Parker Domnick Hunter has developed a new hydrogen generator
for operation with the Varian 820-MS model of Inductively Coupled
Plasma - Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Varian, Inc., are a
manufacturer of scientific instruments and vacuum technologies of
which ICP-MS plays a lead role in the detection and measurement of
ultra-trace elements. The 40H-ICP hydrogen gas generator has been
specifically designed for use with the patented Collision-Reaction
Interface (CRI) of the Varian 820-MS, to provide simple and routine
removal of troublesome spectroscopic interferences.
The new generator produces high purity (99.999%) hydrogen from
de-ionised water and electricity to provide a constant, low
pressure, on-demand supply of gas to Varian's patented CRI. It
offers a safe and convenient alternative to high pressure gas
cylinders, minimising instrument downtime and optimising
productivity.
The 40H-ICP increases safety in the laboratory by removing the
risks posed by storing high pressure hydrogen cylinders on-site.
Unlike cylinders, the hydrogen generator does not need to be
secured to an immovable structure, will not vent under high
temperatures, and does not need periodic gas leak testing. The
compact system can easily be located next to the ICP-MS, improving
convenience particularly for laboratories which have previously
stored hydrogen cylinders.
The generator also assures safe operation due to an automatic
leak detection feature and a patented seven-stage fail safe
protection system.
In addition to hydrogen gas generators, Parker domnick hunter
also offer LCMS nitrogen gas generators, zero, clean dry and CO2
free air systems which deliver optimum performance and
reliability.
With annual sales exceeding $10 billion, Parker Hannifin is the
world's leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control
technologies and systems, providing precision-engineered solutions
for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. The
company employs approximately 52,000 people in 48 countries around
the world. Parker has increased its annual dividends paid to
shareholders for 53 consecutive years, among the top five
longest-running dividend-increase records in the S&P 500 index.
