Standard & Certified 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.
Quality controlled via a multi-step certification process, we ensure that Waters Certified vials meet and maintain specified levels of cleanliness, glass surface properties, controlled pH shifts and adsorptive losses - from batch to batch and vial to vial. Choosing the right sample vial for small and large molecule HPLC or UHPLC applications for UV and MS can help meeting the business demand of your laboratory and the requirement of delivering the result with the best quality needed for your analysis.

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. One of the most important factors are vial and septa cleanliness, which introduces contamination peaks. Ghost peaks are introduced by analyte degradation that can be triggered by significant pH changes in the diluent. In this chromatogram, the top shows normal behavior, and the bottom chromatogram shows ghost peaks.
Waters Certified vials are cleanliness tested so you don’t have to worry about contaminant peaks. The TruView pH Control Vials are certified to minimize and control a pH shift away from the neutral.
More time on development. Less on troubleshooting.
Stop losing valuable development time on troubleshooting due to analyte loss from non-specific adsorption. Waters TruView pH Control 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.
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.
