[labnetwork] semiconductor grade neon source and price?

[Kyle Keenan]

Hi Brian,

Unfortunately, I think that's the going rate. A year and a half ago, I paid
~$5200 for a size 35 cylinder that is 98% neon so, assuming yours is a size
300 cylinder, this is not that hard to believe. As I understand things, the
war in Ukraine is the main reason for the price hike.

Best,
Kyle
