South-Tek Partners with Ming-Mei for IVF Equipment Solution in Asia

South-Tek Systems announces exclusive partnership with Ming-Mei to provide nitrogen generators with state-of-the-art IVF equipment throughout Asia.

Wilmington, N.C., July 17, 2009 - South-Tek Systems teams up with Asian company Ming-Mei to provide nitrogen generators for Ming-Mei's state-of-the-art in vitro fertilization (IVF) equipment throughout Asia. This exclusive partnership will benefit the end user in terms of being cost effective, reliable, safe, and convenient.

Incubators in which embryos are cultured during IVF require keeping the oxygen content to only 5%, as opposed to the 20% that is naturally present in air. To ensure that the oxygen level is kept to 5%, a constant stream of pure nitrogen gas must be introduced and maintained in the incubator at a carefully controlled rate. A nitrogen generator ensures that the proper level of N2 gas is maintained and is available on demand as necessary. This is the most optimal way to provide the nitrogen gas necessary for successful IVF treatments.

The South-Tek Systems partnership with Ming-Mei in Asia provides the benefits of decreasing incubator nitrogen gas costs significantly; eliminating N2 gas cylinder refills; ensuring that the incubator is never without the correct supply of nitrogen; increasing the level of convenience for IVF labs; and allowing labs to produce nitrogen gas on-site and on demand.

South-Tek Systems co-founder Charles Metzler is excited to extend the reach of their product throughout Asia with the Ming-Mei partnership: "South-Tek believes in the quality and integrity of our nitrogen generators, especially for applications as sensitive as in vitro fertilization. Our new partnership with Ming-Mei pairs the reliability and convenience of our nitrogen generators with the advanced, state-of-the-art technology that Ming-Mei offers and reaches to their extensive IVF market in Asia."

South-Tek Systems specializes in engineering and manufacturing nitrogen generators and the N2 Series Generators for use in a wide variety of applications worldwide including industrial, military, laboratory, and process applications. Ming-Mei is a leading manufacturer and supplier of IVF equipment in Asia and offers a broad range of products and technical expertise.

Remembering our Troops This Independence Day Holiday

South-Tek Systems would like to take time to remember our troops on this 4th of July Holiday. South-Tek has the unique opportunity to be a part of maintenance activities in the field, and it reminds us every day of the sacrifices that fighting men and women make for our country.

So while we celebrate the birth of our great nation and the democracy and liberty we enjoy every day, we take time out to appreciate all those who have fought for our freedom and those troops who are fighting today to uphold the freedom and justice of the United State of America.

Thank you and Happy Independence Day!

Pay ONLY for the gas you use with a Nitrogen Generator

Are you paying only for the N2 gas you need and use for production, manufacturing, storage, lab use, etc. or are you also paying extra for gas that's lost to evaporation during delivery and storage in the tank?




It is a fact that a portion of Nitrogen gas delivered and stored in tanks on-site will evaporate and be lost for good before you get a chance to use it. This results in greater costs for you since you will have to purchase more N2 gas than you will actually use in order to account for the supply that's lost to evaporation.

Investing in a Nitrogen Generator for your production and manufacturing facility makes so much sense because it eliminates the extra costs associated with gas lost to evaporation during the storage period. Produce only the N2 gas you need, when you need it, and at the flow rate you require using a Nitrogen Generator on-site.

South-Tek Systems is dedicated to engineering and manufacturing Nitrogen Generators for military, industrial, processing, and lab use (and more!). We can supply a Nitrogen Generator that is ideal for your specific application and flow rate using our Flow Verification Program to ensure that the size and N2 gas output is appropriate for your use.

Nitrogen Use with Selective Soldering

South-Tek Systems recently announced a partnership with Juki Automation Systems to supply the N2 gas generating equipment for Juki's selective soldering machines.

In January, 2009, we did a blog post explaining how Nitrogen gas is involved with electronics manufacturing and, in particular, selective soldering machines. This seems like a great time to re-visit that post and provide some context into how our partnership with Juki in this field will benefit the end user as a cost effective and efficient solution.

See: Electronics Manufacturing with A Nitrogen Generator

As the supplier of Nitrogen gas generating equipment for Juki's selective soldering machines, South-Tek Systems helps users receive a complete package with their FlexSolder W150 or Juki 350 models. They will not have to source their own Nitrogen gas from suppliers, paying for delivery and storage, relying on the gas company for accuracy and dependability. Users will have a steady supply of N2 gas at the ready with the Nitrogen Generator supplied with the selective soldering machine. They will not face exorbitant costs from the gas company or risk running out of gas at any point.

A Nitrogen Generator is a safe, reliable, and cost efficient solution for generating the Nitrogen gas necessary for manufacturing and production applications, including electronics manufacturing. We are excited about our partnership with Juki and are confident that the end user will receive the greatest benefit.

Nitrogen Generators in the Laboratory

Nitrogen is used to control oxygen levels, humidity and temperature in a variety of lab equipment, including cell incubators, dry boxes, glove boxes, mass spectrometers and IVF incubators.

The necessity of constantly maintaining the atmosphere in these types of equipment requires large amounts of Nitrogen, which is easily obtained because of its large concentration in air. Providing it via tanks and bottles of liquid Nitrogen can be problematic, however, because of hazardous storage requirements, delivery delays, and run outs. The tanks and bottles are also heavy, making them difficult for lab personnel to handle.

A PSA Nitrogen Generator can provide the needed supplies of gas at purities up to 99.9995%, and at drastically reduced cost. In addition, the generator itself can be installed in a basement or corner of a room, with feed lines running to the equipment, even if it is located on multiple floors.

South-Tek Systems can engineer a Nitrogen Generator specifically for your laboratory application. Visit our website for pricing and additional information.
