Summary

Apparatus and a procedure are described for preparing nitrogen samples for spectrometric analysis. The apparatus is a modification of Rittenberg's with major changes being a break-seal for collecting the sample and a voltmeter-galvanometer complex for measuring the vacuum. Replicate samples with low contamination can be prepared rapidly.
