Vials
Premium Laboratory Vials for Reliable Sample Storage and Analysis
Vials are essential tools for sample storage, preparation, and analysis across life science, pharmaceutical, and general laboratory settings. MIDSCI™ offers a wide selection of high‑quality lab vials, ranging from cryogenic vials and Drosophila vials to scintillation vials, designed to protect sensitive samples, reduce evaporation, and maintain compatibility with autosamplers, chromatography systems, and cryogenic storage workflows. With options available in glass, amber glass, and durable plastics, our vials support chemical resistance, secure sealing, and consistent performance in demanding environments.
Whether you're storing reagents, preserving biological materials, or preparing samples, MIDSCI™ vials help ensure reliable results and secure sample integrity in any research workflow.

Scintillation Vials
High quality scintillation vials available in three sizes to satisfy a range of applications. Designed to provide consistently low background counts and are suitable for low activity counting. The smaller sizes are very economical to use since they require smaller quantities of solvent.
The 20 mL Scintillation Vial has multiple uses in scintillation counting, gamma counting, chromatography, sample storage and culturing. Because of its leak-tight cap it is also commonly used to store and transport histological specimens in 10% formalin. This scintillation vial provides a high degree of resistance to organic solvents and sufficient translucence so that reagent levels can be easily seen. The unique thread design of the closure permits the vial to be sealed tight with an easy 1/4 turn and with minimum pressure.
The 6.5 mL Scintillation Vials are securely sealed by simply snapping the caps on. The cap is conveniently removed with an easy 1/4 turn to the left.
The 4 mL Polyethylene Scintillation Vial uses a full turn polypropylene screw cap. This small volume scintillation vial is the most economical size to use because it requires the least amount of solvent.
20mL Clear Headspace Vial with Flat bottom
Consistently and Quality Made with Affordable Prices: Excellence in Chromatography
Standard 20mm aluminum seal Headspace Vials with Flat Bottoms that form a tight seal with closure for accurate analysis and reproducible results. They are especially useful to heat the samples until the concentration of the gas and liquid phases are in equilibrium so samples can then be taken from the gas phase (headspace).
Clear Headspace Vials with Flat bottoms are available in clear type I borosilicate glass with crimp finishes and can be perfectly sealed with 20 mm Poly Crimp⢠Seal or Aluminum Seals - use with Agilent, Hewlett-Packard, Carlo Erba, Perkin Elmer and Shimadzu analyzers.
