Messer Canada’s Solutions for Laboratories

Messer Canada supplies ultra-high-purity gases, specialty mixtures, and advanced handling equipment to laboratories in research, education, clinical, and industrial fields. Our gases support applications from analytical testing and instrument calibration to diagnostics and advanced research, all produced under ISO 9001-certified standards for accuracy and reliability. With dedicated specialty gas plants in Edmonton and Whitby and 10 production sites across Canada, we ensure consistent supply, local availability, and quick turnaround times. From carrier gases like helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen to custom calibration blends and specialty mixtures, Messer delivers the precision and quality labs depend on.

Laboratory Gases

Air Grade 0.1

Synthetic Air is produced by mixing pure oxygen and pure nitrogen. This eliminates all kinds of impurities present in normal ambient air. Synthetic Air Grade Zero 0.1 is used as the oxidizer for flame ionization detectors in chromatography and total hydrocarbon detectors.

Argon ICP Grade

Part Number: 24064551
MFR # 8519

Argon is the gas of choice for Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) spectroscopy.

Helium Grade 5.0

The special properties of Helium gas are used in many industries and processes such as leak testing in pipelines and tanks and as an important component in shielding gases for welding.

Hydrogen Grade 5.0

High purity Hydrogen is used as a carrier and fuel gas in gas chromatography.

Bulk Gases

Messer supplies ultra-high-purity bulk gases for lab processes such as chromatography, calibration, and sample preservation. Our nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide ensure precise purging, inert blanketing, and temperature control, all backed by strict quality standards and reliable delivery.

Related Equipment

Beyond gases, Messer provides a complete suite of laboratory gas handling equipment to ensure safe and efficient gas storage, delivery, and monitoring. Our offering includes pressure regulators, flow controllers, automated switchover systems, gas generators, and Edwards vacuum pumps—a product line unique to Messer in Canada. Our Mississauga-based Equipment Center of Excellence stocks and assembles custom gas handling systems, allowing laboratories to optimize performance with tailored solutions.

Pressure Regulators

Regulator MESSER M2S Dual Stage, Stainless Steel

Messer M2S dual stage stainless steel regulators are intended for primary pressure control of ultra-high purity or corrosive gases for applications requiring constant pressure control and delivery regardless of supply pressure variations.

Regulator MESSER M2B Dual Stage, Brass

Messer M2B dual stage brass regulators are intended for primary pressure control of non-corrosive, high purity or liquefied gases for applications requiring constant pressure control and delivery regardless of supply pressure variations.

Regulator MESSER 2125651-10-510 Dual Stage, Brass – Acetylene

The 212 Series Regulators are intended for primary pressure control of non-corrosive, high purity or liquefied gases (up to Grade 4.5) for applications requiring constant pressure control and delivery, regardless of supply pressure variations.

Line Regulator MESSER MLB Single-Stage, Brass

Messer MLB brass line regulators are intended for secondary pressure control of non-corrosive, high purity or liquefied gases or as point of use pressure control in high purity gas distribution systems.

Edwards Vacuum

Rotary Vane Pump Edwards E2M18 – 115/200-230V, IEC 60320 Connector PFPE

Part Number: 11214877
MFR # A36325984

EM Series pumps are rugged, mechanical oil-sealed pumps in a compact and quiet design. They feature advanced lubrication circuits, high reliability, and accessories to suit your specific application needs.

Rotary Vane Pump Edwards E2M1.5 – 100-120V, IEC 60320 Connector

Part Number: 11188652
MFR # A37132902

EM Series pumps are rugged, mechanical oil-sealed pumps in a compact and quiet design. They feature advanced lubrication circuits, high reliability, and accessories to suit your specific application needs.

Dry Scroll Pump Edwards XDS 35i NGB Enhanced

Part Number: 11352833
MFR # A73001983

The Enhanced versions offer up to 20% lower peak power requirements during initial pump down which means it has the ability to pump down large volume chambers with no loss of performance and has up to 25% more pumping speed at these roughing pressures which helps on higher frequency cycling applications as well.

Dry Scroll Pump Edwards nXDS 10i

Part Number: 11253263
MFR # A73601983

The nXDS has taken scroll vacuum technology to the next level. Improved performance, exceptional pumping capability, quiet operation and extended service intervals make nXDS the ultimate dry choice.

Gas Generators

Generator Messer GC Zero Air GC600, Pure Air

Part Number: 11356088
MFR # DB-NGC6000-US

The GC Zero Air Generator produces dry and hydrocarbon-free air, using air from oil-free compressors, thus avoiding the need to use traditional bottles that are often complex to change.

Generator MESSER N2-TOWER 500, Nitrogen Gas

The new series of Nitrogen generator modules N2-Tower Plus produces high purity Nitrogen for all major applications in analytical laboratories.

Part Number: 11356087
MFR # DB-N2T-500-O-US

Generator MESSER NM-600 PLUS, Hydrogen Gas

The new NM-H2 Plus series hydrogen generators use the latest polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) technology to produce high purity hydrogen.

Part Number: 11340913
MFR # DB-PNM600-US PLUS
