analyze and discover
America is the world's leading innovator, and Airgas enables U.S. scientists, researchers and cutting-edge companies to discover the next breakthrough. Our customers include life science researchers and biopharmaceutical companies searching for the next cure … oil and gas drillers trying to find new sources of fuel from the earth … and smokestack operations looking for surefire ways to verify that their emissions are within regulations. With our help, they are spawning countless new medical discoveries, transforming the U.S. from a large net importer of energy to a soon-to-be major exporter, and producing goods and services for millions of people in an environmentally safe and sustainable way.
Investment in MicroBulk Trucks
Last year, we invested in the expansion of our fleet of MicroBulk trucks, many of which are used to transport argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen to labs, universities and research centers for testing applications.

Growing Together with Our Research, Exploration and Analysis Customers
It all comes down to reliability and repeatability. A cryogenic lab counts on an uninterrupted supply of our ultra-low temperature gases to keep its research samples safe. A natural gas pipeline operation needs to know our calibration gases will measure the exact BTUs of energy flowing into their pipelines, and power plants demand the same precision from our EPA protocol gases that measure their emissions. We continue to develop solutions for these critical applications. Our AcuGrav® gas mixing system delivers automated high-tolerance specialty gas mixtures and removes the inconsistency associated with human error. Our new specialty gas facility in Tooele, UT, increases our capacity to provide complex gas mixtures to customers in the West. And sales of our emission standard EPA protocol gases continue to climb because customers trust the reliability and repeatability of the mixtures.
