Liquid Helium

High-purity gas contains extremely low levels of impurities, making it ideal for sensitive and precision-driven applications. The quality of a gas is measured by its purity grade, typically indicated with the letter “N” to show the number of nines in its composition (e.g., N5.0 = 99.999%).
Common Uses for High-Purity Gases Include:
Semiconductor manufacturing
Carrier gas in gas chromatography and mass spectrometry
Laboratory and analytical research
Filling weather balloons
Cooling in fibre optic production
Photovoltaic cell (solar panel) manufacturing
