What is the difference between the SureSTART Performance Level 1, Performance Level 2, and Performance Level 3 vials?
All glass vials found within the three different performance levels are made from Type 1 Class A Borosilicate glass. This type of glass has excellent chemical resistance properties that make it ideal for the containment or storage of acidic, neutral and alkaline samples/analytes. The vials also have high temperature resistance and are suitable for use at temperatures between -50 degrees C to 120 degrees C (although a rapid change in temperature of the products should be avoided).
The Performance Level 1 vials are designed to identify those which are suitable for simple routine, testing with limited budget. Performance Level 1 glass vials have a single wavy line.
For most analytical requirements, the Performance Level 2 products will be suitable for use with higher sensitivity methods while maintaining throughput. Performance Level 2 glass vials have two wavy lines.
For the most stringent analytical requirements, the Performance Level 3 products have advanced features which make them suitable for use with difficult samples in terms of chemistry and available sample volume. All Performance Level 3 products are made from 33-expansion glass and these vials have three wavy lines.
