For decades, gas chromatography has remained an integral analytical technique in many industries, including pharma, environmental testing, and the oil and refinery industries. Commonly used to separate and determine the concentrations of the components comprising complex mixtures, gas chromatography is one of the most widely utilized analytical methods in modern chemistry. Inherently, some higher density
October 15, 2021 Dear Valued Customer, Due to significant increases in the cost of our raw materials, labor costs, and freight/logistics costs, Halocarbon, LLC will be increasing the price of its Engineered Fluids products by 5% effective January 1, 2022. This increase applies to Halocarbon’s PCTFE and PFPE products. If you have any questions about
The coronavirus pandemic has drawn particular attention to effective vaccine storage, transportation, and distribution. In particular, the need to not allow for temperature excursions in the dissemination of COVID-19 vaccines has made pharmaceutical cold chain management a common term in public discourse. For decades, Halocarbon has been a trusted supplier of medical freezer calibration fluids,
With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to bombard hospitals with more and more cases, the need for medical ventilators has skyrocketed. These critical, life-saving machines, sometimes called mechanical respirators, are often necessary for patients struggling with a severe case of the coronavirus, and many hospitals are experiencing a shortage in ventilator availability with the influx of
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant spike in the demand for medical ventilators, sometimes referred to as mechanical respirators. As ventilator manufacturers rush to increase production quantities, the development of oxygen-safe fluids and greases for ventilator components becomes progressively important. These specialty greases and lubricants are essential in ventilator processing and application as they
With the seemingly insurmountable challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the surge in cases has created yet another obstacle–the shortage of medical oxygen. Though the essential gas itself is not experiencing scarcity, the overwhelming number of coronavirus cases, specifically in the United States, has been problematic in both the supply chain and hospital equipment capacity. As
