Start Small: Why Smaller Vials First
Ordering for your lab: sizes, storage and planning
All Mibio-ops products are sold for laboratory research use only. This page covers practical ordering for research labs.
Choosing an order size
Most of our catalog comes in small 2 to 3 mL vials. Smaller sizes keep the upfront cost low.
They also make it easier to match an order to a single project. You buy what the project needs, not more.
Larger sizes are listed on the product page where they are available.
Storage on arrival
- Check the package and vial seals when the order arrives.
- Keep vials sealed until your protocol calls for them.
- Store them cold, dry and away from light, as listed on the product page.
- Label each vial with the date it arrived.
Our blog has more on general storage of research materials.
Planning a research batch
- Order per project. Line up order sizes with the project schedule so stock does not sit unused.
- Keep records. Note the product, lot and arrival date for each vial.
- Stay flexible. Smaller orders leave room if your research plan changes.
- Reorder on schedule. Place the next order before the current project ends.
Need a concentration figure for your notes? The concentration converter divides vial mass by diluent volume. It is a unit conversion only.
