We are proud to offer standard next day delivery, same-day delivery, and available 24/7 monitoring.
From the first walkthrough to delivery and beyond, our team is always ready to serve.
Our gas experts walk through your setup to build systems that prioritize safety and efficiency.
No matter the volume or type of gas, our state-of-the-art labs and highly-skilled production teams deliver.
Our drivers consistently perform in high-pressure environments and champion things such as customer care, road, and onsite safety.
Stop paying rent on cylinders that aren’t in your possession. And enjoy sustainable service with less deliveries thanks to telemetry’s mobile alerts, real-time measurements, and usage trends.
The days of chasing invoices and updating billing info are gone — access your account and re-order with confidence (and ease).
With WestAir cylinder tracking only pay for the cylinders that you are using. Never overpay for storing empty unused cylinders ever again.
Learn more about the different gases commonly used in biotechnology.
N₂
Liquid nitrogen is essential for cryogenic preservation of cells, tissues, and genetic materials at -196°C. Liquid nitrogen maintains biobanks, enables flash freezing of samples, and provides an inert atmosphere for oxygen-sensitive reactions and storage.
CO₂
Critical for maintaining pH balance in cell culture incubators through bicarbonate buffering systems. CO₂ is also used in supercritical fluid extraction to isolate bioactive compounds and in controlled atmosphere storage.
O₂
Supports aerobic cell cultures and fermentation processes in bioreactors. Oxygen enables cellular respiration for mammalian cell lines and aerobic microorganisms used in protein production and biotechnology research.
Ar
Provides ultra-pure inert atmosphere for sensitive biochemical reactions and prevents oxidation of reactive compounds. Argon also serves as a plasma gas in ICP-MS for trace element analysis of biological samples.
He
Used as a cryogenic coolant for NMR spectroscopy and MRI systems. Helium serves as an inert carrier gas in gas chromatography for analyzing biological compounds and provides leak detection for vacuum systems.

Liquid nitrogen is essential for cryogenic preservation of biological samples, cells, tissues, and genetic materials at -196°C, ensuring long-term viability and preventing degradation during storage.
Yes. We offer real-time monitoring for most of our gas applications to make sure you never run out. Our solution provides you (and us) with accurate updates on your levels so we can optimize your gas delivery, detect leaks and other issues – saving you money while supporting our sustainability commitments.
Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.
We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including bulk nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases commonly used in biotechnology. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.
Yes. WestAir barcodes each cylinder and will scan each cylinder when it enters and leaves your location. This eliminates the need for you to perform time-consuming and error-prone inventory tracking. This process also guarantees accurate monthly billing statements.
Beyond our core gases, we provide hydrogen for hydrogenation reactions in bioprocessing, ammonia for pH adjustment in fermentation, and other specialty gases including nitrous oxide for anesthesia research and custom gas mixtures for specific analytical and research needs.
