    Spend less time managing gases and more time focusing on patient needs.

    Industry Gases

    CO2

    Carbon Dioxide

    Used for insufflation, carbon dioxide (CO2) can also be combined with oxygen or air for respiratory simulation. Shop Here.

    CO

    Carbon Monoxide

    Carbon Monoxide (CO) is used in trace amounts as an ingredient for testing how well the lungs exchange gases (lung diffusion testing). Shop Here.

    He

    Helium

    Helium (He) is often used for the treatment of fixed partial upper obstruction or increased airway resistance, helping patients breathe easier. It is also used in liquified form to help MRI machines reach a superconductance state in order to produce high-resolution body images without radiation exposure. Shop Here.

    N2

    Nitrogen

    Nitrogen (N2) is often used in pre-flight lung testing to measure a person’s response to a simulated aircraft cabin environment (hypoxic challenge testing) as well as to power medical devices, and as a cryogen to freeze and preserve blood, tissue, and other biological specimens. It is also used to freeze and destroy diseased tissue in cryosurgery and dermatology. Shop Here.

    N2O

    Nitrous Oxide

    Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is used in the healthcare industry as an analgesic and adjunct to anesthesia. Shop Here.

    O2

    Oxygen

    Oxygen (O2) is used in the healthcare industry for the treatment or prevention of insufficient oxygen in the blood. Shop Here.

    Everything we offer is a click away and it will arrive before you know it.

    Behind every package of fresh meat, bag of pre-cut salad, and bottle of craft beer sits an invisible guardian – specialized gas mixtures that preserve flavor, extend shelf life, and ensure product safety. At nexAir, we work with food processors and packagers throughout the Southeast to develop custom gas solutions that address the unique challenges of food production. Our approach goes beyond simply supplying cylinders – we become partners in your quality control process.

    The Critical Role of Gases in Food Preservation

    Food spoilage begins the moment a product leaves the production line. Oxygen fuels bacterial growth, accelerates oxidation, and triggers enzymatic browning. Carbon dioxide inhibits microbial activity. Nitrogen displaces oxygen and maintains package integrity. Understanding the precise balance needed for each food product requires specialized knowledge of both gas properties and food science. Our team works at this intersection, helping you determine the optimal gas mixtures for your specific products.

    Modified Atmosphere Packaging That Preserves Natural Quality

    Consumers increasingly demand fresh, minimally processed foods without artificial preservatives. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) allows you to meet these demands by replacing the air inside packaging with carefully calibrated gas mixtures. For red meats, we supply high-oxygen blends that maintain the bright red color consumers associate with freshness. For prepared salads and sliced produce, low-oxygen mixtures prevent wilting and browning without affecting taste or texture. Our custom MAP solutions help your products maintain their natural appearance and flavor profile throughout their shelf life.

    Ensuring Consistent Quality Through Precision Blending

    Quality control in food production demands consistency – consumers expect the same taste, appearance, and freshness with every purchase. Gas mixtures that vary from batch to batch can undermine this consistency. Our automated blending systems deliver precise gas compositions every time, eliminating the variability that can affect product quality. We regularly calibrate and certify our equipment to food-grade standards, giving you confidence that the gas touching your products meets the highest purity requirements.

    Technical Support When You Need It Most

    Production issues rarely happen during business hours. That's why our team remains available to help troubleshoot gas-related challenges whenever they arise. When a bakery customer noticed inconsistent product volume during an overnight shift, our on-call technician identified a pressure fluctuation in their carbon dioxide supply and quickly implemented a solution. This responsive support helps prevent quality control failures that could otherwise result in product loss and delivery delays.

    Partnering for Continuous Improvement

    Food trends, processing technologies, and packaging materials constantly evolve. We work with our food industry customers to regularly evaluate gas solutions against changing requirements and opportunities for improvement. Our technical team keeps you informed about innovations in gas applications that might benefit your operation. This collaborative approach helps you stay ahead of challenges and continue meeting the high-quality standards your customers expect.

    Maintaining quality control in food production requires vigilance, specialized knowledge, and reliable partners. At nexAir, we provide more than just industrial gases – we deliver application expertise, responsive service, and custom solutions that address the specific challenges of your food products. Contact our food industry specialists today to discuss how our gas solutions can strengthen your quality control program and help deliver the consistent product excellence your customers demand.
