Vials, Racks, Holders, and Lyophilization Containers

Polyethylene Vials; Poly-Vials
Sample vials with a captive snap closure; flat bottom cylindrical vials with a friction-fit, flip-top closure which can not be lost. These vials are unbreakable and can withstand temperatures up to 90°C. The wall thickness is approx. 1mm and these vials are ideal for use as a specimen container for the storage of small samples, or as embedding capsules.

Vials; Shell
1. Clear Glass, Plain Top
These vials are optically clear with straight-sides. Made from Type1, N-51A borosilicate glass. Fixation, dehydration, and infiltration procedures can be done in the same vial. The larger size vials can be used as an embedding media mixture container or for sample storage. The vials come with polyethylene open bottom snap-caps, Titeseal®, which are packed separately. Except the 4- dram size vial which comes without a closure. We recommend the use of our cork stoppers.
*caps are not available

The screw caps are 22-400 and they are made from polypropylene with a foam- polyethylene liner. The vials and caps are packaged the same way as glass vials.
3. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
For optimal performance in the laboratory, PET plastic vials provide a combination of features previously unavailable in a counting vial. Safe disposal is accomplished by incineration. No harmful gas is generated (only CO2 and H2O are created). These vials are lightweight, virtually unbreakable and they have the clarity of glass. PET vials also offer low permeability to solvents and minimal background count. These vials hold 20 mls of fluid and they measure 27mm diameter, 61mm height (with cap on.

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.
