Yes Jim, they both use Nalgene bottles.  Nalgene seems to be 
an "industry" standard.  The bottles are guaranteed leak proof when 
transporting liquids and are primarily aimed at the scientific 
community for storing/transporting potentially hazardous samples.

I'm not sure who makes the CFS tubing.  The CIS tubing is certainly 
more flexible and has Tygon R-3603 written on it.  I don't recall who 
makes it.  If you do a search of the archives going a couple of 
months back, you'll find a post from (I think) Peter Marquis-Kyle 
telling us who makes the tubing.

Having had a quick look at medical/scientific supplier sites, the 
tubing is usually sold in singles.  I wonder if the CIS/CFS makers 
are getting custom made to get 4 and 6 tubes together.
