Many people in chromatography get confused between silanized vials and deactivated vials because the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Let me break it down clearly: 1. Silanized Vials 👉 Think of silanization as “making the glass surface less sticky” for analytes. 2. Deactivated

Introduction In high-sensitivity chromatography workflows, even the tiniest variable can affect your results—especially when working with trace-level analytes, biological matrices, or labile compounds. One such variable that often gets overlooked? The vial. Yes, the HPLC vial—specifically its adsorptive properties—can have a big impact on your data. If your sample is

Introduction When it comes to HPLC vial performance, septa are often the unsung heroes—or culprits. The septa (or septum) sits at the center of your vial cap and forms the first barrier between your sample and the outside world. Whether you’re running an automated injection system or manually injecting critical

Introduction After you’ve wrapped up an HPLC analysis, it’s easy to focus on the chromatogram and forget about the leftover sample still sitting in the vial. But here’s the thing—how you store that vial matters. A lot. Improper vial storage can lead to solvent evaporation, sample degradation, cross-contamination, or worse—loss

Introduction When you’re working with LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), the smallest detail can make or break your results. One such detail that’s often overlooked? The HPLC vial. While it may seem like a basic container, in the context of LC-MS, your choice of vial has a direct impact on sample

Introduction One of the most overlooked aspects of HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) is ensuring compatibility between vials and autosamplers. It may seem like a small detail, but using incompatible vials can lead to injection errors, sample loss, and reduced accuracy in your analysis. Whether you’re dealing with manual injection systems
