“Build it and they will come.” We all remember “Field of Dreams.” Beware the operative word here — dreams. This assumption has no home in the real world of high end specialty gas production technology....
Twenty years ago, the vast majority of bulk medical gas systems (BMGS) were installed at large hospitals. It was a simplistic supply chain as these systems received product shipments directly from the air separation unit...
Hydrogen (H2) is used extensively for electronics manufacturing in the semiconductor, display, LED, and photovoltaic application segments. This most simple of molecules exhibits unique properties: it has excellent heat transfer capabilities and is an efficient...
In 2010, the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) revolutionized how drug manufacturers registered their facilities and listed their products.

Ultra high purity gases, calibration gases, and cylinder gas mixtures are used in many manufacturing processes and must be free from harmful contaminants that could interfere with controlled processes or vital instrumentation.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR) have demonstrated the most precise method yet to measure the structural configuration of monoclonal antibodies, an important factor...
