Argon in purity grades 4.5 to 6.0 for analytical instruments such as ICP-OES, ICP-MS and graphite furnace AAS, and for reactive metal processing.
Product Description
With its noble, non-reactive nature, argon is the key gas of analytical plasma instruments and sensitive production processes. For ICP, AAS and reactive-metal processing applications, gas purity and impurity levels may influence analytical background and operating conditions. Suitability should be assessed against the intended application and product specifications. We supply it in cylinders or bundles according to the purity grade recommended by your instrument manufacturer.

Usage Areas
Plasma gas for ICP-OES and ICP-MS
Shielding gas for graphite furnace AAS (GF-AAS)
Inert process atmosphere in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing
Precision TIG welding and heat treatment of titanium and reactive metals
Supply and Storage Models
1. High-Pressure Cylinders
Supplied in cylinders suitable for high purity gas service, for the daily consumption of laboratories, R&D centres and analytical instruments. The purity grade and cylinder type are defined together according to your needs.
2. Cylinder Bundle Systems
Manifold-connected cylinder bundle systems may be considered for high gas consumption facilities in terms of flow rate, pressure, and cylinder replacement planning. Suitable capacity and backup requirements should be determined for each project.
Safety Standard
Technical Warning and Safety Standard: Argon is not toxic, but it displaces oxygen and creates a risk of asphyxiation in confined spaces. Cylinders must be stored upright, secured and in well-ventilated areas; to maintain high purity, only clean and suitable regulators and line components should be used.
