Cool Convenience: Core Labs Enhances Liquid Nitrogen Dewer Fill-Ups

Starting on November 1st, 2023, requests for liquid nitrogen dewer fill-ups will be channeled through the iLab service request platform overseen by Core Labs. This transition streamlines the process, eliminates paperwork, and enhances efficiency. Researchers can now request liquid nitrogen with a few clicks and reduce administrative burdens. Order tracking features provide transparency on the status of requests. Moreover, this shift towards a paperless workflow contributes to a more sustainable research environment. Core Labs will ensure that the pursuit of liquid nitrogen remains unhindered.
