The local gas processing plant in Pittsburg, Calif., which is shared by both Airgas USA and Linde Gas & Equipment Inc., is currently undergoing repairs. This plant serves Central California and therefore UCSF’s orders of non-medical liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen may be delayed.

Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. is an alternative local supplier that is not affected by the Pittsburg plant issue, and already provides a variety of gases to UCSF researchers. If your lab is concerned about supply interruptions please reach out to Matheson. 

If you have any questions, please contact Dean Shehu, Research Sourcing Manager | UCSF Supply Chain Management: [email protected].
