Hi everyone,
I can confirm: Airgas has been unable to deliver our liquid Helium this week. They cannot warranty they will deliver it to us next week. The pressure is up!
We are trying to get our liquid Helium from Praxair, but our legal advisors are not satisfied with Praxair's contract…Quite a headache to tell you the truth, and our liquid Helium levels are down to 50%.
Good luck…
Best Regards,
Hélène

Subject: AMMRL: Emergency Helium Suppliers
Dear Helium Users,
It looks like helium shortage is having a serious impact on some of us. Do you have emergency liquid helium suppliers in the case that your regular providers cannot provide the minimum amount to keep the magnets up and running? Your inputs are appreciated.
Cheers,
Jerry
