Reliable N2 generator for analytical chemistry
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:UPLC, HPLC

"As lab manager of my company, I’m tasked with the maintenance and upkeep of all instruments and equipment within the lab. The N2 generator from Peak Scientific is one of the least problematic instruments we have. With very little after-sales care and maintenance, we’re able to benefit from it constantly for our chemist’s needs for liquid chromatography and mass spec. I personally don’t use it but have never heard a bad thing about it. Other than the initial costs up front to purchase the equipment, it is a great investment for the lab."

Fantastic instrument and fantastic service
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Running multiple analytical instruments in a GMP laboratory

"The product is excellent and works running multiple instruments without issue. There is no set up required, the instruments (QDA, ELSD and CAD) call for nitrogen and the generator supplies it as needed. I am extremely happy with the unit and the initial pre setup, installation and aftercare has been fantastic. Could not recommend the unit and peak more."

Great results with efficient performance.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Analyse compounds in LC-MS associated to a Waters QDa equipment.

"Genius XE70 230V - SL0 associated to the mass analysis coupled with UPLC it is a very good way to avoid impurities that could affect the mass analysis. Very high level of assistance and easy to interface with equipment. High value in terms of economics that could provide a easy and good way to avoid cylinder for nitrogen that could be more expensive in long period."

Love the instrument, hate the company
Rating: 3.0

  • Application Area:Nitrogen Generator for LCMS Analysis

"Fantastic product, but company is very difficult to work with. Slow to return phone calls and emails and will not provide service manuals for their equipment. I am very happy with the equipment, but after 2 years I needed to perform a compressor rebuild and the options from PEAK were very expensive and they were not helpful when performing the work myself. They also keep Thomas compressors from helping their customers. I would think twice before buying a PEAK product again, not because of the quality of equipment, but due to the company policy to not help customers repair equipment themselves."

Reliable instrument
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Drug discovery, metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics

"It's plug-and-play, although we had professionals to install it for us. Easy to use and control. It had minor issues during the past 2-3 years. The service engineers were very good and efficient. Relatively quiet compared to some loud ones I used before. The company recently are very slow on scheduling PMs. Ours are due back in August and they still haven't performed it. Price wise it's still more expensive than liquid nitrogen dewars. But it's worry free (almost)."

Easy to use, low to no maintenance, noisy generator
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Reference Laboratory

"The Nitrogen Genius XE generator is user non-maintenance equipment, install & it works. After sales care is 5 stars because you do not need after care. If I had known (I was not the purchaser) I would have put a drain line in the floor to drain the water from the generator, making it a walk away and forget it piece of equipment. My one complaint: NOISE POLLUTION."

Overall Great, just weird when the internal breaker trips.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:LC-QQQ Nitrogen Source

"Overall, the product is great. Pretty solid and has very little maintenance. On a couple of occasions, there has been a power outage or surge, and one of the internal breakers on the unit tripped. It was not easy to discern which one, because the color coding seemed to be backwards. They were marked with red and green colors. It turns out that when it trips, it goes green. I had to call the service folks to figure out what to do. Once I knew though, it has been easy to maintain and runs great."

Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Mass Spec

"Due to the challenging times with all the pandemic situation, I carried out the first set-up of the instrument, with the support of Peak Service, and it was very easy to carry out. You do not need any special knowledge to use it, that´s help to more junior staff to feel confident. We purchased the instrument last March and since them is working 24/7 without any issue. I highly recommend this Nitrogen generator."

Incredible product, perfect for use with our vacuum chambers!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Field Emitter Development

"We use our Genius XE for both purging our vacuum chambers and to provide an inert atmosphere during component bakeout; it is excellent for this job. The customer service we had with PEAK was impeccable, from the initial consultation, through installation, and even when discussing maintenance plans. The unit is quiet, adaptive, and reactive to our laboratory's changing needs, and it looks stylish too, which is always a bonus! Compared to the hassle, expense, and uncertainty of bottled gas this generator will win every single time."

Great product with robust and reproducible performance!
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Sample evaporation/concentration for HPLC analysis

"Prior to purchasing the Genius XE35, we have used PEAK for all of our LC-MS/MS nitrogen generators. Their customer service and product performance have always been excellent. The local account team came in to visit us due to our company requiring a new service. In the past, our sample evaporator/concentrator was operated using air via a vacuum pump. Due to potential analyte degradation/stability issues, we wanted to investigate the use of nitrogen. The PEAK team listened to my requirements and suggested the Genius XE35. The key selling point for me was the small footprint of the unit. It fits perfectly under the fumehoods in our lab and therefore, no floor space was lost. It is also very quiet when in operation. Before making a decision to purchase, we were loaned a unit in order to test our applications and validate the system. Again, this made PEAK stand out for me above all other competitors. After a successful trial period, we purchased the unit and have been using it for 18 months with no issues. A great product that I would highly recommend!"
