What Are the Uses of the Fisherbrand Glass Scintillation Vials?
Scintillation vials are used where a sample requires analysis by scintillation counting in a scintillation counter. Scintillation counters detect radiation and measure any radioactivity present in a radioactive sample or biological sample. Offering convenience, the Fisherbrand Glass Scintillation Vials are designed for use with all common counters.
Includes Attached Crew Caps
These vials come with attached screw caps. This eliminates the risk of losing caps and compromising the air-tightness of solutions. In addition, it keeps workspaces clean and tidy for accurate results and organised labs.
What Are these 20ml Scintillation Vials Made of?
These scintillation vials are made entirely out of borosilicate glass. This type of glass has various benefits important for experimentation:
- Chemically resistant, making it ideal for use with most substances, particularly acids
- Allows high maximum temperatures of up to around 500°C for a broad range of experiments
- Cover a wide range of thermal expansions, enabling direct seals with various metals and alloys
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion makes these shatter-resistant under rapid temperature changes
What Are the Lids Made of?
The lids on these scintillation vials are made out of polypropylene. This has a number of application-based benefits including:
- Strong and sturdy, resisting any tears or rips which compromise hygiene
- Moisture resistant, ideal for using with liquids and substances
- Good chemical resistance for use with acidic or alkaline substances
- Fatigue resistant for use with heavy or sharp substances requiring analysis
