Dear friend,

I will be an colloborator on a large long-term project that involves
collection of numberous water samples for stable isotope analysis.  One
aspect involves collection of rain water by meteorlogical teams from
hurricanes when they come on shore.  I have heard that glass bottles
(250ml) are best for long-term storage of water for isotope analysis, but
it not might not be feasible for transporting samples by the hurricane
teams (+glass bottles are expensive).  Does any one of the you use plastic
bottles (at least for transport) and if so can you recommend a good brand?

Thank you very much,

Hal Karlsson
