Title: Need two of these vials-Any Help?
Post by: omega54 on February 05, 2008, 04:14:57 AM: Hello - I decided to approach this in a different way, I originally asked as to what type of vial this is in the attached photo, I now have the answer due to the find members here on this forum-thank you!
However, not to complicate this, I would like to find out if anyone out here in the forums would have two or three of these empty vials as shown in the attached photo that would be willing to sell to me?
The reason I request this, is the companies that make these vials I want, only sell them in cases or quantities of 80-100 vials, I simply have no need to acquire that many, I only like to get ahold of two or three of them, can anyone help me out with this request?

As always, many thanks!!

Radioactive substances are used widely in modern medicine. Here a robot manipulator holds a vial of Yttrium-90 in a hot cell. (Photo courtesy Nuclear Medicine Research Council)
