Explanation:
the fact that it's a nitrogen atmosphere rather than an argon atmosphere is irrelevant here: "inert atmosphere" is a general term that can cover all manner of inert blanket gases.

Explanation:
Hi,
They are talking about what you need to purge with nitrogen so that the medium is inert. Usually we just say "performed under nitrogen" and don't use "atmosphere". It's sometimes called a nitrogen blanket too. I'd probably recast and say something like 'Tubing and needles for the nitrogen purge and a 0.2 gas filter.'

neutral  Nigel Wheatley: without more context of the procedure, I would be wary of calling it a simple nitrogen "purge", which might be ambiguous. We might not say "nitrogen atmosphere", but we certainly do use "inert atmosphere" as a general term.
