Why is Nitrogen So Important? Pharmaceutical manufacturers depend on nitrogen (N2), an abundant, inert gas that makes up 78% of the air we breathe, for many essential processes, including mixing raw materials, cryogenic grinding with liquid nitrogen to produce ultra-fine particles, and purging oxygen from packaging, thereby protecting product stability, extending shelf life, and ensuring […]
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment is a diagnostic tool used in healthcare facilities. While most MRI safety focuses on magnetic field hazards, helium leaks present a less visible risk to both personnel and equipment. Liquid helium is necessary for MRI operation, but when released into an enclosed MRI suite, it can rapidly displace oxygen, creating […]
Introduction Oxygen Depletion, also known as oxygen deficiency, is a serious safety issue that occurs when the oxygen concentration in an environment falls below the level necessary to sustain human life. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines an environment where oxygen levels fall below 19.5% as an oxygen-deficient atmosphere, which should be treated […]
Understanding Oxygen Deficiency The air we breathe is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen. The oxygen level in the air we breathe is approximately 20.9%. A drop in oxygen levels below this percentage indicates an oxygen-depleted environment that poses significant health and […]
Metal 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, provides for the creation of complex metal parts by layering metal powders and, depending on the application, selectively sintering, fusing, or melting the powders using a high-powered laser or electron beam. This process offers numerous advantages over traditional manufacturing methods, including reduced waste, increased design freedom to […]
PureAire Monitoring Systems is excited to announce the launch of our latest offering—the PureAire CloudConnect module, which provides for internet connectivity (with Cloud storage capabilities) for our full line of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Monitors, as well as our Toxic and LEL Combustible Gas Detectors. Our new CloudConnect module will send continuous gas concentration data […]
What is a Biorepository? A biorepository, or “biobank”, is a specialized facility designed to store, archive, and distribute biological samples for research or clinical purposes. Biorepositories house biological samples, such as blood, plasma, urine, saliva, tissues, DNA, and organs, among other specimen types, collected from consenting individuals. Critical associated information, including relevant health information about […]
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 48.3 million procedures were performed at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers in the United States in 2010. Healthcare providers and patient advocates understand that infection prevention requires meticulous sanitation and sterilization of all facilities, equipment, and instruments used in surgery settings. According to the World Health […]
PureAire Monitoring Systems is proud to note the completion of our 26thyear in the Gas Detection business. Our journey began on January 14, 1997, with three employees working out of a spare bedroom in our founder’s home. Our mission from the beginning was, and remains, quite simple: keep people safe, by providing high-quality, accurate, and reliable […]
To create that perfect glass of wine, refreshing sip of water, or other non-carbonated drinks of choice, beverage producers often turn to liquid nitrogen (LN2). Liquid nitrogen fills an important role in the bottling and canning of non-carbonated beverages. What is Liquid Nitrogen? Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic, liquefied form of nitrogen (N). Nitrogen is […]

Lithium-Ion Batteries Rechargeable lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries (comprised of cells in which lithium ions move from a negative electrode through an electrolyte to a positive electrode during discharge—and the other way around when charging) were first described conceptually in the 1970s. Following initial prototype development in the 1980s, li-ion batteries became commercially viable in subsequent decades, […]
