Selecting Sample Vials
Use this appendix as a guide for selecting sample vials. Select a sample vial based on
chemistry, volume of sample and injection.
Sample Chemistry
Based on the chemistry of the sample, select:
• Glass vial – General purpose
• Polypropylene vial – Recommended for ion chromatography
• Amber glass vial – Recommended for light-sensitive samples
• Polymethylpentene vial – Recommended for low volume ion chromatography
Volume of Sample and Injection
To determine the best sample vial size, refer to Table D-1 and Ta bl e D -2 .
