Aker BioMarine save on long term costs with Precision

Aker BioMarine are committed to exploring and investigating the biological effects of krill oil nutrients, which means science and innovation are crucial elements in their strategy.

Each year, Aker BioMarine participate in scientific research in collaboration with academic institutions or leading research organizations to gain new knowledge on the effects of krill supplements on human health and wellness.

Ali Zaferanloo, QC Stability Specialist at Aker BioMarine, took the time to discuss their work and their Precision generators which supply their GC with carrier and detector gas.

Typically, what is the focus of your GC analysis - what sort of applications?

FAME Analysis, residual solvent analysis (ethanol content).         

What PEAK Scientific generators do you have in your laboratory and what GC instruments do they supply?

We have the full Precision stack; Precision Zero Air, Precision Air Compressor, Precision Nitrogen and Precision Hydrogen which is used for carrier and detector gas with our Agilent GCs, 7890 and 8890.

What prompted you to choose a PEAK generator for GC and how long have you used it?

We have been using the generators for 7-8 years, but I cannot remember why we chose to go with the PEAK range. I do know that in the time we have had them they have been easy to manage, the units are very user-friendly, and they are low maintenance solutions. The cost savings in the long term have been another significant benefit.

Would you recommend PEAK Scientific generators to other laboratories? If yes, what would be your main reason for the recommendation?

Yes, I’d recommend PEAK. Reliability, responsiveness, and no headaches during the generator performance are the main reasons for the recommendation.

Moving beyond Precision with Intura

The Precision series has been PEAK’s go-to GC solution for labs needing high quality hydrogen, nitrogen and zero air for carrier and detector gases.

We have recently introduced our newest solution for GC to our customers in the form of the Intura series. Intura provides the peace of mind our customers have come to expect from the Precision range, but does it in a more efficient, sustainable way and with higher purity gas being produced as a result.  

Using proprietary technologies developed by our world-class R&D team, Intura incorporates new approaches to gas purification along with tried and tested components from our LC-MS range to enhance Intura’s performance and reliability. This has resulted in Intura providing the best quality GC carrier and detector gas supply we have ever produced.
