    The guys working on absorbers do know them quite well (i donīt know how they call it). Its just a glass bottle (cylindrical or tapered) with a tapered (sealing) rubber plug on top. But it could be any other container who can withstand negative pressure (e.g. gas cylinder). With glass its just easier to monitor the liquid level inside.

    What is a vacuum flask?
