Headspace vials are a type of laboratory vials used for gas chromatography. They are designed to contain samples that will be analyzed using headspace gas chromatography, a technique used to analyze volatile compounds in solid or liquid samples. The vials are sealed with a septum cap, allowing the headspace above the sample to be analyzed without exposing the sample to the atmosphere. This technique is commonly used in pharmaceutical, environmental, and food analysis, among other fields.
Headspace vials, also known as gas chromatography (GC) vials or sample vials, are specialized containers used for the analysis of volatile compounds in gas chromatography. They are designed to store samples and create a headspace above the sample, which contains the volatile components to be analyzed.
