Siltek® Coated Vials
For a highly inert surface, we recommend Siltek® deactivation for your vials:
• Maximizes inertness, minimizes sample breakdown—ideal for difficult matrices and reactive compounds.
• Inert over a wide sample pH range.
• Low bleed.
• Thermally stable.
Siltek® deactivation produces a highly inert glass surface that features high temperature stability, extreme
durability, and low bleed. Try Siltek® deactivated vials for better recovery of sample analytes.
For Siltek® vials, add the corresponding suffix number to the vial catalog number.

NOTE:
This chemical resistance chart is intended only as a guideline. It does not cover all compounds or all solvents. Tests were done at room temperature on pure, single
solvents, and there is no data on solvent combinations. Always confirm the compatibility of your vial, closure, and chemical combination prior to sample preparations.
