BIP® technology – The gas revolution in the laboratory

Cylinders with the unique Air Products BIP®technology system give the very highest purity levels for the most demanding laboratory applications.

  • Better analyses
    BIP® technology gives you gases that are up to 300 times purer than conventional carrier gases.
  • Lower costs
    Lower levels of oxygen and water significantly extend the working life of chromatography columns. You save on column replacement costs, and you get less downtime too.
  • Easy to switch to BIP® cylinders
    Just order BIP® gases in place of your usual cylinders. The cylinder sizes and piping connections are identical.

BIP® and BIP® Plus gas grade specifications:

BIP® gas Nitrogen Helium Argon Hydrogen
 O2 < 10 ppb < 10 ppb < 10 ppb < 100 ppb
 H2O < 20 ppb < 20 ppb < 20 ppb < 20 ppb
THC impurities < 100 ppb < 100 ppb < 100 ppb < 10 ppb
BIP® Plus gas Nitrogen Helium Argon Hydrogen
 O2 < 10 ppb < 10 ppb < 10 ppb < 100 ppb
 H2O < 20 ppb < 20 ppb < 20 ppb < 20 ppb
THC impurities < 50 ppb < 50 ppb < 50 ppb < 10 ppb
