A triple point cell comprising: 1) An outer vessel and an inner vessel; 2) an elastomeric stopper that fits inside the open end of the outer vessel; the elastomeric stopper has two holes, one through which the inner vessel is tightly fitted, and a second through which unwanted gasses is allowed to escape; 3) water in the volume between the outer and inner vessels. 4) a vent plug for plugging up the second hole after all the unwanted gases has been driven out of the triple point cell by water vapor that has been generated by boiling the water. Triple point is reached by freezing some of the water in the cell, and then letting the ice, water, and water vapor come to thermal equilibrium.
