AT SOUTH SUPPLIES & LOGISTICS WE OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF GASSES USED IN THE MEDICINE SECTOR
High purity medical gasses and specific mixtures for calibration and use in laboratories, medicines and medical devices.
Application of N2 on the body to treat different conditions.
Its effects on the body are vasoconstriction, analgesia and anesthesia.
Process with the use of N2 by which cells or tissues are frozen at very low temperatures. At low temperatures, between -80ºC and -196ºC, any biological activity is stopped.
A typical pulmonary function gas is made up of a mixture of carbon monoxide whose balance is oxygen and nitrogen. Carbon monoxide is used to test the transfer functionality of the lungs, and helium helps determine lung volume.
Calibration gases are essential to ensure the accuracy of medical devices that are a crucial part of modern healthcare.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a slightly acidic, non-flammable, odourless and colourless liquefied gas. CO2 is heavier than air and is soluble in water. It is kept as a cryogenic liquid and we supply it in iso tanks.
Applications: The use of carbon dioxide is widespread in a wide variety of sectors, such as
Food, carbonated beverages, beverage gasification, packaging, refrigeration and freezing, deburring and grinding, neutralization, metal processing applications, catering Medicine: metabolic mixtures. Cellular plastics: supercritical fluid extraction

Helium is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. The density and viscosity of the helium vapor are very low. The thermal conductivity and caloric content are exceptionally high. Helium can be liquefied, but its condensation temperature is the lowest of any known substance.
Applications: Helium plays a key role in a large number of industries and applications, including MRI scanners, NMR, semiconductors, fiber optic cables, scientific research, airbag manufacturing, leak detection and treatment surface thermal, balloons.

Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless gas, forming part of the atmospheric air at 78.09 % Vol. Nitrogen is also found in proteins, in organic and inorganic compounds and in natural hydrocarbon deposits.
Applications: Nitrogen is non-reactive and excellent for coatings and is often used as a purge gas. Two thirds of the nitrogen produced by the industry is sold as a gas and the remaining third as a liquid.
Nitrogen gas is primarily used to create an inert atmosphere when oxygen in the air can lead to a fire, explosion or cause oxidation. Some examples include:
Food industry, light bulb industry, fire extinguishing systems, stainless steel manufacturing, tire filling, aircraft fuel systems, chemical analysis and chemical industry, pressurized beer kegs

Oxygen is a highly reactive chemical, capable of forming compounds with almost all known elements except noble gases.
Applications: Oxygen has enormous applications in human industries, such as:
Medical uses. Oxygen is used as a breathing gas in the life support of surgical patients and as therapy (oxygen therapy) for patients with heart and lung conditions, etc.
Life support. In space missions, submarines and similar, low pressure gaseous oxygen is used as a breathing gas, to sustain the habitability levels of suits, ships and cabins.
Industrial uses. for the production of iron alloys such as steel. In the chemical industry, for the manufacture of numerous textile materials and plastics. Finally, oxygen is also used to burn acetylene and to make torches capable of cutting metal very quickly.
Fuels and purifiers. Oxygen is also used to oxidize rocket fuel, for waste water treatment or, as ozone (O3) for water purifiers.

Compressed air refers to an application of techniques that makes use of air that has been put under pressure by means of a compressor. In most applications, the air is not only compressed but also moisture is removed and filtered.
Applications: The use of compressed air is very common in the industry. It is used for powering pneumatic production equipment, air lathe chucks, pressure cleaning parts, and transporting or cooling components during production.
It is also used in the following sectors: Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, aeration and agitation, electronics and semiconductors, and breathable medical air.
