Scintillation Vial

The GISCOM Scintillation Vial is a robust, unbreakable sample container designed specifically for liquid scintillation counting and low-activity sample analysis. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it ensures safe handling of sensitive samples and reliable compatibility with standard scintillation analysers. Its leakproof screw cap guarantees secure containment, making these vials indispensable in radiation measurement laboratories, research institutes, and industrial testing environments.
