Kimble Chase has added more than one hundred vials, septa and closures to its scientific and packaging vial portfolio for the life science and chemistry market.
New items include chromatography and sample-storage vials in various styles such as flat/conical bottom, threaded and so on.
Other useful features include attached closures and printed volume-measurement lines for high recovery and security.
New closures, with multiple cap and liner combinations, are available in a variety of materials with a wide range of chemical/temperature-resistance properties.
Also available are various value-added services such as: custom vials manufactured in clear Kimax KG-33 or amber 203 borosilicate glass to customers' exact specifications, bar-coding and tare weighing with supporting documentation.
Laser-etched barcodes for permanent sample IDs (PSID) are available in ceramic paint or adhesive labels with a range of symbologies that includes codes 39, 128, I 2 of 5 and 2D data matrix.
The majority of Kimble Chase's vials are manufactured in ISO-9001 complaint facilities in the US.
Because all glass items from the company are crafted initially from sand, product quality is monitored from raw material through to finished product with full traceability.
