There are alternatives to PEEK Scientific for N2 generators, and they have to be better!

A common conversation at every conference I've been to the last year or two has been something like 

"what happened to PEEK Scientific?" They used to be so good! 

And I would have agreed. At this point the only conclusion is that Space Karen himself, Elmo Musc must have purchased the company. 

However - generating N2 is actually sort of easy, so you don't have to drop huge amounts of money on service plans for people who will literally never come on site no matter what. There are other alternatives! 

Check out LabTek! 

Pros? They aren't PEKE Scientific! 

Did you know VICI makes N2 generators? They sure do! 


Pros? They aren't PEECK Scientific! 

NIGEN will make you an N2 generator that you can hang out in if you want! Why would you hang out in your N2 generator? I don't know! 


I DO KNOW I'd rather hang out inside of my N2 generator than wait for PEACK Scientific to ignore every email for 19 months about my once new N2 generator that has - since install - had a warning light on and made a weird internal hissing sound. 

And PARKER is the big competitor, I think. I had a single PARKER once that could provide N2 for like 4 mass specs. 

Parker's website is klunky, but you can buy their generators from Restek and they're legit. 


And I'd rather hang out on a klunky website for Parker than try and convince PEACKE SCIENTIFIC that the serial number IN MY F'ING SERVICE CONTRACT THAT THEY WROTE is the correct S/N. And that after 11 months they should put a m'fer on site.

Disclaimers: This post has nothing to do with an actual N2 generator company that used to be good but now fucking sucks. The names used in this post are clearly different.

  1. LNI Swissgas also makes a N2 generators, and one of the options will supply both the ESI source purity AND the collision cell purity N2! Works great!
