The Laboratory Vials category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to separate, identify and quantify components in complex samples using controlled flow paths, columns, gases, detectors and supporting sample hardware. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Leaks, contamination, unsuitable materials or poorly matched consumables can reduce sensitivity and make retention or identification less reliable. The practical choice therefore depends on purity or cleanliness grade, instrument connection, analytical technique, and sample chemistry, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
The complete method includes sample preparation, compatible vials or tubes, a stable carrier or mobile phase, separation hardware, detection and appropriate data review. The same principle applies across pharmaceutical, chemical, food, environmental, forensic and research laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. As part of the Chromatography Equipment & Supplies range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Vials range
Our collection covers the linked product groups used to separate, identify and quantify components in complex samples using controlled flow paths, columns, gases, detectors and supporting sample hardware, including vial accessories and chromatography vials & septa.
Chromatography Vial Accessories
The Chromatography Vial Accessories range brings together products designed to separate, identify and quantify components in complex samples using controlled flow paths, columns, gases, detectors and supporting sample hardware. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task.
Chromatography Vials & Septa
The Chromatography Vials & Septa range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to separate, identify and quantify components in complex samples using controlled flow paths, columns, gases, detectors and supporting sample hardware. Start with the application and sample, then compare analytical technique, sample chemistry, pressure and flow requirements, and material compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between screw neck and crimp neck vials?
Screw neck vials from brands like LLG Labware offer convenience for manual handling, while crimp neck vials from Macherey-Nagel provide the most secure seal for volatile samples and long-term storage. Laboratories should compare pressure and flow requirements, material compatibility, and purity or cleanliness grade and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are these vials compatible with all major autosamplers?
Vials from LLG Labware and Macherey-Nagel are manufactured to industry-standard dimensions (e.g., 12x32mm), ensuring seamless fitment in systems from Agilent, Waters, Shimadzu, and more. For vials, also check pressure and flow requirements, material compatibility, and purity or cleanliness grade so the product fits the complete procedure.
Can I get certified vials for high-sensitivity analysis?
We offer certified vial kits from Macherey-Nagel and DWK Kimble that are pre-cleaned and tested to ensure they meet the strict purity requirements of MS and trace-level chromatography. Laboratories should compare pressure and flow requirements, material compatibility, and purity or cleanliness grade and document the selected setup for consistent use.
How do I choose the correct septa material for my solvents?
Septa selection depends on chemical compatibility. We offer a range of PTFE, Silicone, and Rubber septa from Macherey-Nagel and DWK Life Sciences to ensure your seals remain intact and do not introduce contaminants into your sample. Laboratories should compare pressure and flow requirements, material compatibility, and purity or cleanliness grade and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Which specifications matter most when comparing vials?
Review pressure and flow requirements, material compatibility, purity or cleanliness grade, and instrument connection, together with expected workload and cleaning or maintenance requirements. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task. For vials, also check pressure and flow requirements, material compatibility, and purity or cleanliness grade so the product fits the complete procedure.
