Product Description
PTFE is ideal for preparing most IR solid samples because it is inert and easy to clean. The PTFE vial for the Wig-L-Bug consists of a 2 part black Delrinouter shell and a 3 part inner liner assembly comprised of a PTFE vial, a PTFE cap and a 6mm agate ball pestle. The ball is made from agate instead of PTFE because agate is harder and therefore produces better crushing and mixing action. The PTFE vial assembly fits snugly into the Delrin outer shell, and the entire assembly fits both the regular Wig-L-Bug with metal spoon arms and the digital Wig-L-Bug with plastic spoon arms. The need for a supplemental adapter to hold the vial in place that was required for prior versions of this vial has been eliminated---the assembly simply snaps into the space between the spoon arms of either Wig-L-Bug.

Unmatched Chemical ResistanceManufactured entirely from PTFE, this vial assembly offers exceptional resistance against a wide range of corrosive chemicals, including most acids, bases, and solvents. This makes it an excellent choice for laboratories handling aggressive reagents, reducing the risk of sample contamination and ensuring safety during sample storage and processing.
Designed for Reliable ContainmentWith a leak-proof, threaded screw cap and durable PTFE construction, users can trust these assemblies to maintain a secure seal. The cylindrical shape and lightweight design (around 8g) aid in efficient handling and storage, while the lack of glass components improves resistance to breakage.
Reusable and Autoclavable EfficiencyFully autoclavable, the PTFE vial assembly can be sterilized repeatedly without compromising its integrity, making it a sustainable and cost-effective choice. Easy cleaning and minimal chemical interaction ensure longevity for repeated laboratory uses, offering additional value to users in research, clinical, or industrial environments.
FAQs of PTFE Vial Assembly for Wig-L-Bugs:
Q: How should the PTFE vial assembly for Wig-L-Bugs be cleaned and sterilized?
A: The assembly is fully autoclavable, allowing you to sterilize it in an autoclave between uses. For routine cleaning, simply use laboratory-grade detergents and rinse with deionized water. Its PTFE construction ensures resistance to most cleaning agents.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using a PTFE vial assembly in laboratory settings?
A: Using a PTFE vial assembly provides outstanding chemical resistance, leak-proof security, and repeated usability. These attributes help ensure reliable containment of sensitive samples, minimize risk of corrosion, and support sustainable laboratory practices.
Q: When is it advisable to choose a PTFE vial assembly over glass vials?
A: PTFE vials are preferable when working with highly corrosive or reactive chemicals that may degrade glass, or when repeated sterilization is required. Their resistance to breakage and chemical attack makes them ideal for critical sample containment.
Q: Where can this PTFE vial assembly be procured in India?
A: These PTFE vial assemblies are available through various exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders across India who specialize in laboratory equipment and consumables.
Q: What process is involved in securing the vial contents?
A: The vial features a threaded screw cap that ensures a leak-proof seal. Simply insert your sample and screw the cap securely in place to prevent leaks and maintain sample integrity during use.
Q: Is the vial assembly suitable for repeated laboratory use?
A: Yes, the durability and chemical inertness of PTFE, combined with its full autoclavability, allow the vial assembly to be reused multiple times without performance degradation.
