Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has introduced the National Scientific Mass Spec Certified Vials, which are cleaned and tested as standard. These low-particulate chromatography vials are cleaned in a GMP compliant, fully-validated cleanroom environment to minimize the occurrence of any contamination. Each lot is tested for particle counts, as well as LC/MS and GC/MS background to provide high performance from each vial. In addition, the packaging is also pre-cleaned to ensure product integrity, making the vials for a wide range of sensitive chromatography applications.
Manufactured from inert, pure, and chemically stable glass, the Mass Spec Certified Vials are produced under strict quality control protocols for uniformity. Each vial undergoes the in-process verification of 13 critical physical characteristics, ensuring a reproducible performance is obtained with every use. Vials are packaged into pre-cleaned, inert vial trays. Ultra-high purity bonded PTFE/silicone closures are packaged in airtight, re-sealable containers to further reduce the possibility of contamination.
