F-DGSi is a French, family-owned manufacturer founded in 2006 and headquartered near Paris. The company designs and produces a wide range of high-purity gas and liquid generators—such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and liquid nitrogen systems—for laboratory and industrial applications.
History
[edit]F-DGSi was created by its current CEO Fabienne Palgé in 2006 in Les Ulis, France.[1]

- 2019 - The COSMOS and CALYPSO ranges are revealed to replace the Alliance ranges. Revealed during the Forum Labo show in Paris
- 2023 - F-DGSi India Pvt. Ltd. opened in India
Products
[edit]The company manufactures a variety of on-site gas generation systems aimed at replacing high-pressure cylinders:
- Hydrogen generators (COSMOS series), producing hydrogen with purities up to 99.99999% for GC/GC-MS applications.[2]
- Nitrogen generators, for LC-MS, GC×GC, and sample evaporation, using membrane and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technologies.
- Zero air generators, supplying purified air for analytical detectors such as FID, often as part of modular COSMOS stacks.[3]
- Liquid nitrogen generators (CRYOGEN series), producing 10–80 L/day of cryogenic liquid nitrogen on-site using PSA separation and liquefaction technology.[4]
Manufacturing and quality
[edit]All research, design, and manufacturing are carried out at the company’s Paris-area facility. Products are developed to ISO-compliant standards, with reliability and safety as priorities. The company also provides proactive remote monitoring and long-term service contracts through its "F-DGSi Care" program.[5]
Applications
[edit]F-DGSi generators are used in laboratories and industries for techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), total organic carbon (TOC) analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheology, and particle sizing.
Awards
[edit]- The G3+ rating by the Bank of France, a certificate awarded as a safe company with international customers (2014)
- Grant issued by the French government with a 250,000€ prize to promote and develop F-DGSi's product innovation internationally (2014)[6]
- The Export and Innovation prize awarded by the Ile de France Regional Council for an exceptional international performance (2014)[7]
