🏷️ You make it. There is no item number

💧 Contains 10 mL of dilution liquid, plus your sample

⏳ Use immediately

A sample vial is a dilution vial with your own sample added to it. The dilution vial comes from either dilution route, ready-made or filled by you from bulk liquid. We cannot sell you a sample vial, because the sample is yours.

Before your first sample, read Before you measure.

If you fill your own dilution vials, fill them fresh

Never store a filled vial, not overnight and not in the fridge. Growth develops in it, and cold takes the conductivity outside the range BactoBox® needs. Dispense the vial you are about to use, through the syringe filter.

Measure a sample vial immediately

Do not let it stand. BactoBox® dilution liquid has a relatively low salt concentration, so the longer your cells sit in it, the more of them may lyse, which shifts the measured concentration.

Your sample vial is for single use only

Once you run the liquid through BactoBox®, the properties change significantly.

Always discard your sample vial after use.
