Why vials? Some arthropods cannot be dried without decomposing, for example isopods and spiders. Such specimens can, however, be stored and preserved in alcohol.

All vials come with caps. The lining on the regular caps provides a reasonable seal, and the vials work well for shorter-term storage. If longer-term storage is the goal, you should probably consider Taperseal vials. Knocked over, these do not easily leak, but the caps are somewhat less robust than the Taperseal. A very good vial.
Sizes start with the a 1/2 dram vial (tiny but useful), through to a 4 dram.
If you're unsure what you need, or if you need a range of sizes, we do offer a mixed pack containing one of each size of vial.
