Tiny vials are fantastic for storing small liquids or other delicate products. Glass vials with caps are ideal for storing a substance at a more extreme temperature. Mini vials that are made of glass can handle temperatures below freezing. It is safe to assume that a small glass vial can withstand a standard freezing temperature of four degrees below zero Celsius. Certain tiny glass vials can be used up to eighty degrees below zero Celsius. If you use a glass vial with a screw cap, you should be cautious since polypropylene, a material commonly used for caps, gets increasingly brittle in extreme temperatures.
Storing Glass Vials Safely
Whether they are 1 mL glass vials or 10 mL glass vials, it is essential to store them properly. Incorrect storage techniques can lead to cracks and other damage. When storing small glass vials, you must keep them out of direct sunlight. It is recommended that you store them on plastic racks that are made for storing miniature vials. Be careful to avoid abrupt temperature changes–if you are putting your containers in a room at temperatures below freezing for preservation purposes, you should not immediately move them to a hot area. You may even want to use a fridge to warm it up before you bring the tiny vial to room temperature. Make sure that mini glass vials, or glass vials of any size, are padded when stored together to prevent scraping or chipping. Keep them away from high surfaces where they could fall and break easily.
