NitroFlow Lab
The Parker Balston® LC-MS NitroFlow Lab is a self-contained membrane nitrogen generator that produces LC-MS grade nitrogen with output pressure to 116 psig. Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of compressors, carefully matched with filtration, and membrane separation technology components. Intake ambient air from the laboratory is filtered using an inlet suction breather filter to remove airborne organic and particulate impurities. This purified air is delivered to a long life low pressure air compressor which provides an air stream to hollow fiber membranes which subsequently separate the clean air into a concentrated nitrogen retentate and oxygen enriched permeate, which is then cycled through the system. Prior to exiting the system pure nitrogen retentate is delivered to a nitrogen amplification compressor to assure proper pressure, flow and purity to the LC-MS. The Parker Balston LC-MS NitroFlow Lab will deliver a continuous or on demand supply of pure nitrogen making it the smart alternative to cylinders. Superior engineering with carefully matched filtration, membrane separation and compression technologies have resulted in a system with the utmost reliability and longevity. Additional applications include: nebulizer gases, chemical and solvent evaporation, instrument supply and purge, evaporative light scattering equipment and sparging.
- Flow capacity to 32 LPM
- Ideal for all derivatives of ESi and APCi modes
- Includes state-of-the-art, oil-less compressors
- Unlike PSA Hosmer technologies, membrane will not suppress corona needle discharge
- Special sound insulation design ensures quiet operation
NitroFlow 60
The Parker Balston® NitroFlow 60 is a self contained generator that produces up to 60 slpm of pure LC-MS grade nitrogen at pressures of up to 100 psig. Nitrogen is produced utilizing a combination of a scroll compressor and nitrogen membrane separation technologies. This combination of technologies yields the highest performing, most reliable and quietest integrated nitrogen generation system available. The NitroFlow 60 is also available with an integrated membrane dryer for use with instruments that require dry air, including the chip cube interface from Agilent Technologies. Typical applications include LC-MS, nebulizer gases for APCI and ESI, Jet Stream, I Funnel, ELSD, Turbo Vaps and chemical solvent evaporation. The unique combination of a rotary scroll compressor and high efficiency membrane ensures that the Nitro- Flow 60 has many unique advantages over all other existing LC-MS nitrogen generators. Rotary scroll compressors operate at low temperatures, have less moving parts and are significantly quieter than piston compressors used by other Nitrogen Generator manufacturers.
- Complete “plug and play” system recommended for all major LC-MS instruments
- Phthalate-free, no organic vapors
- Produces a continuous supply of nitrogen for all LC-MS applications
- Eliminate dangerous nitrogen cylinders from the laboratory
- Nearly silent operation; operates at less than 49 dB(A)
N2 Models
Parker Balston® Low Flow Nitrogen Generators include models N2-04, N2-14, N2-14A, N2-22, N2- 22ANA, N2-35, and N2-35ANA that produce 132 SLPM of compressed nitrogen, on-site. The purity level of the nitrogen stream is defined by the user, for the application, and may range from 95% to 99.5%. Models N2-14ANA, N2-22ANA and N2-35ANA Nitrogen Generators include an oxygen analyzer which monitors the oxygen concentration of the nitrogen stream. An audible alarm signals high or low oxygen concentrations. Parker Balston Nitrogen Generators are complete systems engineered to transform standard compressed air into nitrogen at safe, regulated pressures, on demand, without the need for operator attention. The systems eliminate the need for costly, dangerous dewars and cylinders in the laboratory. Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of filtration and membrane separation technologies. A high efficiency prefiltration system pretreats the compressed air to remove all contaminants down to 0.01 micron. Hollow fiber membranes subsequently separate the clean air into a concentrated nitrogen output stream and an oxygen enriched permeate stream, which is vented from the system. The combination of these technologies produces a continuous on demand supply of pure nitrogen. Typical applications include: LC-MS, nebulizer gas, chemical and solvent evaporation, instrument purge and supply, evaporative light scattering detector use (ELSD), and sparging.
