Description:
The report gives results of a laboratory evaluation to compare the storage stability of selected gases covering a range of compound categories, in three types of containers: glass bulbs and two different polymeric sample bags. The studies indicate that glass bulbs are the best overall choice, with no significant gas losses. Reactive and highly polar gases were preferentially lost from samples stored in the polymeric bags. Some contaminants were detected in the samples taken from the polymeric sample bags, presumably the result of outgassing from the materials used to construct the bags.
