CalOx highlights the Global Oxygen Alliance (GO2AL), a partnership working to bridge the gap in medical oxygen access worldwide. Learn about the vital role of medical oxygen therapy and how GO2AL aims to ensure its availability, with CalOx as a dedicated ally in this mission.

A recent study from the University of Gothenburg highlights the success of combining curettage and cryosurgery as a safe and efficient treatment for basal cell carcinoma, the most prevalent form of skin cancer. This method, utilizing liquid nitrogen, demonstrates impressive results in a cost-effective manner. Learn how CalOx can supply essential gasses for this cutting-edge treatment.

CalOx highlights a groundbreaking study that investigates the impact of cryostimulation (using liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature to sub-zero levels) on metabolic health. Discover how exposure to extreme cold could lead to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, offering new insights into managing obesity and related conditions.

One company is currently working to automate the identification and storage processes for eggs and embryos frozen with liquid nitrogen, and we at CalOx think that’s pretty incredible. The team at TMRW is using new technology to identify specimens, and automated software to create a digital chain of custody that will prevent embryos from being misidentified.

A recent study found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT, has a significant impact on the cognitive and behavioral function of 8-to-15-year-old children experiencing persistent post-concussion syndrome. As a medical-grade O2 distributor, CalOx is proud to help make breakthroughs like this possible.

Japanese start-up Iwaya Giken recently announced a project more than 10 years in the making–a helium-powered spacecraft that aims to make space tourism more accessible. At CalOx, we’re inspired by this innovative use of helium gas.

As a top supplier of liquid nitrogen in the Los Angeles area, we at CalOx want to recognize the work of Washington State university researchers who utilized it in a super innovative way – to remove moon dust from spacesuits and equipment.

Did you know there are now more than 20 types of water? And that the ice in our freezers isn’t the only kind that exists? Researchers recently discovered a new ice that was created using liquid nitrogen. As liquid nitrogen suppliers, we at CalOx think this research is pretty amazing.

As the war in Ukraine rages on, its citizens are facing a critical oxygen shortage. The WHO and USAID have sent, but delivery difficulties persist. As a reliable supplier of oxygen, CalOx stands with those who are suffering as a result of the shortage.

As a reliable supplier of CO2, CalOx is excited to see where the future of carbon will take us. That’s why we were chuffed to learn about an innovative new partnership between two major energy suppliers, Energie 360° and TES, which are teaming up to create synthetic methane using green hydrogen and CO2.
