FAQs
What is the benefit of using an amber vial for sample storage?
Amber vials are specifically designed to protect light-sensitive samples from UV radiation, which can degrade certain compounds. By using amber glass, these vials ensure the integrity and stability of sensitive samples during storage and handling, making them ideal for applications where light exposure could compromise sample quality.
How should I clean and maintain these vials?
To clean the 2.0mL LO Amber Vial, use a mild detergent and warm water, ensuring thorough rinsing to remove any residues. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. For sterilization, autoclaving is recommended, but always check compatibility with your specific samples to prevent any adverse reactions.
Are these vials compatible with all crimping tools?
The 11mm crimp opening is designed to be compatible with standard crimping tools used in laboratories. However, it is advisable to verify the tool's specifications to ensure a proper fit and secure seal, preventing any potential leaks or sample contamination.
What precautions should I take due to the California prop 65 warning?
The California prop 65 warning indicates that the product may contain chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Handle the vials with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment, and ensure proper ventilation in the workspace to minimize exposure.
Can these vials be used for high-temperature applications?
While the amber glass provides some resistance to thermal shock, it is essential to confirm the temperature limits with your specific application requirements. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent glass breakage, and consult the manufacturer for guidance on maximum temperature thresholds. 2.0mL LO Clear V 2.0mL LO Clear Vial 12x32mm White Graduated Spot 11mm Crimp
