SPECIAL PROCESSES

Low Elution Vials (SE, LE, LE+)

Inner surface of vial is cleaned before annealing in order to remove alkaline. Elution suppression levels can be selected according to your needs.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

Silicoating

Suppresses metal elution most of all special processes. It deposits silica film on the inner surface of vial to prevent metal elution.

Sulfur Treatment

Sprays aqueous ammonium sulfate solution into vials at a manufacturing process and heats it to cause reaction, thus achieving low metal elution.
