Peak Scientific, market leaders in laboratory gas generation, launched a worldwide initiative last year to assist an international charity which focuses on delivering emergency medical aid to people around the world affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters or exclusion from healthcare.

The customer-driven initiative was structured around Peak Scientific’s warranty registration, whereby, when a customer completed their warranty registration, Peak made a donation to the charity on the customer’s behalf.

The initiative resulted in a substantial donation of $10,000 being donated to the charity.

Global Service Director, Billy Myers stated:

“We hope that this will go a long way in supporting the worthy causes the charity offers aid too. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank every customer who took the time to complete their warranty registration, as without their participation we would not have raised as much money for this worthy cause.”

With 18 offices throughout the world, being a global company which acts local has been paramount to the growth of Peak’s business. Supporting an international charity which acted in a similar fashion meant that there was undoubted synergy between the two organisations which contributed to the initiative’s success.

Peak’s new warranty initiative, launched April 2016, offers up to $350 (or currency equivalent) to each customer who purchases a gas generator and completes their warranty registration.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Gas Generators and AnalyzersGas generators are used for supplying or monitoring a regular flow of a high purity gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen or zero air for applications such as gas chromatography. Gas analyzers can be used in supply chain processes and laboratory experiments with portable analyzers for monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> levels as well as trace gases. Regular flow can be produced with gas control modules and flow meters.

Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
