OVG-4™ Calibration Gas Generator

The Owlstone OVG-4 is a compact, cost effective calibration gas system, which can generate NIST traceable, precise, repeatable and accurate concentrations of chemicals and calibration gas standards.

Incorporating permeation tube technology the OVG-4 can replace multiple gas cylinders resulting in significant cost and space savings as well as eliminating dangers associated with cylinders. The ability to generate arbitrarily complex gas mixtures makes the OVG-4 calibration gas generator suitable for a broad range of applications from calibration of explosive detectors in military and homeland defence to testing personal monitors in industrial health and safety applications.

Problems with cylinders What's wrong with cylinders?
Not suitable for many compounds e.g. corrosives, explosives etc
Hazards of high concentrations and high pressures
Cylinder and regulator costs quickly stack up with multiple analytes

benefits of permeation tubes Benefits of permeation tubes
Excellent stability for up to two years of continuous use
Traceable to NIST standards
Safety - tubes contain only a very small quantity of analyte and operate at low pressure
