Once your lab location has been determined and you are ready to start receiving gas, your business manager will have to submit an updated version of their existing business manager survey to Michael Williams mwil34@lsuhsc.edu which includes information for your particular lab.  All business managers whose departments use gas are already familiar with the survey.  When someone new joins the department the business manager simply updates the existing form and submits it to Michael Williams.  

To place an order for gas, you’ll need to complete the gas requisition form and submit it to Patrick via fax or e-mail.  You’ll need to complete the gas requisition form EACH time an order is placed. No orders can be fulfilled without an accompanying requisition form.  For non specialty gases, an order submitted by 3 pm will be delivered the following business day.  Emergency/rush orders can be accommodated at an additional fee.  The emergency delivery charge is $150 for any gas delivered after 4:30pm, weekends and holidays.
