GCSTATION NEO
After more than ten years of successful production, Leman Instruments Engineering decided to update the famous GCSTATION 50LC to 2026 requirements.
Meet the new GCSTATION NEO
The GCSTATION is a High-Purity Hydrogen, Zero-Air, and nitrogen Generator with a compressor that supplies independently all gases necessary to aliment GC and GC/MS. The generator is close to the consumer in an elegant casing with a full-color display and touchscreen.
The GCSTATION NEO comprises a high-purity Hydrogen generator, zero-air and Nitrogen generators, and an air compressor system.
Based on the field-proven Solid Polymer Electrolyte (PEM) cell technology, pure Hydrogen is produced at low pressure from electricity and high-quality distilled water. After production, H2 is dried by a passive dryer. It is available 24/7 with a constant purity >99.9995%. Output pressure is regulated electronically and could be set from 0.5 to 5 bar (depending on the gas). This process can be started on demand without a caustic solution.
Compressed air passes through a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) module to dry and filter it from pollutant gases. Based on the same concept, Nitrogen is extracted from a set of filters filled with CMS.
Both output pressures are regulated electronically from 0.5 to 5 bar.
Features
- Reduces in operation costs. Return on investment within 12 months
- Improves resolution and detection limit versus Helium-only usage. Provides high-pressure stability and constant purity of gases
- H2, Zero Air, and N2 are available 24/7 at constant purity. No contamination
- An independent source of Hydrogen, Zero Air, and Nitrogen does not require complex piping and can be easily moved around the laboratory. It can be controlled remotely from a PC
- Low noise compressor
- Very safe operation, internal leak-test, automatic shut-down, over-pressure valve, current and voltage limits
- No handling and storage of cumbersome gas cylinders. There is no cylinder rental fee.
Extended autonomy with a 5L water tank
Long-life compressor with power economy function
