  • nexAir’s Role in University Science Labs: Providing Reliable Gas Solutions for Successful Experiments

    In academic research, a single missed delivery or wrong gas blend can delay weeks of effort. Unlike industrial operations, university labs often run multiple projects across departments, each with its own schedule, budget, and technical requirements.

    This calls for a supplier that not only understands the science behind industrial gases, but the rhythm of campus life. At nexAir, we leverage decades of experience and expertise to provide the supplies that keep research moving without interruption.

    Flexible Supply for Campus Needs

    Universities don’t have the same requirements as fabrication factories. Demand can spike when multiple research projects are underway, then taper off during academic breaks — making it hard to predict needs. 

    That’s why nexAir offers supply models specifically tailored to the ebb and flow of campus life. By aligning deliveries with actual usage, labs reduce waste, control costs, prevent running out, and avoid overstocking. This flexibility keeps projects running smoothly and departments stay within budget.

    Custom Blends for Specialized Research

    No two research departments have the exact same requirements. A chemistry lab may require a steady stream of high-purity nitrogen, while a biology lab may depend more on precise carbon dioxide-oxygen mixtures for cell cultures. These needs can vary not just between departments, but from project to project.

    nexAir’s experienced team works closely with faculty and lab managers to identify the exact specifications of each task. Our team of chemists then creates bespoke gas blends that don’t simply meet these needs, but enhance processes and spur innovation.

    At our state-of-the-art facilities, we ensure that every blend meets the highest standards of purity, consistency, and safety.

    Diverse Distribution for Smarter Labs

    Every campus works with different constraints, specifically with regard to budget or infrastructure. One-size-fits-all solutions rarely work. Instead, at nexAir, we offer a range of delivery mechanisms to suit specific needs — from individual cylinders and microbulk systems to large-scale bulk tanks and on-site generation.

    We also create centralized gas distribution systems for larger institutions looking for an efficient solution to supply multiple labs. This approach reduces the storage space required for cylinders, as well as minimizes the safety risks associated with frequent handling. By ensuring a consistent, uninterrupted supply from a single source, nexAir helps universities focus on research instead of worrying about logistics.

    Reliable Gas at the Click of a Button

    The process of ordering and managing your gas supply should never slow down research. With our new eCommerce platform, however, delays are a thing of the past.

    Departments can use nexAir NOW to place orders instantly, track deliveries, and access real-time inventory data. Through various built-in monitoring tools, labs can anticipate needs before supplies run low. They can also compile documentation needed for compliance, and track spending and usage patterns for better budget management.

    The result is greater reliability, less administrative overhead, and a smoother path from planning to experimentation.
