Corporate Retrospective 2007: Peak Scientific
When Peak Scientific started manufacturing gas generators in 1997, we knew that there was a huge potential for our gas generation products, which include nitrogen generators for LC–MS as well as hydrogen, ultra high purity nitrogen, and zero air generators for GCs. 10 years later, we are still amazed by the rapid growth of the market not only for gas generator products but also for those instruments that require gas to analyze samples, such as LC–MS and GC.

This fast-moving market has enabled us to grow rapidly and soon made us realize that there was a necessity to operate worldwide. Our global operation has then enabled us to win the Queen's Award for Enterprise for three consecutive years of outstanding performance in the Export Markets in 2004.
Our big success, especially in North America, has prompted us to open a fully operational office in Massachusetts to further develop the North American Market and make Peak Scientific the "Industry's First Choice for Gas Generator Products."
Having achieved this aim with the help of major instrument manufacturers, we want to continue to establish our brand name and offer the best and most reliable products as well as service and support.
In the future, our market will continue to be primarily focused on the design, development, and manufacture of gas generators suitable to operate analytical instruments, in particular, LC–MS, and GC. People are now beginning to realize that gas generators can eliminate the health and safety hazards posed by gas cylinders and also provide you with a convenient and effective solution to your total gas requirements.
We are still very far away from market stagnation or market saturation, and with many new product developments planned here at Peak Scientific, we still see the market evolving.
Peak Scientific will continue their good work with instrument manufacturers and customers, and together, we will see the market continuing to flourish.

Evaluating Natural Preservatives for Meat Products with Gas and Liquid Chromatography
April 1st 2025A study in Food Science & Nutrition evaluated the antioxidant and preservative effects of Epilobium angustifolium extract on beef burgers, finding that the extract influenced physicochemical properties, color stability, and lipid oxidation, with higher concentrations showing a prooxidant effect.
