Description
MEDILAB RIA Vials are high-quality, precision-moulded tubes designed for Radioimmunoassay (RIA), coagulation studies, bacteriology, and other diagnostic laboratory applications. These vials offer excellent clarity, chemical stability, and high-speed centrifugation tolerance, ensuring accurate and contamination-free sample handling. Their reliability makes them essential for sensitive assays involving hormones, proteins, and trace-level analytes.
Key Features
- Crystal-clear transparency for easy sample visualization
- Withstands up to 3000 RCF (PP) and 1400 RCF (PS) during centrifugation
- Resistant to common acids, alkalis, and solvents (depending on material)
- Tight-fitting screw caps prevent leakage, evaporation, and contamination
- Smooth internal surface ensures complete sample recovery
- Dimensionally stable and suitable for routine clinical and research workflows
- Lightweight, shatter-resistant, and compatible with most laboratory racks and systems
Material Specifications
-
Material Options:
Polypropylene (PP):
- Excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis & solvents

Handling & Precautions
- Ensure caps are securely tightened to prevent evaporation or contamination
- PP vials may be centrifuged at higher speeds; PS vials must only be used within recommended limits
- Avoid exposing PS vials to aggressive solvents or high temperatures
- Clean PP vials with mild detergents; avoid abrasive cleaning materials
- For sensitive assays, use sterile or pre-cleaned vials as required
- Follow proper storage conditions to maintain sample integrity (avoid prolonged UV exposure)
