Sample Vials
Maximize lab efficiency with fewer failed assays and lower instrument downtime
Reducing failed assays from unknown contaminant peaks and limiting instrument downtime from out of specification vials or septa is a priority for your lab. Waters sample vials, caps & septa can help you do just that.
All Waters sample vials are held to the tightest dimensional tolerances. Manufactured via a 2-, 3-, or 4-step certification process, we ensure that Waters Certified Vials meet and maintain specified vial dimensions, levels of cleanliness and adsorption properties from batch to batch. Choosing the right vial can make a world of difference.

Ideal for demanding MS work
LCMS Certified Vials are suited for analyte concentrations in the 100s ng/mL concentration. Waters LCMS Certified Vials are tested by MS scans from 250 to 1000 m/z with specifications set on the total ion count and presence of clusters in the high mass range. This chromatogram shows a comparison of typical MS scans of Waters LCMS Certified Vials to vials of other sources and clean solvents.
Control data quality risks and reduce unexpected or ghost peaks
Don’t let the presence of background noise impact your results, causing data quality risks and unexpected or ghost peaks. Background noise can come from many factors, including vial cleanliness. In this chromatogram, the top shows normal behavior, and the bottom chromatogram shows ghost peaks.
More time on development. Less on troubleshooting.
Stop losing valuable development time on troubleshooting due to analyte loss from non-specific adsorption. Waters TruView LCMS Certified Vials have the lowest adsorptive losses on the market, and you can rely on them to provide consistency from batch to batch and vial to vial. This chromatogram shows a comparison of adsorptive loss of chlorhexidine in a variety of vials.
