The amber tint is achieved through the controlled incorporation of metal oxides into the
glass
structure, enabling selective absorption of UV and short-wavelength visible light
(≈200–450 nm). This protects light-sensitive compounds from:
- Photo-oxidation
- Photolysis
- Light-induced degradation
As a result, analytes maintain chemical stability, peak integrity, and accurate
quantitation, even during extended autosampler exposure.
The vial interior features a hydrophobic surface, minimizing:
- Adsorption of polar and semi-polar compounds
- Protein and peptide binding
- Sample loss at low concentration levels
This design enhances reproducibility and improves data confidence, particularly in
trace-level and sensitive analyses.
Thermal & Mechanical Reliability
With a thermal expansion coefficient of 49, the vial delivers:
- Dimensional stability during temperature fluctuations
- Resistance to stress cracking
- Reliable sealing with screw caps and septa
The standard 32 mm height and 12 mm base ensure smooth compatibility
with autosamplers from
Agilent, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, and equivalent platforms.
BSBAV02 amber vials are well suited for:
- HPLC, UHPLC, and LC-MS analysis
- Light-sensitive APIs and formulations
- Stability and degradation studies
- Pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, environmental, and food testing
