Vials, Septa

Short thread screw seals ND9 are made of PP and are supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials. They 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.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -200 °C to 260 °C. They are very thin and hard and characterized by high analytical purity. However, they have less effective resealability properties and are therefore only suitable for single-injection applications.

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 septa are temperature-resistant from -60 °C to 220 °C. They are 3.0 mm thick and have a hardness of 50° shore A. They 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. The silicone is fully coated with a silver aluminium foil and is often used on Perkin Elmer instruments.

The LABSOLUTE® kit ND20 consists of crimp neck vials made of clear glass of the first hydrolytic class and corresponding aluminum crimp closures with an ultraclean septum made of silicone/PTFE. The special dimensions of the vials and the modification of the closures are perfectly adapted for the use with the Metrohm 774 & 874 Oven Sample Processor for the determination of the water content according to Karl-Fischer.

Crimp neck vials ND13 made of clear first hydrolytic class glass are special products which require a minimum order quantity.

2in1 KITs contain 100 vials (1.5 ml) and 100 closures in an orange PP-Box. As both components are always required at the same time, 2in1 KITs are a convenient way to obtain and store all required items for analysis. All advantages of the individual components (cleanroom packaging of the vials, recloseability of the packaging, etc.) remain unchanged.

Any other combination of vial and seal as a 2in1 KIT available.

These 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.

Alternative With natural rubber / TEF septa Alternative With butyl / PTFE septa Alternative Without septa

Crimp seals ND13 are made of aluminium. They are clear lacquered and have a 6 mm centre hole, a centre tear-off or complete tear-off. They are supplied with fitted septa made of a variety of materials.

The septa made of silicone white/PTFE red 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.

The septa made of butyl red/PTFE grey are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C and have excellent chemical properties with regard to cleanliness.

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

The choice of the right septa depends on the application. Many septa are PTFE coated on one side. PTFE is highly resistant against many chemicals and forms an inert border between the sample and the base material of the septa.

The septa's base material has various physical and chemical properties, like temperature resistance, resealability, cleanliness, hardness and thickness.

Natural rubber/TEF

• Temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C
• Excellent resealability properties
• Inexpensive for standard applications in the fields of GC and HPLC

RedRubber/PTFE

• Temperature-resistant from -30 °C to 110 °C
• Softer and therefore easier to penetrate than natural rubber
• Not as good resealability properties as natural rubber
• Higher chemical purity than natural rubber
• Inexpensive for standard applications in the fields of GC and HPLC

Butyl/PTFE

• Temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C
• Higher chemical purity than natural rubber and RedRubber

Silicone/PTFE

• Temperature-resistant from -60 °C to 200 °C
• More suitable for single-injection applications
• Much higher chemical purity than natural rubber and RedRubber
• Very low particle formation during penetration in case of double-sided PTFE coating
• Best for the thin and fragile needles of the autosampler
• Best for critical analysis (UltraClean quality)

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

All well plates made of PP and sealmats are fully chromatography tested. There are several advantages compared to usual vials and caps. Furthermore, the SBS/ANSI footprint assures compatibility with all well plate capable prep stations and chromatography autosamplers.

Well plates and sealmats are suitable for polar and non-polar solvents, in case of very critical analysis and very low sample concentrations.

• Space saving on the lab bench and when stored
• Faster sample preparation when multichannel pipettes are used
• Time saving because many different samples are prepared on one single plate

The plates made of PP are non-coated, non-sterile and chromatography tested.

Glass coated well plates are available on request.
