DISCOVERY MEETS DEPENDABILITY
WestAir proudly support California’s pharmaceutical industry with high-purity gases and exceptional service. We offer pharmaceutical operations 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 pharmaceutical industry.
Widely used for inerting and blanketing to prevent oxidation and contamination of sensitive pharmaceutical products. Nitrogen is also used in freeze-drying (lyophilization) processes, purging equipment, and packaging to extend the shelf life of products.
Employed in bioreactors for cell culture and fermentation processes to support the growth and metabolism of aerobic microorganisms and cell lines used in the production of biopharmaceuticals.
Used in cell culture incubators to maintain the proper pH and environment for growing cells and tissues. CO2 is also used in supercritical fluid extraction processes to obtain high-purity compounds from raw materials.
Utilized for inerting and blanketing applications similar to nitrogen, especially in cases where ultra-high purity and low reactivity are required. Argon is also used in some analytical instruments.
Used in hydrogenation reactions to reduce or saturate organic compounds, a common step in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Employed as a carrier gas in gas chromatography (GC) and in some cooling applications. Helium’s inert nature makes it ideal for analytical applications requiring high precision.
Utilized in the production of certain pharmaceuticals and as a reagent in various chemical syntheses.
Used as an insulating gas in high-voltage equipment and occasionally as a tracer gas in leak detection applications within analytical laboratories.
Used in specific chemical synthesis processes, particularly in the production of some APIs and fine chemicals.

The pharmaceutical industry uses nitrogen for inerting and preserving drugs, and oxygen in the production of certain medications.
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 the pharmaceutical industry. 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.
