DESCRIPTION
The Chemtron Gas Mistral Evolution is a self contained generator that produces up to 40 L/min of pure LC/MS grade nitrogen at up to 8 barg (116 psig). Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of compressor and Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) technology. High and low pressure compressors are carefully matched to the CMS demand to ensure quite and reliable operation. This unique combination of dual compressor technology has several unique advantages over all other nitrogen generator commercially available.
Nitrogen is produced at low pressure, which ensures a longer compressor life and then compressed to 8 barg (116 psig) using a second stage compressor. This combination guarantees a long compressor life reducing maintenance costs and down time.
INCREASE EFFICIENCY
The relatively high gas volumes required by LCMS instruments make cylinder supply inappropriate and liquid nitrogen expensive. A  constant,uninterrupted gas supply eliminates interruptions of analyses to change cylinders.
SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY
The 2-stage pressure design allows the compressors to work at their optimum pressure range reducing the stress and results in  extending the life time of the compressors. This reduces maintenance costs and associated downtime.
IMPROVE SAFETY
Nitrogen produced at low pressure and ambient temperature removes the hazards associated with high pressure cylinders and liquid dewars.
ENHANCE PERFORMANCE
Production of a constant flow and pressure of nitrogen improves the consistency of the LC/MS analysis, results and reproducibility.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Payback period can be as short as 6 to 12 months.

OPERATING DIAGRAM
The Mistral Evolution (PSA technology) includes two dynamically balanced, long-life compressors and delivers a continuous or on  demand stream of pure nitrogen gas of 99.5% with a flow rate to 40 L/min.
It uses pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system which removes oxygen, carbon dioxide and water from compressed air. The resulting stream of pure nitrogen is ideal for LCMS instruments and other laboratory applications where inert gases are required.
