2. INTRODUCTION

The VICI DBS® Mistral Evolution Hybrid is a self contained generator that produces up to 12 L/min of high 
purity nitrogen and 22 L/min of air. The generator is designed to meet the specific requirements of the 
Sciex LC/MS. Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of compressor and Carbon Molecular Sieve 
(CMS) technology. High and low pressure compressors are carefully matched to the CMS demand to ensure 
quite and reliable operation. This unique combination of dual compressor technology has several unique 
advantages over all other nitrogen generators commercially available.
