Chromatography Vials
Vial Selection, Compatibility, and Quality You Can Trust
Chrom Tech supplies a complete range of chromatography vials, inserts, and closures including 1.5 mL and 2 mL clear and amber formats compatible with Agilent, Shimadzu, Thermo, and Waters autosamplers. Available in glass or plastic, these vials deliver reliable sealing, accurate sample recovery, and consistent results.
The industry-standard 12 × 32 mm vial fits most autosamplers, while 20 mm headspace vials support gas analysis workflows. Screw thread, crimp, and snap top designs provide flexibility for HPLC, GC, and high-throughput applications.
Choose Type I borosilicate glass for inert performance or polypropylene and TPX polymers for chemical resistance. Amber vials protect light-sensitive samples, while vial inserts help maximize recovery for low-volume injections. Common configurations are in stock and ready to ship.
