When to Use High Recovery Vials

There are two main reasons for labs to utilize high recovery vials. The first, and likely most obvious, is for limited-volume samples. In these cases, getting the last few microliters is crucial for successful analyses. The second reason is instances where the sample is not limited to begin with, but reinjection of the same sample is necessary. The total recovery vial allows for the reduced sample volume to be enough for the next injection.

Where to Buy Total Recovery Vials

Some specific HPLC systems require a specific type of high recovery vial (as opposed to a generic vial with an insert). You may think you only have one option: to purchase the vials directly from your HPLC manufacturer. But this can be quite cost-prohibitive for sample analysis. Recently, we have helped high throughput labs by supplying them with high recovery autosampler vials at a fraction of the price that they are offered by the instrument manufacturer. The customers are able to use the high recovery vials they want at a price that works in their budget.

An Overview of High Recovery Vials

High recovery vials have a total capacity of about 1.5mL, but the tapered conical finish of the vial bottom allows for the needle to be able to draw up the last few microliters.
