Thanks to the invention of vial inserts, valuable limited-volume samples can effortlessly be placed into a full-capacity vial for analysis by maximizing sample retrieval, thereby making the sampling process more efficient.
There are two key elements that are necessary to create the ‘gold standard’ of vial inserts. The first is a precision-formed mandrel interior that creates a uniform shape, allowing you to produce and publish reproducible results of the highest quality. The second is the placement of polymer feet (a bottom spring) that self-centers the insert within the vial, and ensures that the autosampler syringe needle gets every last bit of your sample....
