Liquid nitrogen is a hazard because of the extremely low
temperatures and high pressures that may occur in improperly
designed supply systems.
Liquid nitrogen can present an asphyxiation hazard if vaporizing
nitrogen displaces oxygen in the air. Consult local suppliers for
safety precautions and design information.
See the Intuvo 9000 GC, GC/MS, and ALS Site Preparation Guide
for important requirements for tubing.
