Membrane Technology
Nitrogen us produced by utilising a combination of filtration and membrane separation technologies. A supply of compressed air is filtered by high efficiency coalescing filters to remove all contaminants down to 0.01 micron.
Patented propriety hollow fibre membranes then separate the air into a concentrated nitrogen stream. Membrane technology offers some unique performance benefits including phthalate free nitrogen, silent operation, no moving parts and no electrical requirements. There are 10,000´s of systems using Paker Balston membrane technology installed worldwide.

Nitrogen Gas Generator for LC/MS
Membrane with dual compressor technology
NitroFlow Lab for LC/MS
Product Features:
- Complete “Plug and Play” system recommended
by all major LC/MS manufacturers
- Produces a continuous supply of nitrogen for all LC/MS applications
- Phthalate-free, no organic vapours
- Eliminate dangerous nitrogen cylinders from the laboratory
- 8,000 hours compressor warranty
- Internal acoustic dampening ensures quiet operation

The unique combination of the dual compressor technology ensures that the NitroFlow® Lab has several unique technical advantages over all other existing LC/MS Nitrogen Generators.
Nitrogen is produced at low pressure and then compressed to 8 bar. This ensures minimal maintenance of the system with no compressed air filter replacements or waste condensate.
The compressor life is guaranteed under the Parker Balston warranty for 8,000 continuous running hours, the longest currently available on the market.
