Mankind Pharma Switched to On-Site Nitrogen Generation for LC-MS

In pharmaceutical research, consistency and safety aren't just goals they are requirements. For Mankind Pharma, a leader in the Indian pharmaceutical landscape, maintaining the integrity of their Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) workflows meant re-evaluating one of their most basic laboratory needs: their nitrogen gas supply.

For years, laboratories have relied on high-pressure nitrogen cylinders. However, as Mankind Pharma looked to optimize their operations, several pain points became clear:

• Safety Risks: Manoeuvring heavy, high-pressure cylinders creates a physical hazard for laboratory staff.
• Operational Interruptions: Cylinder changeovers often lead to downtime, and the risk of running out of gas mid-analysis can jeopardize sensitive experiments.
• Purity Fluctuations: Maintaining a consistent level of nitrogen purity is difficult when dealing with varying cylinder batches.

To address these challenges, Mankind Pharma transitioned from traditional cylinders to a PEAK Scientific Nitrogen Gas Generator. Designed specifically for analytical applications like LC-MS, the generator produces high-purity nitrogen from a simple compressed air source, right where it’s needed.

"Reliable, easy to use, and much safer than using nitrogen cylinders. It offers steady purity and operates with a very low noise level."

Kunwar Sanjeev Singh, Mankind Pharma

The implementation of the generator has delivered measurable improvements across the laboratory:

1. Uncompromising Safety

By eliminating high-pressure gas storage, Mankind Pharma has significantly reduced the risk of workplace accidents. The generator operates at low pressure, providing peace of mind for the entire research team.

2. Reliable Service & Support

Infrastructure is only as good as the team behind it. Mankind Pharma rated their after-sales experience a perfect 5 out of 5, noting that expert engineers are always "one call away."

3. Economic Efficiency

Beyond the safety benefits, the generator has proven to be a "cost-effective solution." By removing the recurring costs of cylinder rental, delivery, and administrative management, the lab has secured a high return on investment (ROI).

For Mankind Pharma, the choice was clear. By investing in a Nitrogen Gas Generator, they have replaced a logistical burden with a "dependable, clean, and cost-effective" asset. It is a modernization that allows their scientists to focus on what they do best: innovating for a healthier world.

PEAK science starts at the source

With a PEAK Scientific service plan, you get more than just maintenance, you get peace of mind. Our team delivers quick, reliable support, with some areas offering 24-hour response and a 95% first-time fix rate which reduces delays and keeps your system operating at PEAK efficiency.

Service plans include dedicated PEAK parts, so replacements are ready when you need them, keeping your lab running efficiently and reliably. As mentioned above, when City of Tucson received a PM service on their Genius XE70, Francisco mentioned that our PEAK engineer worked quickly and did an excellent job as he spotted a small leak, proactively ordered the replacement part, and made a second trip to install it. His attention to detail prevented downtime and perfectly illustrates why regular servicing an part replacement is so important.

Our service plans also include visual support which allows our experts to remotely inspect your generator before visiting your lab, often identifying and solving issues before an engineer even steps on-site. This dynamic approach helps prevent problems, extend equipment life, and maximize your investment.

Regular servicing keeps systems reliable, just ask City of Tucson.
