CG Container, exclusively through Chemglass Life Sciences

Using state-of-the-art glass forming machinery: robotic handling, forming, annealing, and camera inspection equipment and processes, CG CONTAINER manufactures consistent high-quality vials and tubes having excellent dimensional tolerance, chemical resistance, and cosmetic appearance. Each vial is hand and camera inspected multiple times throughout the manufacturing and packaging process.

Types of vials and tubes:

  • Reaction Vials
  • Sample Vials
  • Environmental Vials
  • Storage Vials
  • Chromatography Vials
  • Scintillation Vials
  • High Recovery Vials
  • Headspace Vials
  • Anaerobic & Culture Tubes
  • Closures
  • Caps
  • Septa

Glass tubing used as raw material
Raw Material: Our process begins with high-quality glass tubing, which is formed into vials on our state-of-the-art glass vial manufacturing machinery.
Vial forming and tooling machinery
Vial Forming & Tooling: The vials advance through sequential chuck stations, where precise tooling shapes the glass tubing into the bottoms, threads, or crimp finishes.
Computerized camera inspecting a vial
Camera Inspection: Our advanced computerized cameras perform thorough inspections to detect and eliminate any flaws.
Silk screening equipment
Silk Screening: Projects requiring custom screen printing, this step is seamlessly integrated into the process.
Vials being transferred to an annealing oven
Annealing: Vials are robotically transferred to an annealing oven.
Optical comparator inspecting a vial
Optical Comparator Inspection: Checking vials on an optical comparator ensures compliance with strict thread and bottom specifications.
Vial packaging, inspection and capping
Packaging, Inspection & Capping: Packaging options for vials include partitioned boxes, clear clamshell containers, and shrink-wrapped bricks.
