Amber glass storage vial

Specifications

1. Material & Glass Type

• Made from Type I borosilicate glass highest chemical resistance, low extractables and suitable for pharmaceutical use. This glass is compliant with USP/Ph.Eur. standards for injectable packaging. 

• Amber color provides UV and visible light protection to help stabilize light-sensitive contents like peptides, vitamins, biologics, etc. 

2. Volume / Capacity
Amber vials come in a wide range of nominal capacities, such as:

• Small lab / sample sizes: ~1 mL to 5 mL (e.g., 5mL Amber Glass Vials with Screw Caps, 5mL Amber Glass Vials Headspace)

• Medium pharma sizes: ~10 mL30 mL (e.g., Sterile 20mL Amber Glass Vials)

• Mini sizes for essential oils or small samples: ~1 mL sets like Mini Amber Glass Vials Set

• Working standards or special bulk options: Amber Glass Vials Working Standard, Moulded Amber Glass Vial (Bulk)

3. Dimensions & Finishes

• Neck finish types:

  • Crimp finish (e.g., 13 mm / 20 mm) for sterile injectables compatible with standard aluminum seals and rubber stoppers. 

  • Screw neck finishes (e.g., 24-400 style) for lab/sample storage with caps. 

• Example ISO dimensions (varies by size):

  • 2 mL: ~16 mm H ~35 mm (ISO standard) 

  • 30 mL: ~37 mm H ~66 mm with 20 mm crimp finish. Voigt Global Distribution

  • 50 mL: ~42.5 mm diameter ~73.5 mm height with 20 mm neck. 

4. Performance & Testing Standards
Pharmaceutical grade amber vials typically meet:

• USP & Ph.Eur. Type I glass standards for chemical resistance. 

• ISO 8362-1 for injectable vial dimensions and neck finishes. 

• Sterility and endotoxin testing available for sterile vials intended for injectable use. 

5. Functionality & Protection

• UV/light protection: Amber color significantly reduces harmful light transmission (protecting photosensitive compounds). 

• Sealing: When paired with proper stoppers and caps, provides hermetic seals for long-term storage and stability.

• Chemical inertness: Borosilicate glass minimizes interactions with stored solutions.

Common Use Cases
