Vials & Caps for PFAS Testing 

PFAS-optimized vials and caps are pivotal in PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) testing and PFAS sensitive applications. PFAS testing demands precision, sensitivity, and minimal sample contamination, all of which are addressed by Agilent’s PFAS testing vials.

Agilent offers a range of vials optimized for PFAS analysis in three primary styles: screw top, snap top, and snap/crimp top. These vials are specifically designed to accommodate pH-sensitive samples and analyses involving sodium or heavy metals, making them ideal for PFAS testing where sample integrity is paramount.

The mandrel interior design of Agilent’s PFAS testing vials ensures maximum sample matrix extraction by guiding the autosampler needle to the vial's bottom, minimizing residual volume or dead volume. This feature is particularly crucial in PFAS testing, where even minute variations can significantly impact results.

Agilent offers options with glass inserts or deactivated glass inserts. These wide-opening PFAS testing vials feature a glass flanged insert molded inside, ensuring that the sample only interacts with the high-quality glass insert and cap septum. This configuration minimizes the risk of sample contamination, a critical consideration in PFAS testing where even trace amounts of impurities can skew results.
