Using Sterile Vials

Defined Tag: Sterile Vials.

Sterile vials are most commonly used in hospitals, clinics, medical testing centers and doctor's offices and used to medicinal injections or blood draws. Sterile vials are small glass or plastic bottles used for the storage of the medicine, blood or other ingredients that must be kept sterile. Depending on the supplier of the sterile vials, they can be supplied in amber or clear glass, plastic, and in various configurations of features and sizes. Sterile vials are often used for storage of its ingredients and for collecting samples that must be kept clean, and make it simple for professionals to know the amount inside of the container. The mouth of a vial can either be a standard size or wide mouth for facilitation of adding and dispensing samples through the use of a medicinal syringe. The connection type for vials is typically one of five standard types: screw thread, crimp, snap seal, snap ring and RAM for robotics. A screw thread connection is an external threaded connection. A crimp style connection is not threaded; a cap would "crimp" on. A snap seal connection is a special style of crimp that allows a seal to snap on. A snap ring connection is a special style of crimp that allows a ring to snap on to the vial. RAM for robotics is a special style of thread designed for robotic applications.

Sterile vials are manufactured in numerous volumes, diameters and heights. The volume of the vial is the maximum amount of sample that the vial can hold. The outer diameter of the vial is important in applications where an autosampler would be used. The height of the vial is important in applications where an autosampler would be used.

Features important in specifying vials include limited volume inserts, high recovery, shell vial, marking spots, and self-centering springs. Limited volume inserts are used to limit the volume that the vial can contain.  High recovery vials allow for a maximum amount of the sample to be recovered.  A shell vial is an inexpensive thin walled cylinder.  Marking spots are square or graduated spots to denote volumes.  Self-centering springs allow for re-centering when used with an autosampler.

Any medical worker such as a doctor, nurse or sterile processing technician should be familiar with the proper handling and usage of sterile vials.
