DWK 224882 WHEATON® LAB FILE® Sample Vials, Clear, 4mL Standard Vials With Caps Attached, 14B Rubber

The WHEATON® LAB FILE® 224882 is a 4 mL clear borosilicate glass sample vial supplied with an attached 13-425 black phenolic screw cap featuring a 14B rubber liner. The manufacturer positions the 14B rubber-lined closure primarily for compatible aqueous samples.

The vial belongs to WHEATON's standard-height LAB FILE® sample-vial family. Partitioned trays support sample organization, and the preattached cap presentation helps keep the intended closure with the vial.

For successful selection, evaluate the glass, phenolic cap, and rubber liner together. Glass compatibility alone does not establish suitability of the complete assembled container.

Important: Nominal capacity does not establish calibrated volumetric accuracy, usable fill volume, pressure resistance, or sample compatibility. Those properties must be evaluated according to the intended application.

WHEATON 224882 is manufactured from clear borosilicate glass tubing. The manufacturer identifies its glass as Clear Type 1A Borosilicate and describes the LAB FILE® clear sample-vial family as Type I borosilicate glass.

Borosilicate glass is used in laboratory applications where chemical resistance and thermal performance are important. However, exact suitability depends on the glass composition and the intended chemical and processing conditions.

The 13-425 designation identifies the vial's screw-thread finish. The manufacturer-supplied closure is a black phenolic solid-top cap containing a 14B rubber liner.

A solid-top screw cap is not the same as an open-top cap fitted with a pierceable septum. Do not assume syringe access, repeated puncture performance, or autosampler compatibility based solely on the cap's rubber liner.

Replacement caps are available within the manufacturer's broader vial program, but substitute closures must be checked for finish, liner material, and sealing suitability before use.

The LAB FILE® family includes different cap-liner constructions for different sample chemistries. The correct liner is a critical part of sample compatibility and container-closure performance.

Related manufacturer configuration: WHEATON W224582 uses a clear 4 mL vial with PTFE/14B rubber-lined cap. Contact SOSCleanroom to confirm its availability and suitability for the application.

DWK describes the LAB FILE® configuration as vials with caps attached. This presentation helps maintain cleanliness by keeping the intended closure with the vial during supply and handling.

The attached designation does not establish that the cap is permanently tethered, hinged, or incapable of removal. It should also not be interpreted as a sterile or hermetically sealed supply state.

Other WHEATON vial families supply caps separately. Those configurations may have different packaging, pricing, and case quantities. Select the catalog number that matches the laboratory's handling and receiving requirements.

LAB FILE® uses partitioned trays that help organize laboratory sample vials. This packaging provides a convenient way to inventory empty containers or organize stored samples.

Catalog 224882 contains 144 vials with caps per case. An independent manufacturer-listed numeric inner-pack count has not been established in the reviewed item specifications.

Tray packaging should not be confused with a sterile barrier or an ISO cleanroom processing certification. Evaluate the actual supplied packaging before controlled-area introduction.

The manufacturer's catalog-specific specifications identify the following accessory references:

These are accessory references, not accessories identified as included in the 224882 vial case. Contact SOSCleanroom to confirm available storage options and the desired configuration.

DWK identifies the LAB FILE® sample vials and caps as autoclavable. This is a manufacturer-described processing capability.

It does not independently establish the suitability of every complete, tightly closed, filled vial assembly for the same autoclave conditions. The effects of processing on the rubber liner and subsequent seal performance must be evaluated for the actual procedure.

The facility should qualify cleaning, loading, closure conditions, processing, cooling, and any required post-processing inspection before routine use.

Clear borosilicate glass offers useful laboratory chemical resistance, but compatibility and sample integrity depend on the actual formulation, concentration, storage temperature, and exposure duration.

The cap and liner should be assessed alongside the glass. Depending on the method, qualification may include extractables, sample adsorption, evaporation, contamination, and analytical recovery.

• Glass contact: Evaluate the sample against clear borosilicate glass.
• Rubber liner contact: Confirm suitability for the actual aqueous formulation.
• Storage period: Establish acceptable sample stability for the required duration.
• Volatile contents: Confirm evaporation and seal-performance requirements.
• Analytical sensitivity: Evaluate potential extractables or sample interactions when method limits require it.

These are qualification considerations, not documented performance values for every sample or analytical method.

Related configurations are not automatic replacements for an approved sample-vial method. Verify closure materials, dimensions, case quantities, and required labeling features.

Contact SOSCleanroom for assistance obtaining pricing and availability for another WHEATON configuration.

• Verify product identity: Confirm WHEATON catalog number 224882, 4 mL clear vial, and 144-count case.
• Inspect the glass: Check for chips, cracks, contamination, or damaged threads.
• Verify closure: Confirm that the black phenolic screw cap and 14B rubber liner are present.
• Inspect liner condition: Check for visible damage, displacement, or contamination.
• Inspect packaging: Review the condition of the LAB FILE® trays and investigate broken or damaged vials.
• Verify processing status: Follow the facility's requirements for cleaning, preparation, and sterilization.
• Maintain sample identification: Use the required labeling and tracking procedures.

The manufacturer item-setup information lists room-temperature conditions for shipping and storage of the supplied empty vials.

Protect the glass from impact and maintain the laboratory's required cleanliness and identification controls. Keep the closure and liner free from damage or contamination before use.

The reviewed manufacturer documents do not establish a universal shelf life for filled samples, an unlimited closure-reuse life, or a validated low-temperature storage range for every sample-and-liner combination.

Although LAB FILE® packaging is intended to help maintain sample-vial cleanliness, the reviewed product records do not establish an ISO cleanroom classification, supplied sterile designation, or quantitative particle-release specification.

For controlled-environment applications, qualify the glass vial, cap liner, packaging, preparation process, and material-transfer procedure according to the facility's contamination control requirements.
