Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ 2 mL GOLD-Grade Glass Screw and Crimp Top Vials (Level 3) are the elite choice for high-sensitivity LC-MS, GC-MS, and UHPLC workflows where analytes such as polar compounds or those affected by pH changes demand maximum sample stability and ultra-low adsorption.

These vials are made from Thermo Scientific™ GOLD-Grade low-adsorption glass, offering:

  • Highest glass purity available
  • Lowest surface activity
  • Minimal pH shift and ultra-low adsorption for trace-level analysis.

The screw-top version features Thermo Scientific™ SureStop™ technology, which reduces cap tilt, septum push-through, and evaporation – maintaining sample integrity throughout demanding analyses. To ensure optimal performance, pair with Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ Advanced Vial Closure System (AVCS™) 9 mm caps and septa.

The crimp-top version, combine with 11 mm Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ crimp caps and septa. This will provide a tight, solvent-resistant seal ideal for volatile samples and long-run LC/GC applications, ensuring maximum sample security under challenging conditions.

Key Features

  • Constructed from ultra-pure, low-adsorption glass to reduce analyte interaction, minimizing pH shift for trace and sensitive compound analysis
  • Offered in screw-top and crimp-top formats
  • Screw top vials include SureStop™ technology for improved sealing consistency – pair screw top vials with SureSTART™ 9 mm AVCS™ screw caps and septa for a secure, leak-free seal
  • Crimp top vials, when paired with 11 mm Thermo Scientific™ SureSTART™ crimp caps and septa, deliver tight, solvent-resistant seals for volatile samples and extended run times. Use Thermo Scientific™ manual or electronic crimpers and decrimpers to seal and remove your crimp caps
  • Write-on patch for sample labeling and tracking

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What type of vial should I use for chromatographic/chromatogenic analysis of polar compounds?

For very polar compounds, including ionizable biomolecules and inorganic ions, the use of a plastic vial may be considered. Polypropylene vials are included in the SureSTART range as a Level 1 range of products.

Most polar analytes can be analyzed successfully in glass vials with few problems at normal analytical levels. Low concentrations may require investigation of deactivated vials, but in most cases the control of the sample pH is enough to maintain linearity.

Type 1 neutral borosilicate glass is suitable for neutral/acid samples with little change of pH caused by the glass surface.

When would I need inert vials for my chromatography samples?

For analysis of compounds which show interactions with untreated glass surfaces, it may be necessary to use a deactivated glass vial. The effect of adsorption is most apparent when dealing with very low concentrations of the sample. It is likely that this effect will only be identified during calibration. Analytical results will show poor reproducibility and linearity for active samples while non-adsorbing species show good results.

Inert glass products can be found in Performance level 3, and include silanized glass and GOLD-grade technology deactivated glass.

What are SureStop vials?

In addition to the features on standard 2 mL vials, SureStop vials also have a patented definite stop point (alignment ring) in the design of the vial finish. This prevents the vial from being an optimal seal, which eliminates under- and over-sealing by the cap/closure and user-to-user variance.

SureStop vials are designed for use with Advanced Vial Closure System (AVCS) screw caps. They improve transfer reliability and give a more secure liquid seal than standard screw vials. SureStop vials are available as a 2 mL as either clear or amber options and are highly recommended for use with GC and LC applications.
