Does a brand new CO2 cylinder need to be purged with CO2 on first fill?

I understand the question. I believe you're asking this because when you buy a brand new propane tank and have it filled, they do some little purge test thing, mainly I think to purge air and moisture inside the tank.
I don't think they do that with CO2 maybe because its non-flammable?

Propane is also a liquid when stored under pressure in a tank.
A good shop will pull a vacuum on a completely empty tank before filling it with gas (CO2, Ar, He, N2, etc).
