`Capitol Vial, Inc.
`ISO 9001 Certified Company
`
`Capitol Vial, Inc., a vertically integrated ISO 9001 Certified Company, specializes in producing
`FDA approved food grade polypropylene vials and vial systems that conform to FDA and NIDA
`specifications. The vials are sterile, airtight, leak-proof, and can hold enough internal pressure (> 10
`PSI) so they can be transported in an airplane and remain sealed. Capitol Vial, Inc’s patented
`flip-top is integrally hinged to the vial allowing the user to open and close the vial with one hand.
`
`Capitol Vial, Inc. designs and builds custom molds to customers’ specific requirements and
`manufactures a variety of vials including, but not limited to: regular vials (both low and high
`profile and regular and wide-mouth varieties); snap seal/lock tab vials; custody vials; tamper
`evident vials; and odd shapes (denture cups and syringe vials). The vials can be opened and closed
`repeatedly, they will still remain leak-proof and airtight. The vials are available in light-repellent
`colors including red, amber, and black; Capitol Vial, Inc. can also color coordinate vials to meet
`your unique corporate color requirements.
`
`The vials are manufactured in FDA approved Class 10,000 and Class 100,000 clean rooms from
`FDA approved food grade polypropylene and meet NIDA standards. The vials are sterile-
`by—process and for most applications do not require a secondary means of sterilization like gamma
`radiation. Under Hepa-Filtration Systems guaranteeing zero particulates larger than one-half
`micron, vials are physically closed in the mold as part of the manufacturing process. The vials are
`non-absorptive and non-aerosoling (detailed studies available on request).
`
`Capitol Vial, Inc’s vial and vial systems are protected by ten different patents. Capitol Vial, Inc. has
`manufactured and sold billions of its vials world wide in the past ten years. Capitol Via], Inc. is
`your single source supplier of:
`
`o Leak-Proof, Sterile Vials
`Transport Vials
`Custom Designed Kits
`Racks & Trays
`Vial Opener/Closer
`Automated Aliquot Stations
`Disposal/Recycling Systems
`
`Capitol Vial, Inc. has worked extensively with the Dairy and Diagnostics Industries. Capitol Vial,
`Inc. produces special vials and operates high-speed packaging lines for major diagnostics companies
`and a major food company. Capitol Via], Inc. has manufacturing facilities in Fultonville, New
`York, Auburn, Alabama, and Neiderbrohn, France.

`
`INNOVATIVE PLASTIC CONTAINERS
`
`Capitol Vial, Inc. is a vertically integrated ISO 9001-certified manufacturer of one-piece plastic
`containers. Patented molding technology enables Capitol Vial, Inc. to produce containers that are
`airtight, leak-proof, and sterile by process.
`All of Capitol \fial’s molds are designed and built in-house to meet exacting
`specifications. Utilizing the latest Wire and RAM EDM technology, molds are built
`within .0005" tolerance. In addition to tooling capabilities, Capitol Vial can apply
`engineering expertise to integrate its container technology into both customers'
`and in-house high speed packaging lines. This integration provides customers
`with turnkey solutions to their unique packaging applications. Taking advantage
`of strengths in the areas of tool design, mold building, manufacturing, and
`packaging, Capitol Vial, Inc. has become a leading provider for the
`pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic testing, drug testing, water testing,
`
`health care, food, dairy, and confectionery industries.

`
`
`Figure #1
`
`
`The first seal is formed by the union of the lid valve (Figure #2) with the inside
`
`surface of the container wall. The integrity of this seal is obtained by forcing the
`
`
`top of the container into a small space between the valve and the wall of the lid.
`The structural interference encountered during closing and the shrinkage that
`occurs during the curing stage create the airtight seal.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` The second seal is formed by the union of the top edge of the container wall
`(Figure #3) and the inside wall of the lid. Similar to the first seal, it is a combination
`of structural interference and shrinkage that guarantees the integrity of the seal.
`
`This feature's primary function is to provide a leak proof seal that prevents fluids
`
`from entering or exiting the container.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` The third seal is formed by the union of the outer wall of the container (Figure #4)
`and the undercut around the inside wall of the lid. This seal provides the another
`
`layer of protection against fluid ingress and egress and also determines the
`amount of internal air pressure the container will withstand. The level of internal air
`pressure is controlled by the ratio of surface contact to undercut.

`
`before the material is fully set. By closing the container while the part is still hot, Capitol Vial, Inc.
`uses the natural curing properties of the plastic to help form the seals inherent in the container
`design. The process for closing the container in the mold is shown in the figures below.
`
`The mold consists of two sides, the cavity and the core. The container can be closed in
`the mold because the cavity that forms the lid is located in a movable piece of the mold
`called the flipper. Plastic is injected into the mold from the bottom of the body cavity and
`forms around the cores. The hinge of the container provides the pathway for the plastic
`to flow from the body to the lid cavity. As depicted in Step 1, the container remains in
`the cavity after the cores have retracted. This differs from many injection molding
`processes where the part is usually removed fromthe cavity by the retracting core.
`
`With the core side retracted, the flipper is free to rotate upwards. Step 2 illustrates the
`flipper moving the lid towards the body of the container. The flipper rotates 180° until the
`lid is closed onto the body of the container. Since the container is still hot, the plastic
`
`As the flipper returns to its home position in Step 3, the lid is secured to the body of the
`container and the normal shrinkage process continues. Along with the airtight seals,
`shrinkage also creates the “living hinge” of the container. The hinge is molded in the
`open position and as a result acquires memory for this orientation. The hinge also
`obtains memory in the closed position. This “dual memory” creates a robust “living

`reaches ambient temperature.
`
`Once the flipper is fully retracted, the container is ejected from the mold in Step # 4 with
`the use of a mechanical pin and air pressure. The container continues to cool until it
`
`Figure #5 shows the distortion that occurs when the lid is closed after the material has
`cooled and has fully set. Since shrinkage has occurred, the plastic is less flexible and
`the first and third seal areas are distorted upon closure. This distortion damages the
`integrity of the seals and prevents the container from being airtight or leak-proof. Capitol
`\fial's unique closing processes prevent the plastic from cooling excessively before
`closure and ensure a perfect seal.
