VICI DBS Mistral EVO LC/MS Nitrogen Generator
Aug 02 2017
The VICI DBS Mistral EVO is a self- contained nitrogen generator that produces up to 99% pure nitrogen with pressure up to 8 bar. It produces nitrogen by utilising a combination of compressors, filtration, and Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) technologies. High and low pressure compressors filtered by high efficiency coalescing filters remove all contaminants down to 0.01 micron. CMS subsequently separate the clean air into a concentrated nitrogen stream and 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/MS nebulizer gases for APCI and ESI, ELSD, Turbo Vaps and chemical solvent evaporation. The Mistral EVO has been tried and tested by all the major LC/MS manufactures.
The unique combination of the dual compressor generator ensures that the Mistral EVO has several unique technical advantages over all other existing LC/MS Nitrogen Generators. Nitrogen is produced at low pressure and then compressed to 8 bar resulting in longer compressor life. The compressor life is guaranteed under the VICI DBS warranty for 8,000 continuous running hours, the longest currently available on the market.
Specialist hybrid generators are available supplying nitrogen and air to meet the specific requirements of the Agilent Microwave Plasma and Sciex LC/MS/MS.
VICI DBS is the worldwide leader in chromatography technologies, and offers a broad range of analytical gas generators to meet your specific an alytical instrument requirements. All products are backed by a fully staffed field sales and service organisation.
A Smarter Choice…
Analytical gas generators can remove the requirement for high-pressure cylinder gases for many analytical instrument users. Analytical gas generators are typically placed next to the instrument they’re servicing. This removes any need for extended gas lines and with them associated problems impacting on purity, cost and convenience.
There are inherent features both in the design and the way in which generators operate which offer clear compelling reasons to switch from high-pressure gas cylinders. The latest gas generators utilise new technologies including adsorbents, catalysts, and specialist micro dryers, to produce ultra high purity gases. Generators are designed to be used at the point of use, simplifying and minimising the amount of pipe work, and guaranteeing ultra high purity gas reaching the instrument.
The generators are designed to run continuously with minimal annual maintenance and therefore minimal disruption to the gas supply. This all but eliminates the introduction of impurities, which can be reduced further by the installation of in line purifiers.
