The PEAK Scientific Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 is a high-purity laboratory hydrogen gas generator designed primarily for GC and GC-MS applications. The photographed unit is clearly identified on its manufacturer's rating label as “Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200cc”, with a maximum output pressure of 100 PSI and a 100–230 V electrical configuration.

The Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 generates hydrogen on demand using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology, followed by purification and drying stages. PEAK Scientific specifies the Trace 1200 for high-purity hydrogen carrier gas as well as hydrogen fuel gas applications such as FID and FPD detectors. It can also be used as a collision-gas source for compatible ICP-MS systems.

The generator can produce up to 1,200 cc/min of hydrogen at a maximum output pressure of 100 psi / 6.9 bar, with published purity up to 99.99999% for the Trace 1200 GC carrier-gas configuration. The system incorporates automatic safety features including internal leak detection and automatic shutdown.

The photographed unit shows visible cosmetic wear, scratches, staining and surface marks consistent with previous laboratory use. The manufacturer's label identifies the serial number as 722110510.

Applications

The PEAK Scientific Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 is designed primarily for gas chromatography (GC) and GC-MS laboratories requiring a reliable supply of high-purity hydrogen. It can provide hydrogen as carrier gas for suitable GC systems and as fuel gas for detectors such as FID and FPD.

The generator can supply multiple compatible GC instruments depending on their individual gas requirements. PEAK Scientific also identifies the Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 as suitable for ICP-MS collision-gas applications, making it useful for laboratories operating multiple analytical platforms.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Refurbished laboratory gas generators can provide laboratories with access to established analytical gas-generation technology at a lower acquisition cost than purchasing new equipment. The Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 is particularly useful for laboratories requiring an on-demand high-purity hydrogen source for GC and GC-MS applications.

On-demand hydrogen generation can reduce dependence on compressed hydrogen cylinders and the associated cylinder handling and replacement requirements. The Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 was designed to provide a compact alternative for laboratories requiring hydrogen for carrier-gas and detector applications.

Additional Information

This PEAK Scientific Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200 is a previously used laboratory hydrogen generator with visible cosmetic wear and surface marks. The manufacturer's identification label confirms the model as Precision Hydrogen Trace 1200cc, maximum output pressure of 100 PSI, voltage of 100–230 V, and serial number 722110510.

Before laboratory use, the generator should be professionally inspected and tested for hydrogen purity, gas flow, output pressure, water system operation, leak detection, automatic shutdown, electrical safety and overall generator performance. The condition of the de-ionizer cartridge, drying system and internal hydrogen-generation cell should also be verified.
