Material & Chemical Characteristics
Type I Borosilicate glass is characterized by low alkali and alkaline earth metal
content, providing excellent resistance to chemical attack and hydrolysis.
This ensures minimal ionic leaching (e.g., Na⁺, Ca²⁺), preventing pH variation, analyte
loss, and elemental contamination—critical for trace level and bioanalytical workflows.
The hydrophobic surface further minimizes interaction between the vial wall and polar or
semi polar analytes, supporting accurate quantification in GC/MS applications.
Surface Chemistry and Hydrophobicity
The inner surface exhibits low surface hydroxyl (–OH) density, resulting
in a relatively hydrophobic glass surface.
Such surface characteristics are especially important for volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) and oxygen-sensitive analytes.
Crimp Neck and Sealing Integrity
The vial features a 20 mm Bevel-mouth crimp finish, engineered to create
a hermetic seal when used with aluminum caps and PTFE/silicone septa.
From a mechanical standpoint:
- The Bevel mouth geometry guides the septum into optimal alignment
- Prevents micro-leakage and oxygen ingress
- Maintains pressure integrity during thermal equilibration
This sealing efficiency is essential for preventing evaporation, oxidation, and external
contamination.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured under controlled production and quality systems aligned
with USFDA, GMP, and ISO requirements, ensuring consistent batch to
batch performance and reliability in regulated analytical environments.
