Hi Aimee,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy New Year to the network.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">At Ohio State, we are seeing major price
increases for our “6.0” gases year over year (2021 to 2022)
and it’s gone up again since December. We typically purchase
from Matheson but also do some business with Praxair (our bulk
LN2 is from Praxair so we have some buying power as we buy it
by the semi tanker load). <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The changes are as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ar increased 2x<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">O2 increased 2x<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He increased 4.5x<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have a solution for these? We
understand that everything is going up, but these are very big
changes. I know that some labs have He reclaim systems but we
don’t have nearly enough use to justify that type of
installation.<o:p></o:p></p>
