The helium collapse accelerates.
All mass spec labs are about to go dark. Medical imaging, too, for those instruments that use helium.
My lab has a 1-year supply of helium in place, because I saw this coming and ordered my analysts to stock up in early March.
Apparently we got the last available "extra" helium in the supply chain.
Now it's scarcity and, soon, panic.
US helium distributors switch to “call for availability” on shortages. Most US helium has now been diverted to Taiwan on contracts signed two weeks ago.
Medical Imaging will now take you 6 months plus to schedule as hospitals shift to referrals outside for imaging.
