Polypropylene micro-vials (0.3 ml and 0.7 ml)
Brown polypropylene vials are precision injection-moulded and meet the dimensional tolerances needed for reliable use in autosamplers. Polypropylene offers two important advantages over glass: it is break-safe and the material is non-ionic, keeping pH changes and ion contamination in your sample to a minimum.
The plastic micro-vials are available in 0.3 ml and 0.7 ml, size 12×32 mm, and fit both crimp closures (11 mm) and screw caps (9-425). Clear and amber (UV-protective) are both available. Packed per 100 or 1000 pieces.

TOPAS® vials with glass insert (0.3 ml)
TOPAS vials combine the advantages of plastic with the chemical resistance of glass. The vial itself is made of transparent TOPAS, but the only contact surface between your sample and the closure is a borosilicate glass insert of max. 300 µl (type I). This makes the vial resistant to organic solvents, suitable for both GC and LC.
TOPAS vials are a cost-efficient alternative to glass vials with fused inserts. The protective plastic jacket keeps the risk of damage to the insert minimal. Available with 11 mm crimp closure, per 100 pieces (cat. no. 158050).
Vial kits with plastic vials
Plastic vials are also available as complete kits in the resealable KITPACK® packaging, including matching crimp seals, snap caps or screw caps with pre-assembled septum. Available in clear and amber, with Rubber/ETFE or Silicone/PTFE septa.
When do you choose plastic vials?
Plastic autosampler vials are ideally suited for:
- High-volume routine analyses where glass breakage is a cost factor
- Environments where glass vials pose safety risks
- Analyses where ion contamination must be avoided
- Storage and transport of samples before GC or HPLC analysis
For analyses where the sample is in direct contact with the vial and high chemical resistance is required, glass autosampler vials or TOPAS vials with glass insert are the better choice.
