Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced a range of National Scientific low-particulate chromatography vials, which are cleaned in a GMP compliant, fully validated cleanroom environment to minimise contamination.
Each lot is tested for particle counts, as well as LC/MS and GC/MS background to provide a consistently high performance from every vial, says Thermo Fisher.
The vials" packaging is also pre-cleaned to ensure product integrity, making these Mass Spec Certified Vials ideal for highly sensitive chromatography applications.
The vials are produced under strict quality control protocols for uniformity. Each vial undergoes the in-process verification of 13 critical physical characteristics, thus ensuring a reproducible performance is obtained with every use. After each vial has been processed and tested, it is immediately packaged in pre-cleaned, inert vial trays. Ultra-high purity bonded PTFE/silicone closures are packaged in airtight, re-sealable containers further to reduce contamination.
As a result of the increased use of fine porosity HPLC columns and GC techniques requiring direct on-column injection, National Scientific Mass Spec Certified Vials are said to provide an unrivalled level of purity.
