6.4 Gassing 

Installation 

6.4.1 

StoreX Gassing Options 

The StoreX series supports a wide selection of gassing options. Typical 
properties of some commonly used options are described next. There are other 
gassing options available. Note that each gassing option is linked to specific risks 
and hazards. It is important to be fully informed about any specific application 
before installing the instrument or even running any application. 

6.4.2 Safety 

Information 

General 

Commonly used in research medicine are inert gases like: Nitrogen, Argon, 
Helium and Carbon Dioxide. Inert gases are used mainly to create and maintain 
inert atmospheres for an application or process. The above gases, which 
generally don't react with other materials, displace oxygen in order to maintain an 
inert, contaminant free atmosphere.  

In their liquid form these gases are very cold, (the boiling point of liquid nitrogen 
is -196° C) . Such cold liquids are known as cryogenic liquids, (from the Greek, 
kryos meaning frost and gene meaning producing). 

Major hazards 

There are some major hazards associated with these gases 

WARNING ! 

 

Inert gases are asphyxiates and will displace oxygen to produce localized 
oxygen deficient atmospheres 

 

Inert gases are odorless, colorless and tasteless 

 
 

 

 

Inert gases give no warning and may cause death in few seconds 

 
Oxygen is the only gas, which supports life. The normal concentration in the air 
that we breathe is approximately 21%. If the oxygen concentration in air 
diminishes or, (what amounts to the same) if the concentration of inert gases 
increases, a situation is rapidly reached where the hazards of asphyxia become 
very great.  

The danger occurs as soon as the oxygen levels are lower  than 16%. Inert 
gases are odorless, colorless and tasteless and are therefore a great deal more 
dangerous than other gases such as chlorine, ammonia, or hydrogen sulfide, 
which can be detected by their odor, at very low concentrations. The asphyxiating 
effect of inert gases occurs without any preceding physiological signals which 
could alert the victim. It takes place  very rapidly: just a few dozen seconds with 
very low oxygen content. Stated clearly "you do not notice that you are passing 
out!" 

The danger from the inert gases such as nitrogen, argon, helium, etc cannot be  
stressed enough!! . Especially in this case of Asphyxia as there are no warning 
signs. People also vary considerably in their reactions to oxygen deficiency.
