The Industry’s Most Versatile Autosampler Vials
Not All Autosampler Vial Companies Are Created Equal
MicroLiter was founded in 1996 to supply autosampler vials and consumables
for the industry’s leading autosamplers. When deciding how to position our
company within the multitude of other companies offering vials, we made
a fundamental decision to only offer products that offered proven stable
performance and avoid those products that had a wide range of tolerances
that could impede performance of the autosampler.
We chose to develop products that met the requirements of the customers’
demands but also format them in ways that allowed for more efficient transfer
of samples from the prep lab to the autosampler. At the same time we also
realized that the autosampler vials we offered hold the most expensive
solutions produced by the lab. No matter how the sample was prepped, our
autosampler vial was the last sample container your sample touched before it
became a hazardous waste in the lab. We take this very seriously.
Class 10,000 Clean Room Packed Vials
MicroLiter’s stringent cleaning of every autosampler vial that enters our facility
makes certain that we provide you with a clean vial for your prepared sample.
Some of our competitors offer “Certified Vials.” Could we offer them? Sure,
but why? We believe that our competition introduced these vials to compete
against our Class 10,000 Clean Room product line when they simply use the
lot numbers provided by their vendor. To compete they randomly test a lot by
LC / MS and charge you for doing so. That’s not the case at MicroLiter. We clean
every vial. We understand the specifications of the autosamplers we support.
Consequently, the drawings we’ve developed to produce the vials we sell are
more detailed than the base drawings of other companies. Upon delivery to
our facility we receive the vials, check them against our drawings then clean
them using our unique process and repackage them in a certified Class 10,000
Clean Room.
The Correct Closures & The Correct Packaging
Closures by their very nature can never be offered as a Class 10,000 Clean Room
product unless we individually wrapped each cap with and without septum
that we provide. What we offer is a means of delivery that has a user-friendly
package that keeps the products clean during transportation to your lab. Once
on site we then offer you a dispenser that our packaging integrates with that
assists our customers in keeping the closures clean. We work to continually
improve the packaging and offer our three inch tubes presealed on one end to
reduce our handling of these items to a minimum. Each improvement reduces
waste and contamination of the closures.
User-Beneficial Improvements Cost You No More
Unlike our competition, we do not charge you for the extra attention to
cleanliness. In fact we take it one step forward by packaging closures in packs
of 50 that can be stored in the supplies storeroom in your facility to keep them
organized until you are ready to use them.
Our product numbers are frequently cross-referenced to other brands as
equivalent. We believe this is unfortunate because there is a clear difference in
packaging and manufacturing specifications.
