🏢 Southern Laboratory & Industrial

Your Dedicated Source for
On-Site Gas Generation & Lab Infrastructure

We are an authorized distributor for LNI Swissgas, Nel Hydrogen, and NXT Power — bringing precision gas generation, water purification, and power protection to analytical laboratories and industrial facilities nationwide.

An Expert Partner, Not Just a Product Catalog

Southern Laboratory and Industrial was built around a straightforward premise: analytical laboratories and industrial facilities deserve a technically expert partner for on-site gas generation — not a remote catalog vendor who ships a box and moves on. The instruments we sell into require sizing, installation support, application knowledge, and ongoing service relationships. That’s what SLI provides.

We represent three best-in-class manufacturers whose products cover the full spectrum of laboratory and industrial gas needs: LNI Swissgas for precision benchtop generators, Nel Hydrogen for industrial PEM electrolyzers, and NXT Power for voltage conditioning and battery backup. Each brand was selected because it leads its category on performance, reliability, and manufacturer support — and because the combination covers every gas and power need a modern analytical or industrial facility is likely to have.

Our customers range from single-instrument university research labs and hospital clinical laboratories to multi-line analytical suites in contract research organizations, food and beverage production facilities, and large-scale industrial hydrogen consumers. Whatever the application — GC carrier gas, LC-MS nitrogen, GFAAS purge, or a fuel cell forklift fleet — the SLI portfolio has the right solution.

What You Get When You Work With Us

Being an authorized distributor means more than reselling products. It means delivering manufacturer-backed expertise and a service relationship that extends past the purchase order.

🔧

Application Engineering Before the Sale

We analyze your instrument list, flow requirements, and facility constraints before recommending a generator. You get a system sized for your actual usage — not the nearest catalog entry.

🤝

Direct Manufacturer Relationships

As authorized distributors, we have direct access to LNI Swissgas, Nel Hydrogen, and NXT Power application engineers and technical support teams. Complex issues escalate to the people who built the product.

📞

Responsive, Knowledgeable Support

When you call or email SLI, you reach someone who knows the products and the applications. Pre-sales consultation, instrument compatibility questions, and post-installation support — all from one contact.

📐

Right-Sized for Every Application

Our portfolio scales from an 80 VA power conditioner for a single analytical balance to a 1,140 SCF/h industrial electrolyzer for a fuel cell fleet depot. One partner, whatever your scale.

💰

Total Cost of Ownership Focus

We build the business case alongside you: cylinder cost analysis, payback period modeling, and long-term supply chain risk assessment. The goal is a decision you can defend to finance and operations.

🛡️

Post-Installation Support

Generator installation, commissioning, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting support backed by manufacturer resources. The relationship doesn’t end when equipment ships.
