How to Select the Right Laboratory Container
Proper container selection depends on the sample, analytical method, storage conditions, and closure design. Before ordering, consider:
- Material compatibility: Evaluate glass, HDPE, polypropylene, and liner materials against the substances being handled.
- Capacity and geometry: Match nominal volume, opening size, container shape, and required sample accessibility.
- Closure compatibility: Confirm thread finish, cap dimensions, liner construction, and sealing requirements.
- Application: Consider whether the container will be used for sampling, storage, analytical testing, or specialized procedures.
- Documentation: Verify sterilization, cleaning, temperature, and other performance requirements against the specific manufacturer's product documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DWK Life Sciences known for?
DWK Life Sciences develops and manufactures laboratory glassware, plastic containers, vials, closures, and other scientific products through brands including WHEATON, DURAN, and KIMBLE.
How do I choose a compatible vial cap?
Match the manufacturer's specified neck or closure finish, dimensions, and liner material. A cap's appearance alone does not establish compatibility, and different liner materials can have different chemical resistance properties.
Are all DWK laboratory containers sterile or cleanroom-certified?
No. Sterility, cleanliness, packaging, and processing characteristics vary by product. Review the individual manufacturer's specifications before selecting containers for controlled or regulated environments.
