Sciway today announced the successful deployment of its X-NG Nitrogen Generator at a leading research laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). For the past two months, the unit has been reliably supporting a Thermo Fisher Scientific Orbitrap Exploris 480 mass spectrometer, delivering consistent performance for high-demand proteomics workflows.
The Orbitrap Exploris 480 is a flagship instrument for deep protein characterization, requiring a steady and dependable nitrogen supply to drive its ion transfer and collision cell functions. Since the installation of the Sciway X-NG, the UCLA team has reported seamless integration and uninterrupted operation, allowing researchers to maintain high-throughput sample analysis without the logistical constraints of traditional gas sources.
The Sciway X-NG is part of the company’s robust X-Series of nitrogen generators. Utilizing advanced membrane separation technology, the X-Series is engineered specifically to meet the rigorous flow and pressure requirements of LC-MS applications. The system converts standard compressed air into a continuous stream of nitrogen, ensuring that high-performance instruments like the Orbitrap Exploris 480 operate at peak stability.
The Sciway X-Series: Versatility Across Instrument Platforms
The X-Series comprises multiple models designed to accommodate a wide range of mass spectrometry platforms. Beyond the X-NG, the series offers variants tailored to different flow rate requirements, ensuring compatibility with a broad spectrum of instruments from leading manufacturers, including Agilent, Waters, Bruker, and Shimadzu. By replacing bulky liquid nitrogen dewars or high-pressure cylinders, Sciway X-Series generators provide laboratories with a reliable, space-saving, and cost-effective infrastructure solution.
The successful operation at UCLA highlights Sciway’s commitment to providing dependable gas generation solutions that keep critical scientific research running smoothly.
