Maintaining sample integrity through high-purity laboratory glass vials is critical for accurate analytical results in laboratory and industrial settings. As part of our laboratory supplies and fixtures range, we provide technical containment solutions from authorities like Environmental Express and Kinesis. These vessels are engineered to meet strict chemical resistance standards, supporting applications from routine storage to high-sensitivity chromatography.
Laboratory vials
High-Purity Laboratory Glass Vials for Chromatography and Sampling
Our curated collection of vials delivers consistent performance and chemical inertness for demanding technical environments:
- Certified Environmental Storage: Deploy Environmental Express EPA and VOC vials, designed to meet regulatory cleanliness standards for water, soil, and air analysis.
- Precision Chromatography Compatibility: Instruments and consumables from Kinesis ensure seamless integration with major autosamplers, featuring narrow dimensional tolerances for reliable injections.
- Durable Material Construction: High-grade borosilicate 3.3 glass provides exceptional thermal stability and resistance to aggressive reagents in pathology and industrial diagnostics.
How to Choose the Right Laboratory Glass Vials
Selecting the correct sample containment for your facility requires evaluating several technical parameters:
- Closure Type and Sealing: Evaluate whether your workflow requires the convenience of screw caps for manual handling or the airtight security of crimp neck vials for volatile samples.
- Material Chemical Resistance: Verify if your specific reagents require Type I borosilicate glass for high chemical inertness or specialized polymers for metal-sensitive analyses.
- Septum Compatibility: Assess the chemical resistance of PTFE, Silicone, or Rubber septa to ensure seals remain intact without introducing contaminants into the sample matrix.
Complete Your Scientific Workflow Configuration
Comprehensive facility management relies on integrated consumables. To further optimise your workspace, explore these related categories:
- Laboratory beakers: Prepare and transfer your samples into vials using high-durability glassware designed for chemical resistance.
- Centrifuge tubes: Efficiently separate specimens before final storage in glass vials for high-throughput clinical analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between screw neck and crimp neck vials?
Screw neck vials offer convenience and ease of use for manual handling and are compatible with most autosamplers. Crimp neck vials, however, provide the most secure, airtight seal, making them the preferred choice for long-term storage and the analysis of highly volatile compounds where preventing evaporation is critical.
How do I choose the correct septa material for my laboratory vials?
Septa selection is driven by chemical compatibility and temperature requirements. PTFE/Silicone septa are standard for most chromatography applications due to their excellent chemical resistance and resealing capabilities, while specialized rubber septa may be used for less aggressive solvents.
Can your facility provide certified clean vials for environmental testing?
Yes. We supply certified EPA, VOC, and TOC vials that undergo stringent cleaning and testing procedures. These vials are delivered with certificates of cleanliness to ensure they meet regulatory standards for high-sensitivity environmental and clinical analysis.
