CUSTOM ITEM: Vials, Snap Top, Glass. Clear, 1.5ml, U Shape. An 11mm snap-ring with 12x32mm outer dimensions and a fluted stand. For use as an autosampler vial. MICROSOLV Brand. 100/PK.
Additional Info:
The 9512C‑0CV‑P MICROSOLV™ Brand U‑Shape Snap‑Top Autosampler Vial is a 1.5 mL clear glass vial is a made‑to‑order item for laboratories requiring a center‑draining vial geometry in a snap‑top format. These vials are produced from first hydrolytic, Class A, Type N51A borosilicate glass, providing dependable chemical durability for routine analytical use.
The inner U‑shaped profile promotes center‑draining behavior and delivers a typical residual volume of approximately 15 µL for most autosamplers. This design is often compared to champagne‑style vials, offering predictable recovery characteristics while maintaining a compact autosampler footprint.
A fluted base improves stability when the vial is standing alone on benchtops or work surfaces. For optimal sealing and consistent performance, use of Soft‑Guard™ snap caps is recommended with this vial format.
Important Use Guidance Snap caps and snap‑top vials are not generally recommended for LC‑MS applications or other critical analyses involving volatile solvents, including aqueous systems. For these applications, screw‑thread vials with properly matched caps and septa are generally preferred to reduce evaporation and maintain sample integrity.
