    Storeroom Order Delivery

    Storeroom orders are received and processed online via a requisition in the PORT system to the designated vendor, ECU Medical Supplies. The department will be notified if any items are on extended back order. Please contact the Central Receiving and Stores at 328-9941 for assistance.

    Gas Cylinder Orders and Related Medical or Specialty Gas Services

    Departments needing gas cylinders for medical or specialty type gas will order through Airgas USA or Arc3 Gases (gases state term contract vendors). Each department will place their gas orders with Airgas, using an ECU pro card, through the Airgas website. Each department will need to set up a new account in order to log in to the Airgas website. To set up a new Airgas account, please contact the local Airgas store at csgreenville@airgas.com. Please also use this Airgas email address to inquire about billing or delivery questions. Once a department places an order, Airgas will deliver the gas to that building and/or location. Central Stores and Receiving will not be responsible for lost or missing tanks. It is the department’s responsibility to maintain tank inventory, manage their own billing and paying for gases, tank rentals, etc. for their respective departments.

    Liquid nitrogen and ethyl alcohol can be ordered by departments in PORT.
