Description
A storage vial with an O-ring is a laboratory container used for the collection, storage, and preservation of liquid or solid samples. The O-ring is a rubber seal placed inside the cap of the storage vial, which provides an airtight and leak-proof seal.
Storage vials with O-rings are typically made of plastic (such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, or polyethylene) or glass, and come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. They are used for storing small volumes of samples, such as biological specimens, chemicals, or reagents, for later analysis or use.
The O-ring seal in the cap of the storage vial is designed to keep the sample contained within the vial, even under high pressure or vacuum conditions. This makes storage vials with O-rings ideal for use in high-throughput applications, such as high-speed centrifugation, and in transport of samples in freezer boxes or containers.
Storage vials with O-rings may be equipped with various features, such as graduated markings, labeling areas, or a septum for sample injection. Proper sample collection and storage procedures must be followed to ensure the accuracy and validity of test results.
