We offer medical laboratories a wide-range of package types for gases like Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Helium, Acetylene and Propane – let us help you create the safest environments for greater mission efficiency and effectiveness.
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 the medical laboratory industry.
Used for freezing and preserving biological samples, reagents, and cells. Liquid nitrogen is essential for cryopreservation and maintaining low temperatures in laboratory freezers.
Employed in cell culture and tissue engineering to maintain oxygen levels necessary for cell growth and metabolism.
Used in incubators for cell culture to maintain the proper pH and environment for growing cells and tissues.
Utilized in gas chromatography as a carrier gas due to its inert nature and in cryogenics for cooling magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment and other sensitive instruments.
Used in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry for elemental analysis and as a carrier gas in gas chromatography. It is also used in mass spectrometry.
Employed as a carrier gas in gas chromatography and in some chemical synthesis processes within the lab.
Utilized for sterilizing laboratory equipment and instruments that cannot withstand high-temperature steam sterilization.
Occasionally used in specific analytical techniques and in the calibration of instruments.
Used in some chemical reactions and for specific analytical techniques, although it is less common in routine laboratory settings.
Employed in trace gas analysis and in some specialty analytical applications due to its inertness and high density.
Used as a fuel gas in atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) for elemental analysis.

Medical laboratories use nitrogen for preserving biological samples and carbon dioxide (CO2) for incubating cell cultures.
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 and CO2 for medical labs. 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.
Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
