Clemente:

For a few years now we have been using Labco's 6mL round bottomed vials
with excellent results for carbonates. They are on their site under "Gas &
Liquid Testing". Also, they are supplied with white caps but we have found
from experience that the blue caps are more reliable and are worth the
extra expense.
