SureSTART™ 20 mL Glass Screw Top Storage & EPA Vials, Level 2, Clear, Flat Bottom

Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ 20 mL EPA Certified Screw Top Vials (Level 2) are designed for routine QA/QC and high-throughput analytical applications as well as storage of samples. Made with high-purity clear or amber glass, these vials minimize metal content, extractables, and leachables - critical for maintaining sample integrity and meeting US, EU, and JPN Pharmacopeia standards.

Each vial is Specification Certified to ensure their physical dimensions and autosampler compatibility. Combine with Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ 20 mm screw caps and septa to ensure optimal performance.

Level 100 EPA Vials

Our Level 100 EPA vials are processed and packaged under a strict registered ISO Quality Management System. The products are not certified to EPA standards or pre-cleaned. Every case of product is labelled with its production number and is custody sealed to ensure reliable chain-of-custody.

EPA screw vials convenience kits are recommended for discrete water sampling under:

• EPA 40 CFR 136 'Guidelines for Establishing Test Procedures for the Analysis of Pollutants'
• EPA 40 CFR 141 'National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Control of Trihalomethanes in Drinking Water'

The SureSTART Performance Levels

SureSTART vials, caps, inserts, septa, and kits are available in three performance levels. Now you can choose the products that best suit your analytical, performance, or budget needs.

• Level 1: Everyday analysis
Chromatography approved
SureSTART Level 1 products are cost optimized, suitable for all instrument types, and quality tested to deliver the performance, sample security, and reproducibility you need for everyday analyses. They are an ideal solution for verifying compound presence and quantification using detection techniques such as UV, RI, and FID.

• Level 2: High-throughput analysis
When robustness and reproducibility are key
SureSTART Level 2 vials have very low metal contents and leachables to ensure that they conform to the high standards you need to meet your regulatory requirements. The septa are conditioned to provide a very low level of chromatographic extractables. These products support routine analyses and deliver high quality data with an uninterrupted workflow.

• Level 3: High performance
When sensitivity is a must
SureSTART Level 3 products are packed in a clean environment according to our own hygiene concept and regulations to protect against contaminating factors. The vials contain the lowest levels of extractable metals and leachables to ensure consistent, reproducible sensitivity and selectivity for the most challenging analytes. The septa are conditioned to provide the lowest level of chromatographic extractables. Choose these products for ultimate method performance and high levels of and sample security and integrity.

All SureSTART vials, closures, and septa are certified to meet physical parameter specifications as part of our manufacturing process.
