• The gases are quoted per kilogram with no cylinder arrangement stated — whether cylinders are supplied, exchanged or rented, and whether deposits or rental apply, is not published and is a substantial part of an industrial gas price.
• Hydrogen is a flammable gas; the notice states no purity grade, delivery or handling requirement for either gas.
• No purity grade is given for the nitrogen either, which matters for laboratory use.
• The pump lines are filed under a vacuum cleaners category rather than laboratory equipment.
