Hydrogen Generators for Laboratory Applications
Ultra-pure on-site hydrogen generation for gas chromatography, ICP-MS, HPLC, and analytical instruments requiring carrier gas and fuel gas applications.
Why Hydrogen in Laboratory?
On-site hydrogen generation eliminates cylinder handling, ensures consistent purity, and dramatically reduces operational costs for analytical laboratories.
Enhanced Safety
Eliminate high-pressure cylinder storage and handling risks. Generate only what you need, when you need it, at low pressure for maximum laboratory safety.
Ultra-High Purity
Achieve purity levels up to 99.9999% (6N) without contamination risks from cylinders, regulators, or delivery systems. Perfect for sensitive analytical instruments.
Cost Efficiency
Reduce operational costs by up to 90% compared to cylinder delivery. No rental fees, delivery charges, or cylinder demurrage costs.
Uninterrupted Supply
Never run out of hydrogen during critical analyses. On-demand generation ensures continuous operation without waiting for cylinder deliveries.
Space Saving
Compact benchtop or wall-mounted units free up valuable laboratory space previously occupied by cylinder storage areas and manifolds.
Consistent Quality
Maintain constant gas purity and pressure throughout the day, eliminating variations caused by cylinder depletion and regulator drift.
