For researchers managing a high number of chromatography sample vials

The new 300µL interlocked robotic arm machine (RAM) vial with 9mm thread finish from J G Finneran Associates based in Vineland, NJ, US is aimed at researchers tasked with managing a high number of chromatography sample vials in their laboratories.

Composed of a clear or amber Type I borosilicate glass, the vial and insert are fused together keeping the insert permanently in place. This enables accurate automated injection and eliminates contamination risk around the seam or space between the neck of the vial and the insert. The interlocked RAM vial arrives ready to use saving valuable time in the laboratory.

The vial has been designed to work in robotic arm autosamplers such as those available from Agilent Technologies and others. Robotic arms can easily grasp the 12mm x 32mm outer dimensions of the vial. Chromatography samples are contained in a clear Type I borosilicate glass 300µL conical tip insert. The interlocked RAM vial includes a marking spot, which can be written on with a #2 pencil. The vial is also available with a 9mm screw thread closure.
