Description

To help deliver high-quality, reproducible data in high-throughput GC and MS analysis, choose SureSTART™ 20 mL Glass Crimp Top Headspace Vials (Level 2)

Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ 20 mL Crimp Top Headspace Vials (Level 2) are designed for routine QA/QC and high-throughput analytical applications for all headspace GC and mass spectrometry (MS) instruments.

Made with high-purity clear glass, these vials minimize metal content, extractables, and leachables - critical for maintaining sample integrity and meeting US, EU, and JPN Pharmacopeia standards. These vials are made to withstand higher temperatures and internal pressures required for volatile gas analyses.

These round base vials are compatible with most autosamplers and can be handled by robotic arms that lift the vial from the tray.

Each vial is Specification Certified to ensure their physical dimensions and autosampler compatibility.

Combine with Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ 20 mm crimp caps and septa to ensure optimal performance.

Features

• Meet all requirements of US, EU, JPN Pharmacopeia
• Use Thermo Scientific 20 mm crimp caps and septa to seal this vial
• Use Thermo Scientific manual or electronic crimpers and decrimpers to seal and remove your crimp top from the vial
• Round base vials are compatible with most autosamplers and more easily handled by robotic arms that lift the vial from the tray
• Buy in bulk for greater savings

The SureSTART Performance Levels

SureSTART vials, caps, inserts, septa, and kits are available in three performance levels. Now you can choose the products that best suit your analytical, performance, or budget needs.

• Level 1: Everyday analysis
Chromatography approved
SureSTART Level 1 products are cost optimized, suitable for all instrument types, and quality tested to deliver the performance, sample security, and reproducibility you need for everyday analyses. They are an ideal solution for verifying compound presence and quantification using detection techniques such as UV, RI, and FID.

• Level 2: High-throughput analysis
When robustness and reproducibility are key
SureSTART Level 2 vials have very low metal contents and leachables to ensure that they conform to the high standards you need to meet your regulatory requirements. The septa are conditioned to provide a very low level of chromatographic extractables. These products support routine analyses and deliver high quality data with an uninterrupted workflow.

• Level 3: High performance
When sensitivity is a must
SureSTART Level 3 products are packed in a clean environment according to our own hygiene concept and regulations to protect against contaminating factors. The vials contain the lowest levels of extractable metals and leachables to ensure consistent, reproducible sensitivity and selectivity for the most challenging analytes. The septa are conditioned to provide the lowest level of chromatographic extractables. Choose these products for ultimate method performance and high levels of and sample security and integrity.

All SureSTART vials, closures, and septa are certified to meet physical parameter specifications as part of our manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When should I use a headspace vial for my chromatography workflow?

Headspace vials are used when you want to analyze the gaseous phase of the sample rather than the liquid phase. These vials have a thicker glass wall to withstand higher temperature and internal pressure for the analysis of volatile gas in the vial’s headspace. Headspace vials with 20 mm crimp tops and 18 mm screw tops in sizes ranging from 6 mL to 20 mL are available in clear or amber glass. Choose from a round or flat base with a beveled or square edge finish.

Round base vials are compatible with most autosamplers and are more easily handled by robotic arms that lift the vial from the tray.

Flat base vials maximize heating efficiency in manual headspace sampling and are required for use in some instrument models.

The bevel edge on a vial lip provides additional sealing power for greater leak resistance under high pressure.
