Premium Vials From The Lab For Various Scientific Applications

Vials are a must-have in laboratory processes for storing, preserving and transporting biological specimens, instruments, reagents, chemicals and other laboratory items.

As part of the vials division, LDP provides a full range of lab vials which consists of cryo vials, sample vials, storage vials, and other specialty vials incorporated with trusted laboratory brands from all over the world.

Our vials are manufactured from a wide array of materials such as glass, polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), and in diverse sizes to cater to microbiology, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research laboratories, and many other scientific fields.

Different Types of Laboratory Vials We Offer

🔬 Cryo Vials

Designed specifically for the long-term preservation of biological materials such as cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Cryo vials can endure ultra-low temperatures of up to -196°C and are compatible with liquid nitrogen storage systems.

Primary Distinguishing Characteristics:

  • Leak-proof screw caps with silicone O-ring closures
  • Sterile, RNase/DNase free
  • Internal or external thread options
  • Graduated markings for volume measuring
  • Self-standing or round-bottom shapes

🧪 General Purpose Vials

These encompass sample vials, storage vials, and other laboratory vials designed to contain reagents, solvents, or biological materials.

Primary Functions:

  • Mid- or long-term retention of biological samples
  • Sample transport within clinical laboratories and Biobank facilities
  • Preparation of chemical solutions and reagents
  • Diagnosis, testing, and scientific research

Other types we provide are centrifuge injection vials and specialty vials designed for chemical resistance.

Materials and Configurations

🧴 Vials of Polypropylene (PP)

  • Vials are Lightweight and resistant to chemical reactions.
  • Vials are Ideal for the biological sample’s storage
  • Vials are autoclavable. Also, they are shatter resistant.

🧫 Glass Vials

  • Very transparent, and glass is chemically inactive. Thus, glass vials are good for chemical storage or spectroscopy.
  • Glass vials are Preferred in analytical procedures.

🧯 Vials of Polyethylene (PE)

  • They are used widely for disposable storage.
  • Vials are useful in laboratories that deal with mildly active reagents.

Every type of vial can be purchased sterile or non-sterile. They can be sealed with screw caps, crimp caps, flip tops, or snap caps depending on the intended use.
