MS Certified Vials When your instrumentation, sample handling and methodology is pushing the limits, a chromatography vial that can keep up is essential.
When your instrumentation, sample handling and methodology is pushing the limits, a chromatography vial that can keep up is essential.
The presence of inorganic sub-micron particles in all glass vials as a byproduct of the manufacturing process is a little known phenomenon that has not been extensively studied. Gas chromatographers depend on injection port liners to act as traps for particulates while the HPLC chromatographer takes extensive steps to eliminate them during sample preparation. This has been an effective strategy for routine analytical methods, but the need to work with even lower concentrations of analytes creates the possibility of interactions with compounds of interest. GC techniques employing on-column injection also create the need for a sample vial with minimal background particulates to prevent an accumulation of foreign material at the head of the column that might adversely affect a separation. Similarly newer techniques employing finely packed HPLC columns, capillary columns and direct connection of the analytical column to the sample valve also require the elimination of as much particulate matter as possible from the sample stream
Thermo Scientific MS Certified Vials undergo a proprietary cleaning process that greatly reduces the background particulates along with their potential effect on high sensitivity chromatography. All MS Certified Vials are processed and tested for background particulates. A typical vial that has not been processed can exhibit particle counts exceeding 5000 particles per mL with the highest counts occurring in the range below 0.5μm.
