When Good Gas Goes Bad: Gas Purifiers At Work
By Maggie Y. M. Lee and Lita Shon-Roy
Once obsessed with metallic impurity levels, reducing variations in the delivered gas purity has become the primary focus of contamination control engineers managing gas distributions systems. When used correctly at bulk sources or at the point-of-use, gas purifiers can remove harmful impurities down to the ppt range. .

CLEANROOM TIP OF THE WEEK

Advantages of Closed Vial Technology
 The closed vial technology is based on a vial that is provided clean and sterile with the stopper in place.
