Vials, Septa

The short thread vials ND9 SureStop are available in clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass and are the best available on the market in terms of seal tightness and reliability. The vials have an additional stopper ring at the end of the thread which clearly marks the end point in the screwing-in process. This ensures that the tightness of the seal is independent of the touch or feel of the user screwing the stopper in. This ensures the lowest possible number of standard deviations and high reproducibility of analysis results.

Crimp and headspace seals ND20 are made of aluminium and are supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials. There are the following different types of caps available:

Plain caps with a 10 mm center hole. These caps are suitable for standard applications. They are available in several colours on request.

Clear lacquered caps, so called headspace caps, with a special score line that breaks when the internal pressure reaches 3.0 ± 0.5 bar. The excess pressure is then released, and the risk of the vial exploding can be avoided.

Clear lacquered centre tear-off caps and complete tear-off caps. These caps are available in several colours on request.

Gold lacquered, magnetic crimp caps with 5 mm centre hole to be used with CE HS500/HS800, CTC 500, as well as Fisons HS500 / HS800 instruments.

Gold lacquered, magnetic crimp caps with 8 mm centre hole to be used with CTC Combi PAL instruments.

Red lacquered, magnetic bimetal crimp caps with 8 mm centre hole to be used with CTC Combi PAL instruments.

These grey septa are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C and have excellent chemical properties. They are 3.0 mm thick and have a hardness of 50° shore A.

Also on Pharma-Fix seals, it is only the butyl areas that can come into contact with the sample, and these are PTFE coated. The areas that abut the edges of the glass are not coated. This ensures a particularly good seal.

Screw seals ND24 (EPA) are made of PP and are supplied with or without fitted septa made of a variety of materials. They have a 24-400 thread, a 15 mm centre hole or are closed.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -60 °C to 200 °C and have better purity than septa made of natural rubber, butyl or red rubber. However they have less effective resealability properties and are therefore more suitable for single-injection applications.

Screw neck vials ND10 with 10-425 thread facilitate easy filling with viscous substances thanks to their wide opening. The vials are available in clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass.

Screw seals ND8 are made of PP and are supplied without or with fitted septa made of a variety of materials. They have a 8-425 thread, a 5.5 mm centre hole or are closed.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C and have excellent chemical properties with regard to cleanliness.

Short thread screw seals ND9 are made of PP and are supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials. The caps have a 6 mm centre hole and are available in different colours. The screw caps are similar in shape to the crimp caps and are therefore also suitable for robotic handling.

In this case, caps and septa form an inseparable unit (Ultrabond), which means that even a blunt needle is unable to push the septa into the vial.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -60 °C to 200 °C and have better purity than septa made of red rubber. However, they have less effective resealability properties and are therefore more suitable for single-injection applications.

Crimp seals ND11 are made of aluminium. They are clear or lacquered in different colours and have a 5.5 mm hole. They are supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C and have excellent chemical properties.

Septa with a double-sided PTFE coating show a very low particle formation during penetration.

The screw cap 7.622 166 for bottle 7.622 167 has to be ordered separately.

Screw seals ND10 are made of PP and have a 10-425 thread. They have a 7 mm centre hole or are closed. Screw seals are supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials or without any septa.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 110 °C and easier to penetrate and have lower particle formation than septa made of natural rubber.

The blue Push-On caps made of PE have a thinned penetration point, but no additional septum. They are an inexpensive alternative to crimp caps for non-critical applications.

Precision thread screw seals ND18 are made of metal and supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials. The hole size is selected so that the cap is suitable both for SPME and headspace applications. However, enough surface is left for the magnet to be able to transport a completely filled vial. The screw-on mechanism ensures that the cap always has a flat surface so that the bottle cannot fall from the magnet. Separation of the vial and cap for disposal after analysis is much easier than with crimp caps.

Closed caps in combination with precision thread screw vials ND18 are ideal for sample storage.

Precision thread screw seals are not suitable for item 7.616 139 !

Septa are temperature-resistant from -60 °C to 200 °C and have better purity than septa made of natural rubber or red rubber. However, they have less effective resealability properties and are therefore more suitable for single-injection applications.

These kits correspond to the standard ND9 kits with regard to their setup (shrink-wrapped short thread vials ND9 made of clear or amber first hydrolytic class glass with corresponding short thread screw caps made of PP). But there is a batch-specific test certificate with HPLC and GC chromatographs for every kit available on request. Certified kits are delivered completely shrink-wrapped. This means additional safety for the end user.

Each batch of HPLC and GC certified kits is tested on 15 critical parameters. In a method corresponding as far as possible to real laboratory conditions, an HPLC/UV and GC/MS test of a vial and seal combination will be carried out.

Kits containing Ultrabond seals are especially for the use with Waters autosamplers.
