Air Generator

Air generators provide a reliable and convenient source of high-purity air for a variety of laboratory applications. These systems typically utilize a multi-stage purification process, often incorporating compressors, filters, and dryers, to remove contaminants like dust, moisture, oil, and hydrocarbons from the ambient air. This ensures a consistent supply of clean, dry air suitable for powering analytical instruments, supporting sample preparation techniques, and maintaining controlled environments. Air generators can support workflows such as gas chromatography (GC), spectroscopy, and various other analytical techniques that demand a consistent and contaminant-free gas supply, minimizing background noise and ensuring accurate results. They offer a cost-effective and space-saving alternative to traditional compressed gas cylinders, eliminating the need for frequent replacements... + More

They offer a cost-effective and space-saving alternative to traditional compressed gas cylinders, eliminating the need for frequent replacements and associated safety concerns. Common applications for laboratory-grade air generators include supplying carrier gas for GC systems from manufacturers like Agilent and Thermo Fisher, providing clean air for nebulizers in atomic absorption spectroscopy, and powering pneumatic systems in sample preparation equipment. They also play a vital role in maintaining positive pressure environments within glove boxes and other controlled atmosphere enclosures, crucial for protecting sensitive materials and experiments. Furthermore, some models, like those from Peak Scientific or Parker Hannifin, offer specific features like adjustable flow rates and purity levels, catering to the diverse needs of modern laboratories and research facilities. By ensuring a constant and reliable supply of clean air, air generators contribute to increased efficiency, improved data quality, and enhanced safety in a wide range of scientific disciplines. ALT carries a wide selection of pre-owned, refurbished air generators. Every unit includes a standard 90-day warranty, with the option to upgrade to a three-year warranty, plus ALT's lifetime support for as long as you own the equipment. Refurbished air generators from ALT typically cost 50%-80% less than buying new, making it easier for labs to get the equipment they need without straining their budget. - Less
