Product type
Type I glass vials are specialized containers made from borosilicate glass designed to store pharmaceuticals and other sensitive materials. They are manufactured to provide a high level of chemical resistance and thermal stability, making them ideal for injectable drugs and other applications that require stringent quality standards. These vials are typically used in the pharmaceutical industry for packaging vaccines, serums, and other biologics.
