Sample Vials
Tubes and vials for general collection, storage, and transportation of samples; available in a variety of colors, sizes, volume capacities, and material compositions; may be sterile, non-sterile, and/or autoclavable; may include caps.
The term “vial” is somewhat undefined and is usually described as a small, cylindrical, and flat-bottomed container used to hold liquids. Most sample vials are made of plastic or glass, and include a separate or attached lid or closure. Sample vials are categorized by material and also by their size or specific purpose.
Glass sample vials are categorized by the type of glass used to make them.
- Type I, Class A glass sample vials are made from low-expansion borosilicate glass
- Type I, Class B glass sample vials are made from an alumino-borosilicate glass
- Type II are made from soda-lime glass
Plastic sample vials may be made from a variety of resins, including:
- Polycarbonate
- Polypropylene
- Polystyrene
- Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Glass sample vials may be clear or amber-colored (to protect the contents from ultraviolet light). Plastic sample vials are available in a range of colors, including amber, natural, and clear resins.
Sample vials may have different types of closures, depending on their use and the material being stored.
- Screw caps
- For both glass and plastic sample vials
- May be closed or open
- Typically made from polypropylene or phenolic resin (with a variety of closure liners, including PE foam, PTFE, cork, tin, etc.)
- Flip-top
- Caps for plastic sample vials may be attached by a tether to the vial itself
- Also called “captive” closures
- Snap caps (external): Both glass and plastic sample vials
- Plug caps (internal): Both glass and plastic sample vials

Chemglass Life Sciences Vial, 8mL (2 Dram), Complete with Green Solid Top Cap, TFE Septa, 17x60mm, 15-425 Thread
Vial, 8mL (2 Dram), Complete with Green Solid Top Cap, TFE Septa, 17x60mm, 15-425 Thread. Packaged in a clear PETG tray complete with a slide or lift off dust cover. Vials are separated by a SBS partition to eliminate glass to glass contact. Caps are supplied complete in the package, not attached. Entire package is recyclable. Vials are made from 33 expansion borosilicate glass which conforms to ASTM E-438 Type 1-Class A, USP Type 1 and ISO 3585. The high resistance to thermal shock along with its maximum chemical resistance makes this the glass of choice for vials along with most all laboratory glassware. Polypropylene caps have a septa bonded to the cap, using the Chemglass SURE-Link Process. The inert process bonds the PTFE Faced Silicone septa directly to the cap without adhesives, making the caps autoclavable and able to withstand multiple injections.
