Supplements in press-shake-use vials
SCHARLAU
What’s different?
This packaging system consists in vials and caps that further simplify the handling
of supplements. There is no need to apply hard pressure and no need to remove
the tamper-proof cover. This allows for quick opening and easy manipulation:
press, shake, open and dispense. Offered in boxes of 10 vials; each vial contains
sufficient supplement for 500mL of reconstituted medium.

Features & benefits
Our Tamper-proof vials make it easy to add supplements to media. The sterile
powdered supplement is contained inside the plastic cap and the diluent is
contained inside the vial. Simply prepare by depressing the cap; the medium
base is released into the solvent ready to be mixed.
Shelf life and storage
Products should be stored in the fridge at temperatures between 2 and 8°C and
the shelf life is between 3 and 4 years, depending on the product.

1. Depress the cap to break the seal and release the powdered
supplement.
2. The powder then falls into the diluent. Shake vigorously for total
dissolution.
3. The supplement is now ready. Open the vial aseptically, close to
a flame or in a safety cabinet. Pour into the medium base, which
has been cooled down to 45-50°C.
4. Mix to evenly distribute the supplement in the medium and now
it is ready to dispensed into the desired containers: flasks, tubes or
plates.
Freeze dried supplements in vials with safe screw caps
Supplements - freeze-dried
By means of the freeze-drying technique we can assure a standardised quality
that will yield reliable results without any loss in performance of the selective
medium. The freeze-dried solids dissolve easily and quickly.
Screw cap for easy and safe handling
The standard closure offered by other manufactures, which consists of a rubber
septum with an outer aluminium cap may lead to undesirable accidents. Its
removal requires a tool, takes some time and may cause injuries.

Therefore we offer our vials with a screw cap a much safer, faster and easier
to open alternative.
You may directly remove the septum from the freeze-dried supplement vial and
the solvent vial and pour the solvent on to the supplement. Alternatively you may
use a syringe, perforate our septum with a needle and that way transfer the solvent
to the supplement vial.
