• Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) cell eliminates the need for liquid
electrolytes.
• Reliably generate 99.9995% pure hydrogen—for better
chromatography.
• Eliminates high-pressure cylinders—greater convenience and
improved lab safety.
• Compact unit, requiring only one square foot of bench space.
• Quick and easy to service and maintain; unique display lighting
changes color for easy status checks and water level indication.
• Comes with a set of universal power adapters for US, European, and
Asian plug types.
Fuel-grade high purity hydrogen generators are safer alternatives to high-
pressure gas cylinders. The new Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) cell eliminates the use of liquid elec-
trolytes with hydrogen generators. Deionized water is all that is required to generate hydrogen for weeks o
continuous operation. With an output capacity of up to 510 cc/minute, one generator can supply 99.9995%
pure hydrogen for up to several FIDs. Based on cylinder gas savings alone, a hydrogen generator pays for itsel
in one or two years.
Produced and supported by an ISO 9001 registered
organization, Parker Balston® hydrogen generators are
the first built to meet the toughest laboratory standards
in the world: CSA, UL, cUL, and CE Mark. A great safe-
ty feature is the built-in sensing circuit, which shuts the
generator down if a hydrogen leak is detected.
