Technical Applications for Peak Scientific in Australia
In Australian research and industrial facilities, maintaining a consistent and pure gas supply is vital for the performance of sensitive instrumentation. The range includes the powerful Genius XE series, designed specifically for the high-flow demands of LC-MS/MS, and the modular Precision series for GC carrier and detector gas. For laboratories focused on fuel analysis and material science, the Peak Precision Hydrogen H2 200cc Generator provides a precise, high-purity hydrogen source with integrated safety features and automated water management.
For institutions involved in Environmental monitoring and Food and Feed safety, achieving accurate trace-level detection requires gas that is free from contaminants. Peak generators utilize multi-stage purification and electronic compressor optimisation (ECO) to deliver "analytical grade" gas with minimal noise and heat output. By combining these innovative tools with our regional support infrastructure, we help Australian labs transition to "green" and cost-effective gas solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern chromatography and spectroscopy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary benefits of a gas generator over gas cylinders?
A gas generator provides a continuous, on-demand supply of gas, eliminating the risk of running out mid-analysis. It is also significantly safer, as it stores only a minimal volume of gas compared to high-pressure cylinders, and it removes the physical risks associated with moving heavy tanks.
Which Peak Scientific series is best for LC-MS/MS applications?
The Genius XE series is the preferred choice for LC-MS/MS. It features integrated compressors and Multi-Stage Purification™ technology to deliver the high-volume, high-purity nitrogen required by the latest mass spectrometers from all major manufacturers.
How does the Precision series support GC laboratories?
The Precision series is modular and stackable, allowing you to build a system that meets your exact GC gas needs. It can supply carrier gas (Hydrogen or Nitrogen) and detector gas (Zero Air) in a single, compact stack, saving valuable bench space.
Is hydrogen gas generation safe for use in a laboratory?
Yes, Peak hydrogen generators are engineered with multiple safety levels, including internal leak detection and automatic shutdown. Because the generator produces gas on demand, there is never a large volume of hydrogen stored in the laboratory, making it much safer than using cylinders.
What maintenance is required for a Peak Scientific gas generator?
Maintenance is typically limited to an annual service interval. For hydrogen generators, this mainly involves replacing the de-ioniser cartridge and silica gel. The intuitive touchscreen interface on most models will notify you when service is due and provide diagnostic alerts.
Can one generator supply gas to multiple instruments?
Yes, depending on the model's flow rate and your instruments' consumption. For example, a single Precision Hydrogen 1200cc generator can supply fuel gas to multiple FIDs, and high-flow Genius XE models can often support two or more LC-MS systems simultaneously.
