Reagent Vial: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.65 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.06 at volume, on a typical 28-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For reagent vial, the drivers are material, capacity, closure type, neck finish, color, printing, sterile vs non-sterile, child resistant — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale vial pricing from US-facing distributors shows standard small glass vials with caps/dropper-style closures commonly dropping from roughly $0.50-$0.75 each at sub-1,000 quantities to about $0.35-$0.50 at 10,000+ quantities. Factory-direct and marketplace quotes for reagent/chemical vials show much lower landed-equivalent pricing at larger runs, especially for simple amber or clear glass with screw caps and minimal decoration. The biggest price drivers are capacity, closure/neck finish, and whether the vial is sterile or custom-printed; child-resistant and sterile RTU configurations move pricing sharply upward versus commodity lab vials.
