Reach new levels of efficiency with Waters proven expertise

Waters provides certified sample vials with defined and tested cleanliness levels, backed by over 20 years of expertise. These vials are designed to meet the demands of validated and trace-level analyses, as well as high levels of regulatory compliance. We’ve engineered the surfaces of several vial types to minimize adsorption of both large and small molecules. Additionally, some of our certified vials help maintain a pH away from neutral, reducing analyte degradation and ghost peaks. With this expertise, Waters certified vials deliver trusted quality—offering the ideal balance of performance and price.
