Laboratory N₂O Gas Cylinder — small-format cylinders for analytical benches
A laboratory N₂O gas cylinder must be easy to move, simple to secure and clearly documented. REAL GAZ fills nitrous oxide in 10 and 20 litre cylinders as the standard choice for instrument rooms, with other sizes available on request.
Each unit carries a label showing gas name, grade, net content and batch number.

Cylinders are tested to EN 1968, closed with valves conforming to EN ISO 10297 and filled with gas verified under ISO 17025 methods, for laboratory and industrial rooms.
Space is limited in most instrument rooms, which is why laboratory cylinders are narrower and lighter than industrial ones. Even so, a full 10 litre cylinder holds around 6.5 kg of liquid nitrous oxide, giving a sizeable reserve of gas. Plan the weight on trolleys and floors, and always use two hands and proper footwear when moving a cylinder.
🏭 Where N₂O Cylinders Are Used
- ⚙️ Atomic absorption rooms — one cylinder sits in a ventilated cabinet beside the spectrometer;
- 🔬 Environmental testing — water and soil laboratories use N₂O flames for silicon and aluminium determination;
- 🏥 Pharmaceutical quality labs — elemental impurity checks sometimes require the hotter flame for certain analytes;
- 🚀 Academic research — small cylinders let research groups run short projects without bulk contracts.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ Right-sized — 10 litre cylinders weigh less and are easier to replace safely;
- 🧪 Cabinet ready — compact base diameter fits standard laboratory gas cabinets;
- 🎯 Clean delivery — valves are capped and cylinders wrapped to limit contamination in transit;
- 🔒 Exchange service — swap your empty cylinder for a full one on a regular visit;
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every order.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- internal inspection and cleaning before every refill;
- verification of valve outlet and thread condition;
- filling by weight with tolerance checks;
- leak test and cap fitting.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
🔧 Setting Up in the Lab
- secure with a bench clamp or wall chain at two points;
- use a dedicated N₂O regulator with a stainless steel diaphragm;
- install a flashback arrestor between the cylinder and burner where the method requires it;
- keep the room ventilated and avoid storage near heat sources.
A simple logbook beside the cylinder helps teams detect a slow leak early. Record the date, the cylinder weight if you have a scale and the supply pressure at the start of each working week. A steady fall in weight without matching use is a sign to check joints with a suitable leak detection fluid, and our service line can help you trace the problem.
