TECHNOLOGYPROFILE Air Liquide Advertorial Molecules that Matter Y ou might say that as a leading world supplier of specialty and industrial gases, Air Liquide is simply all about “molecules that matter.” Their technologies are carefully engineered to provide their customers with certain molecules in carefully measured quantities in the form of pure or mixed gases and liquids. These molecules are then sometimes used as raw materials or end products in themselves, as is often the case in healthcare and food processing. Other times, particularly when it comes to environmental monitoring, they are in turn used to measure or test for the presence of other molecules. However, focus at Air Liquide goes well beyond the refining, measuring and selling of molecules. About a third of the company’s product sales can be linked directly to applications that are helping to preserve our environment and ensure human safety. Other Air Liquide products and services involve helping customers keep pace with a changing global economy by empowering them to improve efficiencies without sacrificing end product quality or analytical accuracy. When it comes to compliance with environmental regulations, that can be critical. Team SCOTT at Air Liquide, formerly Scott Specialty Gases, maintains the world’s most extensive inventory of low-uncertainty Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) as well as NIST-Traceable Reference Materials (NTRMs). They are also the sole producer of gaseous SRM candidates for NIST. This specialized inventory, combined with scientific advancements in analytical technology, enable Team SCOTT to achieve strict linearity, sensitivity and reproducibility necessary to significantly reduce uncertainty of analysis when preparing SCOTT™ brand EPA protocol gases. Commitment to technology and innovation has kept Air Liquide at the forefront of the high-tech business of industrial and specialty gases for more than 100 years. Their presence of over 40,000 employees in 76 countries enables the company to combine the resources of a global enterprise with powerful, personalized service from local, customerfocused teams. It’s a winning formula that transforms “molecules that matter” into greater customer efficiency, growth and success – and a safer, cleaner environment for us all.
