Looking for a P-10 gas supplier

[Mr Jo <mjo@scs.unr.edu>]

We are having problem with our gas proportional counter. All electronics seem to
work fine and  we strongly suspect the cause is the new P-10 gas we received. Our
supplier gave us a new cylinder (different batch) but the problem still remains. The
problem of detector is we cannot obtain operating voltage plateau.

The gas we use is supplied by a local distributor but it originates from the Air
Gas, San Deandro, CA. The Air Gas company mixes their own gas and cannot reveal
their supplier. We do not have choices of other supplier here in Reno, NV. I used to
get the Linde gas products but they are no longer available here locally.

Those who are located in Northern CA, I will appreciate to know good P-10 gas
suppliers in N. CA area who will deliver to Reno, NV. Please e-mail me direct.
Thanks. M. Jo
