Experis Ultra High Purity gases

Importance of the topic

Ultra high purity gases are essential for ensuring accurate and reproducible outcomes in analytical chemistry and process control. They minimise background interference, protect sensitive instrumentation, and support compliance with stringent quality and regulatory requirements.

Objectives and Overview

This document showcases the Experis® UHP gas range from Air Products, detailing purity grades, impurity specifications and supply options tailored to diverse applications—from chemical analysis to pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Methodology and Instrumentation

A proprietary purification process, BIP® technology, removes critical impurities such as oxygen, water and total hydrocarbons down to parts-per-billion levels. Purified gases are filled into dedicated BIP® cylinders and delivered through precision-engineered regulators and manifolds that ensure the correct purity, pressure and flow rate at the point of use.

Main Results and Discussion

The Experis® portfolio includes acetylene, air, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen in purity grades from 99.9992 % up to 99.99999 %. BIP® cylinders for nitrogen, argon and helium achieve <10 ppb O₂ and <20 ppb H₂O, while hydrogen cylinders reach <100 ppb O₂, <20 ppb H₂O and <10 ppb THC. A consolidated specification table covers impurity limits, cylinder sizes (from 2 L to 18×50 L packs) and verification methods (batch vs. individual analysis).

Benefits and Practical Applications

• Enhanced analytical accuracy and reduced baseline noise in chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques.
• Extended chromatographic column and detector lifetime owing to ultra-low dew points and zero process contamination.
• Full traceability and confidence via ISO 9001 quality management and compliance with European Pharmacopoeia and GMP Part II for pharma grades.
• Flexible deliverables, including diverse cylinder sizes, multi-cylinder packs, and turnkey design-installation services for seamless integration.

Future Trends and Opportunities

The demand for zero-contamination gas solutions will drive further integration of on-site generation systems and advanced sensor networks. Innovations in purification technologies and smart delivery equipment are set to support the evolving requirements of high-throughput laboratories, semiconductor fabs and pharmaceutical R&D.

Conclusion

Experis® ultra high purity gases, reinforced by BIP® technology and rigorous quality assurance, deliver the reliable, traceable and contaminant-free gas supply vital for high-precision analytical and industrial applications.
