SureSTART™ 2 mL Clear Silanized Glass Screw Top Vials, 100/pack, Level 3 - FAQs

When would I need inert vials for my chromatography samples?

For analysis of compounds which show interactions with untreated glass surfaces, it may be necessary to use a deactivated glass vial. The effect of adsorption is most apparent when dealing with very low concentrations of the sample. It is likely that this effect will only be identified during calibration. Analytical results will show poor reproducibility and linearity for active samples while non-adsorbing species show good results.

Inert glass products can be found in Performance level 3, and include silanized glass and GOLD-grade technology deactivated glass.
