Description

The MEDILAB Storage Vial With O-Ring is a precision-moulded polypropylene container designed for secure collection, preservation, and transport of sensitive liquid or solid samples. Its integrated O-ring in the cap ensures an airtight, leak-proof seal—even under pressure changes—making it essential for high-precision laboratory and industrial workflows. Ideal for storage, archiving, and controlled sampling, this vial supports reliable and contamination-free sample handling across advanced scientific environments.

Key Features

• Leak-proof O-Ring Seal: Rubber O-ring embedded in the cap provides airtight closure and prevents leakage or evaporation.
• High-clarity PP body: Transparent polypropylene allows clear visibility of sample contents.
• Autoclavable & reusable: Withstands repeated sterilisation cycles without distortion.
• Chemical-resistant design: Inert against common laboratory solvents, reagents, and biological materials.
• Secure screw cap: Ensures a firm grip and prevents accidental opening during storage or transport.
• Consistent volume accuracy: Precision moulding guarantees uniform performance across batches.
• Freezer-safe: Suitable for cold storage applications such as specimen archiving and reagent preservation.
• Smooth internal walls: Facilitates complete sample retrieval and reduces residue buildup.
