Remove hydrogen and zero air cylinders
Station provides the gas requirement of FID detectors used on gas chromatographs, with a generator that provides both high purity hydrogen and ultra high purity zero air
Parker Balston's new FID gas station provides the gas requirement of FID detectors used on gas chromatographs, with a state-of-the-art analytical gas generator that provides both high purity hydrogen and ultra high purity zero air Analytical gas generators provide users with inherent benefits and advantages compared with high-pressure gas cylinder supplies

Hydrogen generator eliminates dangerous cylinders
Parker Balston's new method for generating hydrogen in laboratories using the H2PEM series is so easy to use that it could potentially save thousands of euros a year in downtime and installation costs
The end for high-pressure laboratory gas cylinders
There are inherent features both in design and the way in which analytical gas generators operate that mean they offer clear compelling reasons to switch from high-pressure gas cylinders
The FID-1000 provides ultra-high-purity zero air from house compressed air and 99•9995% pure hydrogen straight out of a single box.
Designed around the requirements of users, the FID-1000 will provide gas for one or two FID detectors with 90cc/min hydrogen and 1000cc/min zero air.
Hydrogen is generated from deionised water using a proton exchange membrane cell.
Electrolytic dissociation of water and hydrogen proton conduction through the membrane is the safe, proven technology used to generate hydrogen.
Technology is complemented with features to make the FID-1000 easier to use; for example the generator features automatic water fill as standard.
Ultra high purity zero air is produced by purifying on-site compressed air to a total hydrocarbon concentration of less than 0.1ppm (measured as methane).
During tests baselines resulting from the use of bottled air fuel supply had many peaks and ranged from 0.25ppm to -0.25ppm.
However the tests using the Parker Balston zero air generator produced chromatograms with very flat baselines, with no fluctuations or peaks.
These tests demonstrate the effective nature of the FID gas station's catalytic purification of compressed air to provide ultra high purity zero air. Request a free brochure from Parker Balston - Analytical Gas Systems ...
