3 Financial Cost benchmarks before buying a gas generator

Considering all costs involved in a gas generator can make or break your cashflow investment. These do not only include the gas generator itself, but also other touchpoints, such as:

• Yearly maintenance costs
• Quantity of gas generators needed
• Programming maintenance/calibration visits
• Space layout
• Staff productivity

3 factors to consider before buying a gas generator

Heat and Vibration

Heat and vibration affect the gas quality. To produce a stable quality it needs a higher power/energy consumption in-lab, like using more electrical energy to keep the room temperature within range with AC.

Back-up gas generators

Some laboratories and gas generator users purchase an extra gas generator that sits inoperative to be used as back up if/when the principal one breaks down or presents failure. So that they don't have to wait until the reparations are ready, having their operations stopped.

Quantity of gas generators

When your lab has more than one analysis instrument (LCMS, GC, FID, etc.), or an expansion is in the plans, the common recommendation is to buy one gas generator per instrument.
​• In terms of money, your costs increase in function of how many instruments you have. Your overall costs will be higher.
​• In terms of space, the more gas generators and analysis instruments you have, the more space you need. Your lab layout max capacity will be more restricted and your staff productivity could decrease.

What if there was a way to make it more efficient for you?

What if you could have ONE gas generator that could take care of several instruments, no matter the instrument's brands, saving both money and space?
