Claind AirGen: The Compact Powerhouse for Zero Air Generation

Written by David Oliva | December 31, 2024

In the world of analytical chemistry, the quest for pure, contaminant-free air is never-ending. For smaller laboratories, space is often at a premium, making the choice of equipment crucial. Enter the Claind AirGen GC - a compact zero air generator that's revolutionizing how small labs approach their gas supply needs.


Why Size Matters in Small Labs

Space constraints are a common challenge in many analytical laboratories, particularly in academic settings, start-ups, or specialized testing facilities. Every square inch counts, and bulky equipment can quickly overwhelm limited bench space. This is where the Claind AirGen GC shines, offering a powerful solution in a remarkably compact package.



The Claind AirGen GC: Small but Mighty

At just 40 cm (15.8") in height, 38 cm (14.9") in width, and 53 cm (20.8") in depth, the AirGen GC is one of the most compact zero air generators on the market. But don't let its small size fool you - this generator packs a punch:

1. Impressive Output: Despite its compact size, the AirGen GC delivers a flow rate of 3000 NmL/min, sufficient for multiple GC instruments.

2. High Purity: With hydrocarbon content (HCT) less than 0.1 ppm, it meets the stringent requirements of sensitive analytical techniques.

3. Lightweight Design: Weighing only 28 kg (62 lbs), it's significantly lighter than many competitors, making installation and any necessary relocation a breeze.


Advanced Features in a Small Package

The Claind AirGen GC doesn't compromise on features despite its small footprint:

1. PSA Technology: It employs Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology coupled with a catalytic reactor for efficient purification.

2. Moisture Control: Achieves a dew point below -50°C, ensuring dry air for your instruments.

3. Smart Monitoring: Equipped with a CPU and Touch Screen Display, it allows easy monitoring of operational status and alarms.

4. Connectivity: Features Ethernet output for PC connection, enabling remote monitoring and control.

Ideal for Small Lab Applications

The AirGen GC is particularly well-suited for:

1. Academic Research Labs: Where space is often shared and equipment needs to be mobile.

2. Start-Up Biotech Companies: Who need high-quality results but may have limited lab space.

3. Quality Control Labs in Small Manufacturing Facilities: Where bench space is at a premium.

4. Mobile or Field Laboratories: Where compact, lightweight equipment is essential.


Cost-Effective Solution for Small Labs

For smaller labs, the AirGen GC offers an attractive cost proposition:

1. Lower Initial Investment: Its competitive pricing makes it accessible for labs with tighter budgets.

2. Reduced Operating Costs: On-demand gas generation eliminates the need for expensive gas cylinder deliveries and rentals.

3. Energy Efficiency: Its compact size contributes to lower power consumption compared to larger models.

 


Scalability for Growing Labs

One of the AirGen GC's standout features is its modular design. As your lab grows, you can easily scale up by connecting multiple units in a tower configuration, supporting up to 4 stacked generators. This flexibility ensures that your initial investment continues to serve you as your needs expand.


Big Performance in a Small Package

The Claind AirGen GC proves that good things indeed come in small packages. For smaller laboratories grappling with space constraints, this compact zero air generator offers a perfect blend of performance, reliability, and space efficiency. It's a testament to how innovative design can meet the specific needs of smaller analytical facilities without compromising on quality or capability.

By choosing the Claind AirGen GC, small labs can enjoy the benefits of on-site zero air generation - consistent purity, improved safety, and cost savings - without sacrificing valuable lab space. It's not just a generator; it's a smart investment in your lab's efficiency and future growth.
