FT-IR Purge Gas Generator Parker SPECTRA15
Parker FT-IR Purge Gas Generators, including the Spectra 15 and Spectra 30 models, are designed specifically for FT-IR spectrometers to provide a purified purge and air-bearing gas supply from standard compressed air. They deliver high-purity, carbon-dioxide-free air with a dew point below –100°F (–73°C) and remove impurities larger than 0.01 μm.
Built for continuous 24/7 operation, these generators are a reliable and cost-effective alternative to nitrogen cylinders and dewars, significantly reducing overall laboratory operating costs. They offer cleaner background spectra, faster purge cycles and improved signal-to-noise ratios for more accurate FT-IR analysis.
With a typical payback period of less than one year, these compact and quiet systems are also well suited for CO2 analysers, Matrix GCs and a range of other laboratory instruments. Installation is simple, requiring only a 60 psig compressed air supply, 1/4-inch pipe connections and a standard power outlet. Each unit can be placed on a benchtop or wall-mounted for flexible integration into any laboratory environment.
Key Features and Benefits of Purge Gas Generator Parker SPECTRA15
- Eliminates the need for costly, hazardous and inconvenient nitrogen cylinders, improving safety and efficiency in the laboratory.
- Compact, space-saving design frees up valuable bench and floor space for other essential equipment.
- Enhances signal-to-noise ratio, even on non-purged FT-IR systems, for more accurate and reliable analytical results.
- Increases FT-IR sample throughput and maximises instrument uptime, supporting smoother and more productive workflows.
- Trusted and recommended by all major FT-IR manufacturers, ensuring full compatibility and consistent performance.
- Improves laboratory safety by supplying the correct, stable purge-air flow rate, and is fully certified to CSA, UL, IEC1010 and CE standards.
- Prevents unexpected gas shortages during critical analyses and removes the need for nitrogen cylinders or Dewar flasks altogether.
- Offers extremely low operating costs with no hidden charges such as demurrage or cylinder storage fees, delivering a typical payback period of less than one year.
- Specialised sound-insulation design ensures quiet, low-disturbance operation, ideal for laboratory environments.
