Lab Gas Services
Monitoring Tank Locations
Laboratory Services monitors the quantities and locations of all gas cylinders supplied through this program. When required, our staff must move all tanks so that their location and quantity can be tracked for departments, which occasionally audit the tanks that they are renting.
Therefore, do not move any tanks (empty or full) without contacting Laboratory Services.
Gas Analysis
Gas that is delivered by this service can be analyzed, or certified, for exact proportions. If analysis or certification is necessary, inform us when you place your order; otherwise, non-certified gas will be delivered.
