Sample Bottles and Caps

Guaranteed performance and consistency are of central importance in all areas of analytical chemistry, but especially in chromatography and spectroscopy. In order to meet these requirements, sample preparation must be adapted to the individual test conditions. A key component of this is the appropriate choice of sample vials for the storage and transport of chemical substances.

The following overview provides a detailed classification of different sample types and suitable sample vials. The types of vials presented can be found at all common manufacturers. Examples include Agilent, Waters and Restek. A distinction must also be made between GC and HPLC vials with flat, round or conical bottoms. The neck of the vial is also variable. Common variants are vials with a headspace rim or DIN rolled rim as well as threaded and short threaded vials.
