Smaller, Simpler, Safer: Precision Hydrogen SL, the smallest hydrogen generator for GC-FID
Bulk supply of hydrogen gas for GC-FID can be a great inconvenience when your lab has space limitations. But with a small hydrogen generator such as Precision SL, you no longer have to think about these restrictions inside your lab. If you require hydrogen for FID, opting for a cylinder contract might initially seem like the best option. However, apart from the hidden costs for the delivery and ...

Lab gas price bulletin August 2019
Helium prices continue to spike following yet another helium shortage, the third in 14 years. The 2019 auction of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management peaked at $279.95 per million standard cubic feet for crude helium prices, approximately a 135% increase from the previous year. Back in 1996, helium was not considered a strategic resource and as a result, the U.S. government began selling its ...
