Specialty Gases
“Laboratory gas” is a pretty broad term and can be a lot of things to a lot of our customers. For some, it defines the gases needed for process control, such as helium as a gas chromatography (GC) carrier gas, or is a pure gas needed to assist with instrument functioning. For others, it’s used to calibrate instruments or as instrument support and requires strict analysis to match manufacturer specifications.
Regardless of your application, our gases are what we say they are. It’s guaranteed. Our lab has been thoroughly inspected, certified, and documented to be compliant with FDA, DOT, OSHA, and EPA requirements, so your custom gas mix’s purity is maximized and accuracy is exact.
Ultimately, what matters to us is what it means to you, and what you need your gas to be and do in your lab. We can produce it all, and will do so to your highly technical specifications, guaranteeing that you receive exactly what you need. Once we produce it, we’re also beside you for all technical support, laboratory development, and to assist you with building any best practices into your lab operations.

Consultation and Repair When You Need It
Welding equipment often needs to perform in challenging workplace conditions. Even with basic maintenance and care, machines might still go offline due to a wide range of complications.
- Dirty filters can affect fuel efficiency and performance.
- Worn out drive rolls can impact wire feeding.
- Malfunctioning welding guns can cause blow backs and excessive spatter.
- Engine drive on the job site or truck may get pummeled by rain, cold, heat, wind, sleet, and more.
In many cases, dust, dirt, and grime are the main culprits of costly breakdowns. Hiring an expert to troubleshoot and diagnose your welding equipment may be the difference between fixing a simple problem and replacing an entire unit.
