Vials are extensively used in an analysis. Accordingly, they are likely to be chosen with a focus on cost. However, if problems with cracks or contamination occur, this can interfere with the analysis or have an impact on data reliability. Shimadzu provides high-quality vials that thoroughly eliminate these risks by visually inspecting each vial, allowing them to be used with confidence.

Choosing the Best Vial for Your LC and LC-MS Experiment

Choosing the Best Vial for Your LC and LC-MS Experiment

 

Vial quality is often overlooked in high-sensitivity LC and LC-MS workflows, yet poor vial quality can lead to sample loss, contamination and inaccurate results. One of the biggest culprits is alkali metal elution, a common issue in borosilicate glass vials. This process can significantly alter pH, introduce impurities and cause unpredictable interactions with analytes. This infographic explores how vial composition affects analysis and provides solutions for reducing contamination and improving reproducibility.

    Proprietary Cleaning Treatment Suppresses Sample Adsorption by the Vials

    Are your peaks sometimes unstable or smaller than expected? Depending on the vial, it is possible that the sample is being adsorbed by the inner surface of the glass, which can reduce the recovery ratio. Shim-vials H and S are made from medical grade borosilicate glass, certified as Type 1 glass in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP), and sample adsorption is suppressed by the application of a proprietary cleaning treatment. An additional cleaning process is applied to the Shim-vial H glass to suppress adsorption to the utmost. Accordingly, these are the optimum vials for LC-MS when performing trace-quantity analysis. Using these revolutionary vials enables more accurate and stable analysis results.

  • We Place Importance on Both Containers and Quality

    We Place Importance on Both Containers and Quality

    These vials are manufactured in the same facilities as pharmaceutical packaging materials, and are delivered to the customer only after passing a strict shipment inspection. The vials, caps, and septum are managed by lot, and they come with a traceable quality certificate. Low background levels and low adsorption, which are important in LC and LC-MS analysis, are tested for by lot, so you can use these vials with confidence.

  • Vial Selection by Application

    Vial Selection by Application

    Our lineup includes Shim-vial H, which enables trace-quantity analysis of basic compounds prone to adsorption by glass, thanks to advanced low adsorption treatment, and the cost-effective Shim-vial S.
    And our small-volume vials with their unique shape are made of the same materials and receive the same cleaning treatment as the 1.5 mL vials. They suppress adsorption more than other small-volume inserts by limiting the contact surface between the sample and the container.
