Headspace vials are autosampler vials designed for headspace GC analysis of volatile compounds, where elevated temperatures and internal pressures place higher demands on vial strength and sealing performance. This subcategory includes headspace vials manufactured to withstand the thermal and mechanical conditions associated with headspace sampling while supporting consistent analytical results.
Headspace vials in this category are produced from high‑quality borosilicate glass, supporting chemical resistance, dimensional consistency, and low background interference. These vials are commonly used with crimp caps or screw caps and are engineered to provide reliable compatibility with automated headspace systems.
This category includes headspace vials offered across multiple performance tiers, including MICROSOLV™ brand and BASIK™ brand options, allowing laboratories to select solutions based on analytical sensitivity, regulatory requirements, and workflow needs. Vials are manufactured to match OEM dimensional specifications and are compatible with headspace systems from major instrument manufacturers, including Agilent™, CTC™, Leap™, PerkinElmer™, Shimadzu™, and Varian™.
Available configurations include clear or amber glass, round‑bottom or flat‑bottom designs, write‑on patch options, SPME‑compatible formats, and both crimp‑top and screw‑top closures. Selection of the appropriate vial design should be based on sample volatility, autosampler compatibility, and headspace method requirements.
