Lyophilization Containers – Serum Vials / Bottles
These are the choice containers for Lyophilization. There is three majors factors to successful Lyophillization: Heat Transfer, Sealability, Water Vapor Transmission Barrier
- Heat Transfer– a Wheaton Glass serum vial, as opposed to glass serum bottles, plastic serum bottles, and other containers has a very consistent thin wall and bottom. This attribute of a Wheaton glass serum vials allow the heating phase of the lyophilization process to take place rapidly and effectively.
- Sealability – Wheaton glass serum vials feature a “blowback” feature in neck and bottom. This allows for a 2 or 3 legged lyophilization stopper to be securely and evenly seated in the mouth of the vial during the lyophilization process. An uneven stopper may results in water vapor entering back into the vial once stored. Additionally, these serum vials come in standard crimp finish sizes, for compatibility with various standard aluminum seals and crimping tools.
- Water vapor Transmission Barrier – Wheaton glass serum vials are made from premium, low extractable, borosilicate glass, which offers a superiorbarrier to water vapors. The vials are available in either clear and amber for UV light transmission applications.
- Autoclavable – These vials can be autoclaved, by dry heat, by chemical, by gas, or by radiation.

Sticky Stand
Sticky Stand is a unique adhesive platform for temporarily securing micro-tubes, vials, cuvettes, and many other kinds of laboratory vessels. To use, simply press down on the vial(s) and contact between the bottom of a tube or vial and the adhesive bed is sufficient for establishing support. A twist or pull releases the bpvessel from the adhesive bed, without leaving any adhesive residue.
The adhesive bed is fabricated in a heat-resistant plastic tray and it can be rejuvenated by placing it in a conventional oven for one hour (Preheated to approx. 190ºC or 375ºF). For safety, always place the Sticky Stand in a containment tray during reheating.
The polyolefin adhesive and polyester tray are resistant to most organic solvents and caustic agents. Sticky Stand can be used under either low or high humidity conditions as well as in cold or warm environments (from 4 to 40ºC).
Once adhesion is established, it is maintained even at much lower temperatures, -20ºC.
The adhesive bed is approximately 0.5" thick, and it is available in either regular or high adhesive strength. Regular strength is often preferred for room temperature uses. High strength is preferred for low temperature uses.
