Nitrogen Uses for Phama, Lab and Medical Device Inudstries
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Device manufacturers use Nitrogen for a variety of processes. By cutting out the middleman gas company and generating nitrogen onsite, companies that rely on Nitrogen reduce supply chain risk, ensuring continuous access to high-purity nitrogen.
- Instrumentation
- Incubators/Cell Culture
- Gloveboxes/Hood Vents
The use of Nitrogen generators for medical equipment in the lab or hospital is a popular practice because of the increased safety, convenience, reliability, and ease of storage they offer compared to using high pressure cylinders.
- Pharmaceutical Packaging
- Product vessel/tank blanketing
Nitrogen gas is used to reduce the presence of oxygen in situations where combustion is a major concern. Blanketing or inerting an environment using N2 can stabilize materials that might otherwise prove harmful or even explosive when put in contact with oxygen.
- Medical Device 3D Printing
In order for additive manufacturing 3D printing to take place, an inert atmosphere must be created at the laser. Nitrogen gas is often injected at this juncture to reduce oxygen levels during production. Decreasing the oxygen rate within the process improves safety through the inerting of combustible dust; while also increasing product durability.
Cost Comparison
Traditionally, buying bulk liquid nitrogen has been the go-to solution for the Heat-Treating industry. With modern nitrogen generators dialed-in to meet the specific requirements of the heat treating industry, companies are recognizing the numerous benefits, including reducing operational expenses, and are making the switch.
