The Amber Glass Vial 4mL with Screw Cap stores light-sensitive reagents and sensitive laboratory specimens. Under high humidity, UV-filtering borosilicate glass prevents chemical degradation during storage. A universal 15 x 45 mm build fits standard chromatography autosamplers without adjustment.
Key Features
- UV-Filtering Amber Glass: Borosilicate material blocks ultraviolet radiation to prevent sample degradation. Light-sensitive chemicals remain stable.
- Chemical Resistant Borosilicate: Type 1 glass withstands acidic and basic reagents. Prevents contamination in laboratory sample vials.
- 13-425 Screw Cap: Secure threading prevents evaporation or leaks during transport. Seals liquid and solid specimens tightly.
- Autosampler Compatibility: Dimensions measuring 15 x 45 mm fit standard chromatography equipment. Works with universal automation systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the size of a 4mL vial?
The 4mL amber vial measures 15 mm in diameter and 45 mm in height. It adheres to standard 13-425 thread specifications.
Why use amber glass for lab samples?
Amber glass filters out ultraviolet light to protect photosensitive compounds from breaking down. This material prevents chemical changes in light-sensitive reagents.
