Microsampling Vials

Cronus Champagne Vials

Cronus Champagne vials handle small volumes without the need for inserts or supports.

  • 1.5ml, 12x32mm champagne vials have a dead volume of just 15µl 
  • 3.5ml, 15x45mm champagne vials have a dead volume of just 20µl.

Standard dimensions ensure the vials will work with most autosamplers and therefore offer an economical and flexible solution for applications involving both small and large samples.

Champagne vials are available in clear, amber or black glass. Black champagne vials are completely opaque and therefore ideal for use with light sensitive samples where amber glass is not enough to prevent sample reaction or degradation.

Cronus X-Vials

Cronus X-vials are ideal for small samples with a nominal volume of less than 350µl and cost less than the price of using a separate vial with insert. The residual dead volume is less than 10µl.

The vials have a conical-tubular insert permanently fused inside a standard 12x32mm autosampler vial. This makes X-vials very robust and guarantees correct vertical alignment eliminating the possibility of needle breakage.

Cronus X-Vial Precision

Cronus X-vial precision contain a precision drawn insert with a residual dead volume of less than 5µl.

Like the standard X-Vial,  the  X-Vial Precision has the insert integrated into the body of a 2 ml vial, but the insert itself is closed with the cap. Because the 250 µl insert itself is sealed, the X-Vial Precision is ideal for use with volatile samples, since no sample vapour escapes into the hollow space between vial and insert.

  • Total sample recovery
  • Ideal if your autosampler uses a side port needle
  • Eliminates sample evaporation - the insert itself is sealed with the closure.
  • Standard 12x32mm dimensions and base level - can be used without adjustment of autosampler
  • Ideal for micro reactions
  • Suitable for volatile samples and lyophilisation where samples may be shaken
  • Ideal when a sample is stored in the fridge over an extended period of time
