Parker Balston's GCGS-7890NA GC Gas Station provides both hydrogen gas and zero grade air to FID detectors on gas chromatographs. The system is specifically designed to provide carrier, fuel gas and support air for 1-3 Flame Ionization Detectors, and 1-3 capillary columns.

Hydrogen gas is produced from deionized water using a proton exchange membrane cell. The hydrogen generator compartment utilizes the principle of electrolytic dissociation of water and hydrogen proton conduction through the membrane. The hydrogen cell produces up to 500 cc/min of 99.99999+% pure hydrogen gas after passing through a no-maintenance palladium membrane with pressures to 100 psi.

Zero air is produced by purifying on-site compressed air to a total hydrocarbon concentration of < 0.05 ppm (measured as methane). The zero air compartment produces up to 3500 cc/min of zero grade air.

The GC Gas Station is a state-of-the-art system with highly reliable components engineered for easy installation, operation, and long-term performance.

The Parker Balston GCGS-7890NA will eliminate all the inconvenience and cost of helium, zero air, and hydrogen cylinder gas supplies and dependence on outside vendors. Uncontrollable price increases, contract negotiations, long-term commitments, and tank rentals are no longer a concern. With a GC Gas Station, you control your gas supply.

All Parker Balston gas generators exceed NFPA 50A and OSHA 1910.103 regulations outlining the storage of hydrogen. Produced and supported by an ISO 9001 registered organization, Parker Balston's gas generators are the first built to meet the toughest laboratory standards in the world: CSA, UL, CE and IEC 1010.
