Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
What vendor do you recommend using for purchasing bulk volumes of archival screw-topped glass vials in 1-8 dram sizes?<br>
<br>
In 2021 we wrote a proposal to re-curate our rubber-stopper vials into archival glass screw-top vials using a quote from Bioquip, since it was a verified vendor that we had success with in the past and had rates that were some of the lowest for bulk vial purchasing. However, now that Bioquip is out of business, I was curious what companies you all are using instead with archival lids (the ones with the PE cone liners). We?re hoping to resubmit with a new quote, but I haven?t found a vender that is comparable.<br>
<br>
Thank you for any insight you might have,<br>
<br>
Katrina<br>

Hi Katrina,<br>

<br>
We also use O.Berk, mostly for jars rather than vials, but Fisher Scientific's pricing can be comparable.<br>

We have been using Fisher Scientific for some time but then we get institutional discounts given that they are a preferred vendor to our University. I would encourage you to seek out similar arrangements at UConn.<br>
<br>

<br>
There are other vendors who sell through Fisher too. Just search for screw top vials.<br>
