Polypropylene and TPX vials and inserts



Vials manufactured from plastics, such as polypropylene and polymethylpentance (TPX), are alternative materials to consider when glass vial weight, breakage, surface inertness, and/or disposal cost are concerns.
The benefits offered by plastics include:
  • low extractables
  • compatible with many solvents
  • excellent choice when working with proteins
  • ideal for Ion Chromatography applications
  • well suited for storing pH sensitive samples
  • eliminate the need for an insert when microsampling
  • economical to purchase
