Storage Vials 10ml (5-Pack)

Overview

This storage vial pack contains 5 borosilicate glass vials specifically designed for long-term storage of reconstituted peptide solutions. Each 10ml vial is equipped with a rubber septum stopper and aluminum crimp seal, providing secure closure and maintaining sterility over extended storage periods. Type I borosilicate glass meets USP pharmaceutical standards and provides superior chemical resistance compared to standard glass. These vials are essential for researchers working with reconstituted peptides that require storage between experimental sessions.

Specifications

Material Properties

• Type I Borosilicate Glass: Superior chemical inertness ensures no leaching of glass components into stored peptide solutions. Meets USP pharmaceutical-grade standards for injectable and storage solutions.
• Rubber Septum: Medical-grade rubber provides consistent needle access through multiple insertions without compromising integrity. Allows safe withdrawal of solutions using insulin syringes.
• Aluminum Crimp Seal: Provides excellent barrier protection against atmospheric contamination and moisture. The aluminum material prevents gas exchange while maintaining visual access to contents.

Features and Benefits

• Long-Term Storage: Type I borosilicate glass provides excellent stability for extended storage of reconstituted peptide solutions.
• Needle Access: Rubber septum allows repeated needle access for solution withdrawal without compromising sterility of remaining contents.
• Autoclavable Design: Vials can be sterilized by autoclaving (121°C, 15-30 minutes) before filling if additional sterilization is required by protocols.
• Clear Visibility: Clear glass allows visual inspection of solution status, concentration clarity, and any potential precipitation or contamination.
• Amber Glass Option: For researchers working with light-sensitive compounds, amber glass vials are available to reduce photodegradation.
• Durable Closure: Aluminum crimp seal provides secure, tamper-evident closure for storage integrity and regulatory compliance.

Proper Labeling and Storage

Labeling: Each vial should be clearly labeled with the following information:

• Peptide name and sequence
• Concentration (mg/ml)
• Date of reconstitution
• Storage temperature requirement
• Researcher name or initials
• Batch number (if applicable)
• Expected expiration date

Storage Tips:

• Store filled vials at appropriate temperature per peptide specifications (typically 2-8°C for reconstituted peptides).
• Protect from light exposure, especially if storing for extended periods.
• Minimize air space in vial to reduce oxidation—fill to appropriate level and seal promptly.
• Store vials upright on appropriate racks or in organized storage systems.
• Keep detailed inventory of stored peptide solutions with relevant storage parameters.
• Check vials regularly for signs of contamination (cloudiness, discoloration, precipitation).

Safe Handling and Use

• Needle Insertion: Always use sterile 25-29 gauge needles for vial access. Insert at a slight angle to avoid coring the rubber septum.
• Solution Withdrawal: Use insulin syringes with ultra-fine needles to minimize rubber particulate shedding into solutions.
• Cleaning Before Use: Wipe rubber septa with alcohol prep pads before each access point.
• Replacement Septa: If rubber septa become damaged or contaminated, replacement rubber stoppers are available separately.
