Storage Vial

GISCOM’s Storage Vial is a high-quality polypropylene vial designed for the safe storage, preservation, and transport of biological samples, including human and animal cells, reagents, and other laboratory materials. Equipped with a secure, leakproof cap and engineered grooves for stability, it ensures reliable sample integrity in demanding research and industrial environments. Its durability and clarity make it an essential component in modern laboratory workflows.

Key Features

• Leakproof sealing system with a built-in PP seal ring for maximum sample protection.
• Transparent body for clear visibility of stored material.
• Longitudinal anti-twist grooves on the vial base for stable rack placement.
• High-strength, chemical-resistant construction suitable for long-term storage.
• Lightweight, easy-handling design for efficient workflow management.
• Uniform wall thickness ensures consistent performance and centrifugation reliability (within PP limits).
• Non-reactive and biologically inert, ideal for sensitive biological specimens.
• Compatible with standard vial racks and storage systems.

Material Specifications

• Material: Premium-grade Polypropylene (PP)

• Mechanical Properties: High impact resistance, Stress-crack resistant
• Manufacturing Standards: Produced in ISO-compliant facilities, ensuring global quality consistency.

Technical Specifications

• Available Capacities: Multiple vial sizes (short and long forms) to support varied storage needs.
• Dimensions: Precision-moulded for consistent diameter and secure cap fit.
• Tolerance: Tight dimensional accuracy ensures compatibility with standard racks and instruments.
• Calibration: Not applicable (non-graduated storage vial).
• Included Accessories: Leakproof polypropylene cap with built-in seal ring.

Handling & Precautions

• Ensure caps are tightly secured before refrigeration, transport, or storage.
• Autoclave safely at 121°C with caps loosened to avoid pressure buildup.
• Clean using mild, non-abrasive laboratory detergents; avoid harsh solvents that exceed PP compatibility.
• Do not expose the vial to temperatures beyond polypropylene limits.
• Store in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain structural integrity.
• Avoid using with strong oxidizing agents outside the PP resistance range.

Applications

• Clinical & Diagnostic Laboratories: Storage of blood components, cell suspensions, and biological fluids.
• Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology: Sample archiving, QC/QA stability studies, and formulation storage.
• Research & Academic Institutions: Routine experimental materials and biological specimen handling.
• Chemical & Industrial Labs: Storage of reagents, buffers, and test solutions. These vials play a vital role in sample traceability, preservation, and reliable day-to-day laboratory operations.
