Innovations Designed for Gas Purity
and Efficiency in Analytical and Life Science Laboratories
Airgas, Inc. (NYSE: ARG), one of the nation’s leading suppliers
of industrial, medical, and specialty gases, and related products,
today announced that it will exhibit and demonstrate award-winning
specialty gas products and technology and introduce new resource
guides at the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and
Applied Spectroscopy (PITTCON) at Ernest N. Morial Convention
Center in New Orleans, March 8 – 12, 2015.
“Our customers are always striving to optimize their results and
find efficiencies where possible, including streamlining their gas
usage,” said Bill Russo, Airgas’ Vice President – Specialty Gases.
“The Airgas technologies on display at PITTCON, as well as our
newest resource guides, support customers’ goals of improving
processes, obtaining consistency and quality, and identifying
savings opportunities whenever possible.”
Among the products on display will be the new Certificate of
Analysis QR Code and Airgas SRVS® App. The
product, recently awarded a Golden Gas Award from Gases &
Instrumentation International magazine, saves time, reduces errors,
and supports regulatory compliance by putting analytical cylinder
information in the palm of customers’ hands. Cylinder data is
stored on QR Codes that are placed on Certificates of Analysis and
cylinder labels. The Codes are scanned through the Airgas SRVS App,
accessing the data to be viewed and managed also through the app,
eliminating the need to re-enter the information into various
systems and databases.
“We are always looking to develop new technologies to streamline
processes for our customers,” said Frank Kandl, Director of
Business Development – Airgas Specialty Gas Equipment. “Our new
award-winning QR Code and SRVS system saves time and eliminates
data-entry errors, so customers can focus on the task at hand.”
Airgas specialty gas experts will also share and discuss new
resource guides including The Chromatographer’s Guide to Gas and
Gas Delivery Systems, the Architects and Engineers Systems Guide
for Laboratory Gases and Cryogenics, and the Guide to Gas Cabinet
Safety and Code Conformance. These recently developed informational
resources provide in-depth expertise on a range of topics
pertaining to gas, gas delivery systems, and high purity
applications, including safety, process accuracy, product
conservation, and more.
On Saturday, March 7 at 8:30 a.m., Frank Kandl, Director of
Business Development – Airgas Specialty Gas Equipment, and Reginald
Bartram, Gas Chromatography Consultant for Airgas, will present
“Optimizing Your Gas Delivery System to Improve Column Life and
Increase Sensitivity.” On Thursday, March 12 at 10:05 a.m., Bartram
will present “The Proper Installation of Gas Lines for
Chromatographic Equipment Can Improve Your Sensitivity, Column
Life, and Increase the Safety of Handling Gases in the Lab.”
“These sessions provide valuable insight and solutions that can
help gas users achieve safe and consistent performance and conserve
resources,” said Kandl. “By optimizing processes, users can benefit
from significant cost savings.”
More information on Airgas’ products on display, informational
resources, and sessions, as well as information on all Airgas
specialty gas product and service offerings, will be available at
the Airgas exhibit (Booth #4053) from March 8 – 12. Registered

daily drawings to win a Fitbit® or a Louisiana crawfish dinner. For
