Borosilicate Glass Headspace Vials

Borosilicate Glass Headspace Vials

Description:

Borosilicate glass headspace vials are specialized vials designed to hold volatile samples or gases for analysis, particularly by headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC). Made from chemically resistant borosilicate glass, they can withstand the high temperatures and pressures typically used in headspace sampling and analysis.

Specifications:

• Material: Type I borosilicate glass (USP, ASTM compliant)

• Volume: Common sizes include 6 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL

• Glass Clarity: Clear or amber (for light-sensitive samples)

• Neck Style: Crimp top or screw top

• Cap Compatibility: Crimp caps or screw caps with PTFE/silicone septa

• Dimension Examples:

  • 20 mL: ~22.5 mm diameter × 75.5 mm height

  • 10 mL: ~22.5 mm × 46 mm

• Pressure Resistance: Withstands heating in headspace ovens (~120–150 °C, varies by brand)

• Sealing Type: Hermetically sealed with aluminum crimp or threaded closures

• Certifications (optional): Pre-cleaned, sterilized, or certified for VOC analysis

Uses:

• Headspace GC (Gas Chromatography): Volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis

• Pharmaceuticals & food industries: Residual solvent testing

• Environmental testing: Soil, water, and air sample headspace analysis

• Quality control: Detecting outgassing from packaging or chemical mixtures

• Research laboratories: Thermally-driven headspace studies

Features:

• ✅ Made from borosilicate glass – Excellent chemical and thermal resistance

• ✅ Leak-proof sealing – Compatible with both crimp and screw caps

• ✅ High thermal stability – Ideal for heated headspace samplers

• ✅ Available pre-cleaned – Certified versions reduce contamination risk

• ✅ Clear or amber options – Protects light-sensitive compounds if needed

• ✅ Precision-molded dimensions – Ensures compatibility with autosamplers

• ✅ Wide range of sizes – Flexible for different sample volumes
