A Clear glass screw-top vial designed for LC/MS applications (such as the **LCMS Certified Clear Glass Screw Top Vial)
Sample introduction for LC-MS/LC-MS/MS: You prepare a liquid sample (e.g., a processed extract, diluted analyte, metabolite mixture) and transfer it into the vial. The autosampler of the liquid chromatography (LC) instrument loads the vial and injects a volume through the cap septum.
Storage of analytical samples: After sample prep (extraction, filtration, dilution), you store the aliquot in the screw top vial until analysis. Because glass is inert and clean (especially the “LCMS certified” kind), it helps maintain sample integrity.
Low-volume/high-sensitivity work: For trace analysis via mass spectrometry, contamination or leachables may create background “noise.” Using vials certified for LC/MS helps reduce such artefacts.
