3-16-2015 - EcoPure brand caps for chromatography vials...

EcoPure brand caps for chromatography vials offer an economical, very clean, contaminate-free closure designed to fit most 12 x 32mm (2ml) HPLC and GC vials. Their proprietary one piece polymer blend and unique sealing cone assures the lightest puncture force and best sealing system for a low cost, single piece cap. Since there is no split septa, the caps can be used for either analysis or for long term storage with no evaporative loss. No septa means no failed samples due to septa dislodging into vial. And no silicone means no worries about potential unidentifiable peaks from silicone layer contaminants, especially using LC/MS.
Worldwide Glass Resources, Inc is a manufacturer of Headspace vials, chromatography vials, microwave vials, sample (dram) vials, high recovery vials and inserts. Our services include custom engineered vials, OEM & private label, LC & MS vial certifications, tare-weigh & custom bar-coding, and vial/insert deactivation.

5-23-2014 - Press Release – New from Worldwide Glass Resources, Inc - Microwave Vial Adapter System

1052vial

Worldwide Glass Resources, Inc has expanded its microwave vial portfolio to include a Microwave Vial Adapter.

Save time and maximize sample recovery with this unique microwave vial adapter system. After a sample is dissolved in solvent and transferred to a microwave vial, this adapter and bump trap assembly allow the sample to be directly concentrated in the vial. The standard taper joint at the top of the adapter provides direct connection to a rotary evaporator. The trap insert is made from PTFE and guards against bumping of the solvents under vacuum conditions while allowing the sample solution to drain back to the vial. Flexible by design, this system adapts to all sizes of standard microwave vials with crimp-style finishes. It can also be used with other vacuum or drying gas systems that utilize standard taper joints.

The borosilicate glass bump trap incorporates a square beaded joint at the top and a GL-25 threaded connector with PBT cap at the bottom.

Basic Conception of Process (Pre-Reaction)

1. Dissolve solid starting material in volatile solvent to insure complete transfer of product.

2. Pipette dissolved starting materials into microwave vial.

3. Connect microwave vial to adapter system. Concentrate starting material (removal of volatile solvent) by means of rotary evaporator process (controlled temperature and reduced pressure).

Once the starting material has been concentrated, the microwave vial would be removed from the adapter. Any additional reactants would then be added, and the vial would be crimp-sealed, and run through the microwave process.

Pre-reaction Adapter Benefits

The Microwave Vial Adapter system provides a means for a complete transfer of reactants directly to the microwave vial. This adapter allows the concentration of the pre-reaction starting material by means of a rotary evaporation process as described above. By using this adapter system, 100% of the concentrated starting material is retained in the microwave vial with no product loss.

Current pre-reaction compound preparation calls for concentration of starting material in a round bottom flask. The solid compound must then be scraped from the walls of the flask, and transferred to the microwave vial. Some loss of the product can occur in this step. This potential loss of material can be critical, especially when there is only a small amount of starting material available.

Post-Reaction Benefits

Once the microwave reaction process is complete, any remaining solvents or reactants can be further removed by the rotary evaporator process. Additionally, the standard tapered joint utilized by the adapter system provides a direct connection of the microwave vial to other types of vacuum sources, such as a manifold. This allows the sample to be dried by the use of other types of vacuum sources. It also allows the use of drying gas (such as nitrogen) through the manifold system.

3-21-2014 - Press Release: Worldwide Glass Resources, Inc has expanded its manufactured Headspace Vial Line to include vials compatible with Autosamplers from Tekmar.

The Headspace series includes 9ml (18.5x50mm), 12ml (18.5x65mm) and 20ml (23x75mm) vials. Manufactured from the highest quality Type I Borosilicate Clear Glass, the vials are designed and engineered to provide consistent wall thickness for uniform heating of your sample. The use of 1.25 mm average wall weight glass serves as added protection against bursting when internal pressure builds.

Our extensive series of lined 20mm aluminum seals are designed for a precise fit and offered to complement the line.

The new vial additions now make Worldwide Glass Resources one of the largest manufacturers of Headspace Vials in the world.
