Research & Development Applications
GasMix™ delivers flexible, on-demand gas standards and controlled atmospheres — enabling rapid method development, sensor studies and reactor experiments with full traceability.
Mix and dilute from 2 up to 16 gases with Gas/Gas or Liquid/Gas modes.
Create multi-point curves and bespoke atmospheres (including trace-level analytes) on demand — with audit logs and certificates.
Overview
The research landscape is vast and fast-moving, but one constant is the need for flexible use of available materials and resources. For diluting and/or mixing 2 to 16 gases, GasMix™ is the right tool when analysts must generate in-situ mixtures at various concentrations — including traces.
Beyond calibration gases, GasMix™ supports controlled gaseous atmospheres, synthesis gas, test gases, and many other on-demand mixtures that are unstable or not available in cylinders. It is widely used by sensor R&D and manufacturing, reactor and pilot-unit chemists, medical research teams, and developers of innovative analytical techniques.
Thanks to its modular design, automation, and Gas/Gas and Liquid/Gas (via LiqMix Nephos) capabilities — plus comprehensive software — GasMix™ adapts to virtually any R&D application. Compatible with Aiolos III, Hurricane and portable Zephyr systems.
Typical R&D Applications
Examples below are representative. Each configuration is built on demand for your gases, ranges, matrices and uncertainty targets.
Effectiveness of Catalysts
Generate atmospheres with selected NOx concentrations and controlled humidity to evaluate catalytic or biofilm materials under realistic conditions.
Interference Characterization
Create mixtures of 4–8 compounds (alkanes, alkenes, NO2, CO2…) in a balance gas. A GasMix™ Hurricane with up to 10 channels delivers complex multi-component matrices on request.
Controlled Gas Atmospheres
Dynamic generation of synthesis gas or synthetic air with variable O2/N2; widely used to feed oxidation reactors and pilot units with programmed ramps and holds.
Controlled Impurity Addition
Generate target analyte concentrations to assess LOD/LOQ, linearity, drift and hysteresis of detectors, analyzers and sensors — with full audit trail and exports.

FAQ — R&D
Can GasMix™ generate mixtures that are not available in cylinders?
Some research gases are unstable. Somen required concentrations of analytes are too low (ppb or even ppt levels). GasMix™ creates them on demand with documented concentrations and uncertainty.
How many inputs can I control?
Can you generate gases from liquids?
This is possible via LiqMix Nephos.
