Manual hand crimpers for glass vials

[miro2009]

Hello,
We are trying to purchase a manual hand crimper and decapper for glass vials of a finished drug product (and not autosampler vials of GC..) with the following specifications: overall height 33 mm, body 15 mm, external collar: 12.8 mm, internal collar: 7 mm, edge: 4mm, neck height: 3mm.
Can anyone let me know how to choose the appropriate crimper, as I see at different websites and brands the follwoing dimensions only: 8, 11, 13 or 20 mm crimpers... are these only for GC autosampler vials?
Any suggestion of any brand is welcomed (Agilent, PerkinElmer, Sigma,...)

Thank you

Can the Vial Supplier not advise you of the size of crimper decapper needed

Well I tried but they asked to send vial samples otherwise they "don't promise anything", which I think is completely unecessary... aren't these standard dimensions that could be easily identified by them or anyone of experience in such field??

If you are looking for a crimper/decapper from the vial manufacturer, send them their part number. They should recognize it.

If you are asking a reseller, they may be willing look to see if they can obtain something for you, but may not want to break open a case of vials to use only one or two. (They would not be able to sell the rest. And, a case of vials is not cheap.)

miro2009,

You can't find a crimper for these vials. Then they probably aren't standard. Send them the vials.
