Air Sensitive Sample Tubes

Description

These air-sensitive sample tubes, supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific under catalog number 036154.KS, are specialized laboratory consumables designed for handling and storing chemical samples that are reactive with atmospheric components such as oxygen or moisture. Typically constructed from glass or other inert materials, they often feature seals, septa, or valves that allow for the manipulation of contents under an inert atmosphere, using techniques like cannulation or syringe transfer. Their primary function is to maintain sample integrity by preventing contamination or decomposition due to air exposure. Such tubes are essential in research and analytical chemistry workflows involving organometallic compounds, sensitive reagents, or any material where exclusion of air and water is critical for experimental success.
