Universities and Research

Purity, accuracy, and stability of cylinder gases are critical in laboratory applications. Even the slightest impurities can produce inaccuracies in analytical results, interfering with basic research, product development and sample testing. 


Universities and research - high purity gas mixtures

Today's instruments offer a degree of analytical accuracy unprecedented in science. Computer software can interpret, analyse and graph this data faster and more precisely than ever. Your results can be superior. With BOC Special Gases, impurities in laboratory gases won't put your analyses in jeopardy.

Chromatography Carrier and Support Gases

BOC Gases provides high-purity carrier and support gases for optimal functioning of your gas chromatographic systems. The use of high-purity carrier gases bypasses the need for expensive and unpredictable in-line purifiers which often demonstrate breakthrough of contaminants.

Instruments whose accuracy can be enhanced through the use of BOC special gases include discharge ionization detectors, electron capture detectors, flame ionization detectors, flame photometric detectors, and HECD and HALL® ELCD electrolytic conductivity detectors. BOC special gases are also used in helium ionization detectors, mass spectrometers, photoionization detectors, thermal conductivity detectors and ultrasonic detectors.
