Enhancing Laboratory Efficiency and Reliability across India with PEAK Scientific

Laboratories across India are increasingly seeking reliable and efficient gas supply solutions for their analytical instrumentation. The stability, purity, and cost-effectiveness of the gas supply are critical factors for many labs in India.

Several laboratories have shared their positive experiences using PEAK Scientific gas generators, highlighting benefits ranging from improved performance to significant cost- and time-savings compared to traditional gas supply methods.

Stable baselines and robust performance for GC analysis

We spoke with a number of labs who use PEAK generators for GC applications, and they emphasized the importance of high-quality gas to produce reliable results in their analysis. Sudhakar Puli, Group Leader at Eisai Pharmaceuticals India Private Ltd., has Precision Hydrogen and Zero Air generators in the lab which supply detector gas to the GC. The primary focus of their GC analysis includes solvent recovery and in-process analysis, such as residual analysis, related substances, residual solvents, and assay methods.

According to Sudhakar, who has been using PEAK generators for over seven years, the decision to use PEAK was driven by their ability to provide stable and high-quality gas, resulting in a "very fine baseline without any disturbances" as well as good safety features and low operational cost.

Sudhakar mentioned positive site visits from PEAK engineers who possess "very technical knowledge” and provided “immediate response". Sudhakar would recommend PEAK Scientific due to their low operational cost, zero breakdowns, and production of high-quality gases.

Similarly, Nilotpal Saharia, Technical Assistant at NIPER G, uses Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Zero air generators for both carrier and detector gas. The decision to choose PEAK was based on the generators' high purity gases, robust performance, and good service and have been using them since the lab's opened. Nilotpal also highlighted the reliability of the service, noting several site visits where engineers "attended and resolved the issues" during crises.

Reliability and operational ease for LC-MS analysis

Anirudha Dixit, Scientific Assistant at NFSU, focuses on metabolomics and residual analysis, and uses PEAK generators with various Agilent and Waters LC-MS instruments. The main factor in choosing Peak, and using them for over five years now, was our reputation for being "rugged and almost no maintenance". The service provided by PEAK engineers was described as "really very good," with engineers being "very hardworking and honest". Anirudha recommends PEAK due to their "very good build quality” and has already recommended them to various labs, finding that visitors, including government and law enforcement officials, show interest in the product.

Ramesh M, Analytical Scientist at Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., focus on residues analysis in different matrices and use PEAK’s Genius generators to supply Waters Xevo TQS micro and Agilent 6460 TQ instruments. Their previous experience with liquid nitrogen cylinders was challenging, citing difficulties in maintaining pressure, transport, connectivity, and price. They found that a PEAK generator provides a "one stop solution for gas generation".

A key benefit for the team at Dr Reddy’s has been "time and cost savings" compared to their previous gas supply. They have had multiple site visits from engineers, including for preventative maintenance and issue resolution, noting that the engineers are "readily available", "honest” and “clearly explains issues with proper instructions." Their main reason for recommending PEAK generators is the time and cost saving they provide, calling it a "one stop solution".

Quality, service, and efficiency in one PEAK package

Across both GC and LC-MS applications, there are many common threads when it comes to the benefits of using PEAK Scientific generators. Users consistently praise our high quality and the purity of the gases which are provided. The reliability and robust performance of the generators are also highlighted, leading to benefits like zero breakdowns and almost no maintenance.

The move to generators over bulk gas supply resulted in operational improvements, including lowering of operational costs as well as time savings. These factors all contribute to a more efficient and reliable laboratory environment.

The strong testimonial from these users shows the positive impact PEAK Scientific gas generators have had on laboratory operations and analytical workflows across India.
