Laboratory R-32 — reliable difluoromethane for the lab bench
Laboratory R-32 from REAL GAZ is difluoromethane prepared for analytical and research environments, where small errors in composition show up directly in results. The gas is supplied in compact cylinders that fit standard fume cupboards and gas cabinets.
Water, air and heavier organics are controlled so the product behaves predictably in instruments and test cells.

REAL GAZ supports laboratories with gas handled according to ISO 17025 quality principles and ISO 6142 where gravimetric mixtures are requested, for analytical and teaching use.
Laboratory users often need only a few hundred grams over a year, so waste and storage space matter. We can fill compact cylinders, advise on regulator selection and propose a replacement schedule so that an unused cylinder does not sit in a corridor for years. For analytical work we can also prepare dilute mixtures of R-32 in nitrogen with certified concentrations, which are far easier to sample than the pure liquefied gas.
🏭 Where R-32 Is Used in Laboratories
- ⚙️ Gas chromatography — R-32 serves as a retention-time and response reference when analysing fluorinated compounds;
- 🔬 Leak-detector verification — laboratories check halogen and infrared leak detectors against a known R-32 atmosphere;
- 🏥 Refrigeration research — university groups study cycle efficiency, lubricant miscibility and material compatibility;
- 🚀 Student demonstrations — controlled experiments on phase change and pressure-temperature behaviour use small quantities.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ Bench-friendly sizes — small cylinders reduce stored volume and make delivery to lab buildings easier;
- 🧪 Known composition — documented purity supports uncertainty budgets and method validation;
- 🎯 Custom mixtures on request — R-32 can be blended in nitrogen or air at ppm level for detector calibration;
- 🔒 Careful packaging — cylinders arrive capped, labelled and protected against knocks;
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every cylinder, showing purity and certified values.
📊 Laboratory Use Notes
- Use a two-stage regulator suitable for liquefied flammable gases and check materials for compatibility;
- Install gas detection if storing more than a small cylinder in an enclosed room;
- Do not exceed manufacturer limits on withdrawal rate, as liquefied gas cools the cylinder during use;
- Mixtures in nitrogen stay gaseous at lower cylinder pressures and suit sampling lines;
- Record cylinder pressure and lot number in the instrument log for traceability.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- multi-stage purification before filling;
- precision gravimetric blending for mixtures;
- moisture and impurity analysis;
- leak testing and pressure integrity checks.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
