MicroSolv’s “Centre Draining Maximum Recovery” (CDMR) vial and bottle design allows liquid samples to flow freely and completely to the bottom of the glass vial or bottle into a conical or concave reservoir. This is especially useful if maximum recovery of a sample is required.

The patented CDMR vial manufacturing process and design results in an internal glass surface that is virtually seamless, eliminating the “internal ridge” that may result in some vial designs when the vial blank is fused to the vial bottom. This “internal ridge” can retain up to 17ul of fluid sample in a 1.8ml vial....
