1. Wash containers in hot water using laboratory grade non-phosphate detergent
2. Rinse three times with copious amounts of tap water to remove detergent
3. Rinse three times with ASTM Type I organic-free water
4. Oven-dry containers

After being cleaned these vials are assembled with the following materials: Type 1 borosilicate glass, PTFE/silicone septa, and a polypropylene cap. The vials are available in either clear or amber glass. All of the vials are packaged with an open top cap and a tan/white PTFE/silicone septa.
