Other Applications We Serve

While our primary focus is medical, biotech, and research applications where reliability is critical, we also serve customers in specialized industrial and commercial applications.

HALT Testing

Highly Accelerated Life Testing for electronics. Liquid nitrogen rapidly cools components in HALT chambers that cycle between extreme temperatures thousands of times to identify product failure points.

Gases Used:

Liquid Nitrogen

Cryogenic Food Processing

Flash freezing and ice cream production. Liquid nitrogen creates ultra-smooth ice cream texture and enables rapid freezing that preserves food quality better than conventional methods.

Gases Used:

Liquid Nitrogen

Cryotherapy & Sports Recovery

Whole-body cryotherapy chambers for athletes and wellness centers. Reduces inflammation, accelerates recovery time, and provides therapeutic benefits through controlled cold exposure.

Gases Used:

Liquid Nitrogen

Tire Inflation

Nitrogen tire inflation for automotive and aviation. Nitrogen maintains more consistent tire pressure across temperature changes and reduces oxidation compared to compressed air.

Gases Used:

Nitrogen Gas (N₂)

Food Packaging & Preservation

Modified atmosphere packaging extends shelf life of packaged foods. Nitrogen displaces oxygen to prevent spoilage, oxidation, and maintain freshness in snack foods and baked goods.

Gases Used:

Nitrogen Gas (N₂)

General Industrial Applications

Inerting, blanketing, purging, and other industrial processes. We provide reliable gas supply for manufacturing operations that require consistent quality and delivery.

Gases Used:

NitrogenCO₂Oxygen

Our Commitment: Regardless of your application, you'll receive the same reliable service, real-time monitoring, and emergency response guarantee that our medical and research customers depend on.

Why Reliability Matters in Research

When your work involves priceless biological samples and years of research, you can't afford an unreliable gas supplier.

The Stakes Are High

  • Running out of liquid nitrogen can destroy years of research
  • Biological samples worth millions can be lost in hours
  • Clinical trials can be delayed or compromised
  • Potential cures and treatments could be set back years

Our Guarantee

  • Real-time monitoring every 10 minutes
  • Proactive refills before you run low
  • 2-hour phone/text response guarantee ($1,000 penalty)*
  • Multiple backup systems for complete reliability
