Help! My Chromatography Vials are on Backorder!

Supply Chain Challenges and Chrom Tech’s Commitment

Ongoing supply chain issues continue to disrupt laboratory operations around the world. We’ve noticed a growing number of customers reaching out because their usual chromatography vial suppliers are on backorder. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place—Chrom Tech maintains a robust inventory and often has in-stock alternatives ready to ship.

What Vials Are on Backorder?

This question has become increasingly difficult to answer because availability changes daily. Vials from multiple vendors across the country are affected by supply chain fluctuations. Fortunately, Chrom Tech stocks a wide range of vial types and brands, allowing us to offer compatible alternatives when certain products are unavailable. Even if one specific brand is out of stock, we often have an equivalent version available for immediate shipment.

How to Determine Suitable Substitute Vials

That’s where our team comes in. Chrom Tech’s technical specialists can help you identify appropriate substitutes—whether that means switching from clear to amber vials, choosing options with or without graduated marking spots, or selecting a different brand of the same vial type. We understand the urgency of keeping your lab running smoothly and will work quickly to find the best possible replacement. While we can’t guarantee stock for every customer, we’re committed to doing everything we can to keep your operations on track.

What If I’m an International Customer?

Good news—we can ship many of our Chrom Tech brand products worldwide. While some distributed items are restricted to the United States, our Chrom Tech brand chromatography vials, syringe filters, well plates, and HPLC pumps are available for shipment across the globe. Wherever your lab is located, Chrom Tech can help ensure you receive high-quality consumables quickly and reliably.

Where to Find In-Stock Vials

We recommend starting with our In-Stock Featured Products page. This collection highlights items we consistently keep on hand and ready to ship at a moment’s notice. Keep in mind that this page doesn’t list every product in our warehouse—just our most popular ready-to-ship items.
