HPLC Vials
What Are HPLC Vials? HPLC vials are small containers specifically designed for use in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) systems. These vials store sample solutions before they're introduced into the chromatographic system via an autosampler. Although small and often overlooked, HPLC vials are crucial for maintaining sample integrity, preventing contamination, and ensuring reproducible results. The right HPLC vial can improve sample stability, minimize loss, and prevent errors in both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Types of HPLC Vials There are several types of HPLC vials , classified based on design, closure type, and volume. Choosing the correct type depends on your sample, injection system, and application. 1. Screw Top Vials Most common type for autosamplers. Easy to use with reusable caps. Often used in general-purpose labs and QA/QC environments. 2. Crimp Top Vials Secure sealing with a crimping tool. Ideal for long-term storage or...
