VWR® Borosilicate Glass Scintillation Vials
Manufacturer: VWR International
VWR® Scintillation Vials are the industry standard for researchers requiring high-precision liquid scintillation counting. Manufactured from premium borosilicate glass, these vials provide exceptional chemical resistance and low background counts, ensuring that your data remains untainted by the vessel itself. Each vial is designed with a 22-400 GPI thread finish and standard dimensions (28 mm O.D. x 61 mm H) to ensure 100% compatibility with all automated counting equipment. For maximum organizational efficiency, vials are packaged in cellular trays containing 100 units each, featuring an alphanumeric grid for foolproof sample tracking.

Key Functional Benefits:
- Low Background Counts: Borosilicate glass provides a high UV transmission rate and minimal background interference, essential for detecting low-energy isotopes.
- Specialized Liner Options:
- Pulp/Cork Foil: Excellent for general solvent resistance and preventing evaporation.
- Cone-Shaped: Provides a superior "wedge" seal for volatile samples or long-term storage.
- Workflow Versatility: Choosing "unattached" caps allows you to move vials directly from the tray to a filling station without the manual labor of unscrewing 500 caps.
- Organized Storage: The cellular trays protect the glass from breakage during transport and serve as a convenient benchtop rack during sample preparation.
Laboratory Usage Insights:
- Cap Selection: Use Urea caps for maximum chemical resistance against aggressive scintillation cocktails. If your research involves organic solvents that may interact with plastics, the foil-lined urea option is highly recommended.
- Evaporation Control: Ensure caps are tightened to the correct torque. Borosilicate glass is rigid, but a loose cap can lead to significant sample loss over the 24–48 hour counting cycles typical in LSC.
- Labeling: Utilize the alphanumeric grid on the trays to record sample IDs in your lab notebook. Avoid using thick adhesive labels on the vials, as they can occasionally cause jams in the elevator mechanisms of automated counters.
Ordering Information: Available with a variety of caps and liners. Vials are packed in cellular trays (100 vials per tray) with an alphanumeric grid for easy sample identification. Replacement caps are available for vials.
