: vial - it's the wrong shape for a bottle (no neck); "vial" used a lot for this type of substance

: Vial is clearly the correct answer, given the function and the context, even though it may be shaped like a "tube".

: Depends on the size, in my opinion. Not a bottle, but they only give '10g' as the measure. it might be 10 g of the solid in 10 l of liquid. But from the size, I would go with vial.

To me, it doesn't look like any of those things. I would call it a tube (perhaps specifying it in some way as a glass tube or a rigid plastic tube).

Thank you, but from other comments on this page and the use of "vial" on the firm's page, I am coming to think that vial is acceptable, though personally I would still call it a tube.

Vial
Based on the following definitions, it is definately not a bottle. It seems to me the difference between a tube and a vial is its size. I would call it a vial unless it is fairly large in size.
Tube = A hollow cylinder, especially one that conveys a fluid or functions as a passage.
Vial = A small container, usually with a closure, used especially for liquids
Bottle = A receptacle having a narrow neck, usually no handles, and a mouth that can be plugged, corked, or capped
Tube = A hollow cylinder, especially one that conveys a fluid or functions as a passage.
Vial = A small container, usually with a closure, used especially for liquids
Bottle = A receptacle having a narrow neck, usually no handles, and a mouth that can be plugged, corked, or capped
