Medical gases for the pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry
Nitrogen
Gaseous nitrogen is commonly used for blanketing — protecting a process from moisture intrusion, oxidation, degradation and contamination. Additional uses include purging, pressure transferring, mixing and capturing air emissions. Cryogenic liquid nitrogen is used to control the temperature in reactor cooling applications and to preserve biological samples.
Oxygen
Critical for cell growth applications, oxygen is used in fermenters and bioreactors.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is used throughout the pharmaceutical market. As a gas, it is used in bench top incubators. In manufacturing, it is used in super critical fluid chromatography. And in wastewater treatment, it is used for self-buffered pH control.
Dry Ice
At temperatures of -109°F (-79°C) and below, dry ice provides the cooling capacity needed to transport temperature sensitive products.
