Pure Specialty Gases

Messer Canada’s Pure Specialty Gas Solutions

Messer Canada supplies a wide range of pure specialty gases for scientific research, laboratory analysis, and industrial quality control. Our portfolio includes argon for ICP instrumentation, carbon dioxide for extraction, helium for MRI cooling and carrier gas functions, hydrogen for fuel and analytical use, nitrogen for purging and calibration, and oxygen for research applications. Produced at ISO 9001-certified facilities with dedicated specialty gas plants in Edmonton and Whitby, Messer ensures fast delivery, reliable supply, and the highest purity standards to meet the needs of demanding industries.

Nitrogen Grade 5.0

Nitrogen Grade 5.0 is used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.

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.

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
