Maximizing the Lifespan of Your Lab Gas Generators

Most manufacturers build obsolescence into their equipment — think of your home refrigerator — and lab gas generators are no different. In fact, one manufacturer says that the life expectancy of their gas generators might only be 7 years. 

Once replacement parts become unavailable and manufacturer technical support is limited, you’re forced to invest in new equipment. But we are often able to provide parts and support for older gas generators, saving you money and adding as much as two additional years of utility.

When do manufacturers start phasing out lab gas generators?

Advancements in technology and changes in laboratory requirements inevitably lead to the discontinuation of certain lab gas generator models.

Once the equipment enters the “retirement” phase after about 5 years, you have a year or two at most to rely on the manufacturer’s technical support or original replacement parts. 

GGS Equipment Protection Plans extend the life of lab gas generators.

Plans from GGS provide a cost-effective way to add on years of use, preserve your budget, and give you breathing room to decide when to replace the lab gas generator, whoever the manufacturer. 

Our Equipment Protection Plans provide regular expert maintenance and manufacturer’s parts, from warranty expiration through the time a model reaches its forced manufacturer’s retirement and beyond. 

Going Beyond Equipment Protection

With our in-depth knowledge of diverse lab environments and the day-to-day challenges you face — not to mention our mass spectrometry gas generator expertise — we can offer uniquely unbiased advice and guidance regarding: 

  • Maintenance and repair of all lab gas generator brands.

  • Lab gas generator equipment replacement, manufacturers, and models.

  • Gas generator sourcing, both new and refurbished.

  • Equipment installation.

We understand the life cycle phases of all lab gas generator brands — from purchase to obsolescence — and the importance of planned maintenance, expert support, and the replacement parts you need. 

We’ll help you find and implement a right-sized, customized, and integrated lab gas generator solution designed to make your lab stronger and ‘future-proofed’ as technologies evolve.

We’ve worked with many lab managers. So, we understand internal operations and have activation plans that will give you increased efficiency, cost effectiveness, and overall reliability.
