ANSWER

Nitrogen cylinders are not recommended. When necessary, liquid nitrogen dewars are the best option. These may last several weeks depending on use.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Gas nitrogen cylinders will deplete in a day under regular use. However, for the short term (less than a day), a cylinder can be used if necessary.
