Ways Of Cleaning Sample Vials

As the rapid development of analytical chemistry, more and more large analytical instruments are applied in all areas of detection, especially in gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and mass spectrum. These instruments need large amounts of sample vials to be matched with. If the sample vials are only for single use, that would be great waste and huge cost. Generally, laboratory workers often clean the sample vials for reusing.
However, during the cleaning, as the bottle mouths are very small, the air inside the sample vials cannot be eliminated smoothly and the cleaning solvent cannot flow into the sample vials, which lead to poor effect in the end.
In China, there are a great number of agricultural products that need to be tested every year, using Liquid Chromatogram or Gas Chromatogram. Cleaning sample vials are of great importance, which is related to the test results. Clean the sample vials according to the glassware cleaning instructions and degree of contamination, and you can choose different cleaning methods.
As a result, laboratory workers have developed some batch cleaning methods which are with the advantages of handiness, low cost and high efficiency.
For example, we can put the sample vials into the reagent bottle firstly, then add the organic solvent to the mouth of the reagent bottle, cover with hole less plug and screw the outer cover. Secondly, we can use the vortex mixer to eliminate the air inside the sample vials, then fill in the reagent bottle with organic solvent over time. Thirdly, we put the reagent bottle into the supersonic cleaner with the cleaning temperature between 30 ℃ to 50 ℃ to clean for 1 minute to 15 minutes. Lastly, we eliminate the organic solvent from the reagent bottle.
