Frequently Asked Questions
Are these vials sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For applications requiring a sterile transport vial, a sterile-grade product should be selected instead.
Do the vials arrive with caps already attached?
Yes. The assembled format means each vial ships with its cap integrated, so they are ready for immediate use with no separate assembly step required.
Are these vials compatible with LIMS barcode scanning?
The vial surface is compatible with standard laboratory labels, supporting barcode scanning and LIMS specimen tracking workflows used in clinical microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and environmental testing labs.
