EPA VIALS

20mL and 40mL EPA Vials

What are EPA Vials?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for monitoring of analytical standards used for environmental analysis in the USA.
Much of this analysis is applied to the testing of water supplies for the presence of potentially harmful chemicals.
These chemicals include pesticides, herbicides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. (PAH)
The collection and processing of these water samples has been controlled by defining the type of vials used for this stage of the analysis.
The vials are defined by their size, volume and their degree of cleanliness.
These vials are also referred to as VOA (Volatile Organic Analysis) vials.

EPA Certification

Selection Guide:

Vials are available in three levels of cleanliness that is certified to EPA procedures.
Class 100	The vials are supplied pre-assembled in clean room packaging after an initial cleaning stage. For most users the clean assembled packaging is sufficient.
Class 200	When dealing with trace amounts of environmental pollutants the clean room packaging will be enhanced by a controlled washing procedure to remove the last traces of potential interferences. These vials are then specially tray packed with certification provided of the washing process.
Class 300	For the most stringent applications individual certification of a batch analysis of the vials will be supplied.
