Exploring Vial Materials
Optimize lab efficiency and safety by choosing the right vial material and cap liner combination.
Borosilicate Glass
Amber Glass
Polypropylene
Silanized Glass
Various glass vial materials meet the demands of diverse laboratory and industrial applications.
There are several key considerations to keep in mind when choosing the right vial material for your application.
Chemical Resistance
Vial materials vary in their ability to resist acids, bases, and solvents, protecting both the sample and vial.
Thermal Stability
Some materials can withstand extreme temperature changes without degradation.
UV Protection
Some glass vials shield light-sensitive substances from harmful UV exposure.
Surface Reactivity
Vial materials can reduce surface reactivity, preventing contamination and preserving integrity.
Mechanical Strength
Durable materials resist physical damage during handling and transport.
Choosing the right disposable vials depends on your laboratory’s specific needs.
Disposable vials offer unmatched convenience and sterility for single-use applications, eliminating the need for cleaning and sterilization. Ideal for sensitive or high-throughput environments, these vials ensure contamination prevention and sample integrity. Available in various materials such as glass and polypropylene, disposable vials cater to a wide range of laboratory needs, from chemical analysis to diagnostic testing. With pre-sterilized options and a variety of sizes, they support efficiency and safety, providing an optimal solution for laboratories focused on accuracy and productivity.
Polypropylene vials with high-performance septa provide secure sealing and maintain sample integrity across critical applications.
Polypropylene vials are durable, chemical-resistant containers ideal for a range of applications, including LC-MS, cryogenic storage, and chemical analysis. Their unbreakable nature and low adsorption rates preserve sample integrity, making them suitable for sensitive research. When paired with high-performance septa, they ensure secure sealing and reliable performance, even in challenging environments.
FAQs About Silanized Vials
Silanization creates a hydrophobic, inert surface on glass vials to prevent sample interaction, reducing adsorption and contamination.
Yes, their chemically inert surface makes them suitable for volatile and sensitive compounds, ensuring sample integrity.
Silanized vials come in sizes ranging from 1 mL to 20 mL, with options for screw-top, crimp-top, and headspace designs.
While resistant to many substances, silanized vials may not withstand extreme pH or highly reactive chemicals over extended periods.
Store silanized vials in a clean, dust-free environment to maintain their performance and protect the silane coating.
