Gas Generators and Specialty Gases
Systems are available for many different gases, including hydrogen and nitrogen.
Gas generators deliver particular gases to specific instruments in the laboratory. Systems are available for many different gases including hydrogen and nitrogen. Though the upfront costs of gas generators are high, replacing your gas cylinders with a gas generator can lead to increased convenience and decreases in overall costs. Gas generators are also safer as they limit the amount of flammable and compressed gas in your lab.

6 Questions to Ask When Buying a Gas Generator or Specialty Gases:
- What type of gas do you require for your application?
- What are your current lab gas costs? Would a generator be more cost effective?
- What gas purity do you require?
- Which analytical instrument will the generator be paired with and is it compatible?
- How much space will the gas generator take up in your lab?
- Does the generator meet all relevant regulations (CSA/ETC, EC, EMC, etc.)?
