Dear colleagues,
Because of the helium shortage, our cryogen supplier Praxair recently
encouraged us to sign an allocation agreement with them. Basically, we are
to only purchase liquid helium from them for the next year or two and we
will probably receive less helium and experience delays. Our lawyers have
looked into this and discouraged us to sign the form. I was wondering if
your institution has signed an allocation agreement with your cryogen
supplier or decide to "ride the storm."
Please advise.
