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 27 mm diameter, 61 mm height (with cap on). The screw caps are 22-400 and are made from polypropylene with a foamed polyethylene liner. The vials and the caps are packaged separately.
