Hi Magda & Diana--

After equilibration, we've taken to removing taking the tubes out (two 
at a time) and tapping the sides of the cap to move the condensate to 
one side, then shaking it down.  There isn't much of a problem with the 
runs afterwards.  Alternatively, you may consider putting a blanket on 
top of the gasbench while it's equilibrating to see if that cuts down on 
condensation.

take care

gerry
