EPA vial also known as an Environmental Protection Agency vial, is a specialized type of sample container used for environmental analysis and testing. It is designed to meet the requirements and guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the collection and storage of water samples.

The vials are often equipped with a screw cap or a snap cap to securely seal the sample inside and prevent any leakage or contamination.These vials are specifically used for the collection of water samples to be analyzed for various parameters, such as the presence of organic and inorganic pollutants, contaminants, or other substances that may impact water quality.
