Fisherbrand Chromatography Vials and Closures
Fisher Scientific offers a comprehensive range of chromatography consumables including glass autosampler vials, polypropylene PP or polymethylpentene TPX chromatography vials, microvials, micro-inserts, top closures, a broad variety of different septa materials for almost all applications, vials racks, microplates as well as crimping/decapping tools.
Our Fisherbrand range of autosampler vials are used with GC and LC autosamplers or other automated instruments, not only are their physical specifications and dimensions crucial for trouble-free operation, but they also have to fulfill strict requirements regarding inertness and cleanliness such that contamination is minimised and analytical results are not compromised.To select the appropriate chromatography vials for your chemicals and for your autosampler equipment, simply use:
- The autosampler compatibility chart to find out the right vials range for almost all LC, LC-MS, GC, GC-MS instrument.
- The chemical compatibility chart to confirm the vials, closures and septa materials compatibility with more than 200 chemicals.
Crimp Neck Vials 8mm range
These vials are preferentially used on instruments from following manufacturers Agilent, Beckman, Carlo Erba, CTC, Fisons, PerkinElmer, Shimadzy, Thermo Scientific, VWR (Merck™/Hitachi).

A broad selection of ND8* crimp neck vials and microvials are available, which can closed with 8 mmm aluminium caps, 9mm PE caps or 8mm push-on caps. Note that some microvials may need an adapter for full autosampler compatibility as typically they have a conical base and are therefore not free-standing.

Shell Vials
These vials are preferentially used on autosampler models from following manufacturers: Alcott, Gilson, Shimadzu and Waters (Wisp 96 48-postion carousel). Refer to the Autosampler Compatibility Chart for further information.
Headspace vials
As headspace vials have to withstand high internal pressures, almost all vials featured below have a wall thickness of 1,2mm to prevent bursting. Contrary to widespread opinion the seal and not the vial represents the weakest part of the whole vial assembly. Under pressure, the septa will press and bulge against the aluminium cap with such force that the cap is torn apart.
Refer to the Headspace vial compatibility chart to help you quickly identify those consumables (vials and seals) suited to your own instruments.
- Headspace crimp or screw ND18 and ND20 Vials

Snap Cap Vials ND18 and ND22
Easy to handle and inexpensive storage vials with push-on snap caps. For storage of powders and solids. No liners required in the cap.
Screw Neck Vials EPA and vials for storage purposes
The EPA vials are preferentially used on autosampler models from the following manufacturers: Agilent, Dionew, Shimadzu, Tekmar, Thermo Scientific and Varian. Refer to the Autosampler Compatibility Chart for further information.
