Rack For Scintillation Vial

The GISCOM Rack for Scintillation Vials is a durable and chemically resistant storage solution designed for secure handling, organisation, and transportation of scintillation vials in laboratory environments. It provides a stable platform that supports both 8 mL and 20 mL vials, ensuring easy sample identification and workflow efficiency. Essential for radiochemical analysis, sample preparation, and liquid scintillation counting, this rack enhances safety, reliability, and operational convenience in research and industrial laboratories.

Key Features

• Dual Compatibility: Accommodates both 8 mL and 20 mL scintillation vials.
• High Stability Design: Rigid structure prevents tipping and ensures safe vial positioning.
• Autoclavable: Withstands standard autoclave cycles for sterilisation.
• Corrosion & Chemical Resistant: Suitable for handling radioactive, corrosive, or volatile substances.
• Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surface: Facilitates quick decontamination and minimises contamination risk.
• Lightweight & Rugged: Designed for long-term laboratory use without structural deformation.
• Efficient Workflow: Organises multiple vials for streamlined sample handling, transport, and storage.

Material Specifications

• Material: High-quality polypropylene (laboratory-grade plasticware).
• Thermal Properties: Heat-stable; compatible with autoclaving at standard temperatures.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most acids, bases, solvents, and radiochemical reagents.
• Mechanical Properties: Impact-resistant, dimensionally stable, and lightweight.
• Standards Compliance: Manufactured according to international laboratory plasticware norms (ISO & ASTM applicable standards for PP-based lab products).

Technical Specifications

• Vial Compatibility: 8 mL and 20 mL scintillation vials.
• Capacity: Multi-hole format (typically 40–50 vial positions depending on model).
• Dimensions: Standard low-profile laboratory rack dimensions (customisable upon request).
• Tolerance & Stability: Precision-moulded wells ensure accurate vial placement and vibration resistance.
• Sterilisation: Autoclavable; compatible with chemical disinfectants.
• Accessories: Optional lids/covers or customised vial holders are available for OEM orders.

 Handling & Precautions

• Safe Use: Place vials gently to avoid impact with the polymer wells.
• Cleaning: Rinse with mild detergent; compatible with standard lab disinfectants.
• Autoclaving: Do not exceed recommended PP autoclave temperature limits (approx. 121°C).
• Avoid: Exposure to direct flame or high-temperature drying ovens.
• Best Practices: Store in a clean, dry location; avoid bending or stacking heavy loads on top.

Applications

• Research Laboratories: Radiochemical studies, liquid scintillation counting, tracer experiments.
• Pharmaceutical & Biotech Labs: Sample preparation, stability studies, and QA/QC workflows.
• Chemical & Environmental Testing Labs: Handling radioactive or fluorescent samples.
• Academic & University Labs: Teaching, research experiments, and student training.
• Industrial R&D Facilities: Routine analysis, storage, and organised sample management.

The rack supports organised, contamination-free sample handling, improving accuracy, traceability, and workflow efficiency across diverse applications.
