Founded in 1992 Peak Scientific Instruments Ltd might not have invented the concept of laboratory gas generators, but is nevertheless proud of supporting scientific research in every imaginable sector. It is widely known that Scotland is famous for being a hotbed of creativity. Since before the Industrial Revolution Scots have been at the forefront of innovation and discovery across a wide range of spheres: the steam engine, the bicycle, tarmacadam roads, the telephone, television, the transistor, the motion picture, penicillin, electromagnetics, radar, insulin and calculus are only a few of the most significant products of Scottish ingenuity. As we start a new millennium, the technologies may have changed, for example with likes of laboratory gas generators, but the creative spark still burns brightly, seen most prominently perhaps in the creation of Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal.
Our range of products – including small scale nitrogen and hydrogen systems – is primarily used to supply analytical equipment (GC/ LCMS) for the purposes of materials characterization.
They are manufactured at our home office in Scotland: a modern, purpose built facility next to Glasgow International Airport. Gas Generators are all we concentrate upon. Focus, dedication and drive on this single activity provides the quality, design and service you want and has helped us establish a wide distribution network.
