Vials, Plates, and Certified Containers

Maximize lab efficiency with fewer failed assays and lower instrument downtime Reducing failed assays from unknown contaminant peaks and limiting instrument downtime from out of specification vials or septa is a priority for your lab. Waters sample vials, caps & septa can help you do just that. Quality controlled via a multi-step certification process, we ensure that Waters Certified vials meet and maintain specified levels of cleanliness, glass surface properties, controlled pH shifts and adsorptive losses - from batch to batch and vial to vial. Choosing the right sample vial for small and large molecule HPLC or UHPLC applications for UV and MS can help meeting the business demand of your laboratory and the requirement of delivering the result with the best quality needed for your analysis.

The vial of choice for MS applications The analysis of low abundance species, pH sensitive analytes or not yet well understood compound mixtures benefit from consistent and well controlled vial surfaces. The glass surface of TruView pH Control LCMS Certified Vials minimizes pH shifts away from the neutral and thus eliminates unwanted reactions and resulting ghost peaks. The surface of the glass vials also show low adsorption characteristics. This is relevant in laboratories requiring a high level of vial-to vial reproducibility for high value samples. TruView autosampler vials are rigorously tested for dimensional characteristics, cleanliness with mass spectrometry, and adsorption using a variety of techniques including UPLC-UV and UPLC-MS and impact on analyte pH. Unlike today’s standard vials, TruView Vials are the only vials tested and certified for low analyte adsorption at 1 ng/mL and a maximum pH shift – making them the ideal solution for MS applications.

Reduce sample losses due to non-specific binding (NSB) Successfully quantitating proteins and peptides with LC–MS is often more challenging than doing so for small molecules. Their large and complex structure requires a different approach to LC–MS method development and may also cause other unique problems like nonspecific adsorption (or nonspecific binding). Proteins and peptides in solution tend to stick to the surfaces they encounter. Autosampler-ready QuanRecovery Vials and Plates with MaxPeak High Performance Surfaces (HPS) are designed to enable scientists like you to meet recovery, sensitivity and reproducibility challenges in LC-MS peptide and protein quantification. By reducing sample losses from non-specific binding (NSB) and ionic interactions, QuanRecovery Vials and Plates provide your lab greater confidence in analytical results and fewer long-term assay repeatability problems.

Broad selection of high-quality sample and collection plates Waters 96-well and 384-well plates are adherent to ANSI and SBS standards and are suitable for LC autosamplers and liquid handling robots. Waters plates are made from polypropylene (PP) for chemical resistance, and specialty 96-well plates with glass inserts are available for samples that are not suitable for polypropylene containers.

Solvent and mobile-phase bottles for any LC system Mobile phase containers are critical for every chromatography and mass spectrometry scientist, but it’s important they be free from extraneous peaks and background noise that may result from high total organic carbon (TOC). Waters Certified Containers are designed with extra attention to detail for the cleanest and highest-quality mobile phase reservoirs, which can be critical when high sensitivity matters most. Each Certified Container is constructed of Type 1, Class A borosilicate glass processed to contain <15 ppb TOC, making them ultra-clean for high-sensitivity chromatography or massspectrometry analysis. To maintain this level of cleanliness after manufacture, each Certified Container is individually sealed in a Mylar bag to prevent particulate and phthalate contamination. To assist with contamination prevention and facilitate recommended care and use, each container carries the Waters Certified mark for easy differentiation in operational use and comes with a Certificate of Analysis documenting TOC level.
