What do people store bromine in?

To store bromine you can either seal it in a reagent-grade glassampull and fuse it together with a blowtorch, or in a brown medicinbottle with a teflonfilled cap. The glassampull will become brittle over time and may shatter very easily so it is wise to restore it after a year or so. The medicinbottle will most likely be unable to keep the bromine over time, as the bromine vapors eventually will find a way true the cap, so it could be an idea to store the bottle in a second glasscontainer, that way you can simply change the tefloncap if you see bromine-containment in the second container. When they ship bromine the use a stainless steel container with a leadseal.
