Evidence of a systematic deviation of the isotopic composition of neon from commercial sources compared with its isotopic composition in air.

Results are reported of a study concerning the variation in isotopic composition of a limited number of neon samples of commercial origin and the resulting influence on the temperature of the triple point of this element. All seven neon samples investigated were found to contain more 22Ne than neon in air, and the amount fraction of 22Ne varied by as much as 0.2% from sample to sample.
