Why Is It Important To Select A Vial By Color?

Waters offers a range of vials in both glass and plastic materials, available in clear or amber colors. The use of different colors helps to differentiate the vials based on their specific properties. Color has gained significance in selecting lab equipment, particularly vials, as it plays a crucial role in determining the long-term chemical stability of compounds or extracts. Amber vials are ideal for protecting easily damaged chemicals, while clear vials offer excellent visibility of the contents. Depending on the composition of the collected samples in your analysis, selecting an amber vial may be necessary to safeguard against UV light, which can potentially damage certain chemicals.
