Air Products' BIP Argon delivers point-of-use purification down to single-digit ppb impurity levels, giving GC and ICP labs the baseline stability, sensitivity, and equipment protection of an external purifier, without needing one.

Air Products' BIP Argon delivers ultra-high purity gas with an integrated purification system that removes critical impurities, including oxygen, moisture, and hydrocarbons at the point of use. Originally developed for demanding analytical techniques such as Gas Chromatography (GC) and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectroscopy, BIP® Argon helps improve baseline stability, enhance sensitivity, reduce maintenance requirements, and protect valuable analytical equipment. With impurity levels as low as 10 ppb oxygen, 20 ppb moisture, and 10 ppb total hydrocarbons, BIP® Argon eliminates the need for external purifiers while providing reliable, reproducible performance for laboratories, research facilities, and high-technology manufacturing environments.
