Vials, Septa

Crimp neck vials and micro-vials ND11 made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass are used as standard in GC and HPLC. A large selection of micro-inserts is available for these vials.

The transparent PE caps fit perfectly to the snap cap vials ND18 / ND22 / ND28.

Screw neck vials and micro-vials ND8 are available in clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass. They have a 8-425 thread and are used as standard in GC and HPLC applications. A large selection of micro-inserts with a 5 mm diameter is available for these vials. The micro-vials often require an adapter so that they can be used in an autosampler.

These vials are especially used with autosamplers made by Beckman, Shimadzu, Spark, Varian and VWR/Hitachi.

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 ideal for multiple injections thanks to their excellent resealability properties.

Septa made of natural rubber / butyl / TEF combine the good physical properties of natural rubber (resealability) and the good chemical properties of butyl (analytical cleanliness).

Short thread vials and micro-vials ND9 are available in clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass and can be used on almost all autosamplers. You can replace other 1.5 ml vial types like 11 mm crimp neck vials, 8-425 and 10-425 screw neck vials, which can help rationalize stocks.

The wide opening requires matching micro-inserts with 6 mm diameter.

Due to the technical geometry, the vails can be used on all common autosamplers, but preferentially on instruments made by Agilent, HTA, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific, Varian and Waters.

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

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

Crimp neck and headspace vials ND20 with rounded or flat bottom made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass need to be able to withstand very high internal pressures and, as a result, their walls are generally 1.2 mm thick. The vials are available with a flat DIN crimp neck or with a bevelled neck (HS neck).

On the flat DIN crimp neck, liners have a greater contact surface, which ensures a better seal. A bevelled HS neck is required if the overpressure safety seal system patented by Perkin Elmer is used, since excess pressure can only be reliably dissipated in vials with an HS neck.

Screw neck vials ND15 and ND18 made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass in combination with the corresponding screw caps are highly suitable as sample storage vials.

Screw neck vials ND15 have a 15-425 thread. ND18 vials have a 18-400 thread.

Item 7.616 139 is also suitable for headspace analysis (Perkin Elmer).

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.

Screw neck vials ND24 made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass are suitable for EPA (Environmental Protection Association) analysis and can, upon request, be supplied with a sterility certificate that is specifically required for TOC analyses.

These vials are especially used with autosamplers made by Agilent, Dionex, Shimadzu, Tekmar, Thermo Scientific and Varian.

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.

With Ultrabond seals, the caps and septa form an inseparable unit, which means that even a blunt needle is unable to push the septa into the vial.

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.

Screw neck vials ND13 with 13-425 thread made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass facilitate easy filling with viscous substances thanks to their wide opening.

The LABSOLUTE® vials for optimised micro-sampling are the best solution for very small sample volumes.

Precision thread headspace vials ND18 made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass are a practical alternative to the corresponding crimp neck vials ND20. Thanks to its many thread turns, the precision thread ensures that the septum is pressed firmly against the glass neck, keeping the vial gas-tight.

The vials are suitable both for solid phase microextraction (SPME) and for headspace applications. They are especially used with autosamplers made by CTC Pal, Varian, Gerstel, Atas, Shimadzu and Agilent.

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.

Due to their high cleanliness, they are especially used for critical and sensitive analysis.

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 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 -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.

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

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.

The transparent PE caps are 9 x 5.9 mm and have a 4 mm centre hole.

Septa made of natural rubber are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C and ideal for multiple injections thanks to their excellent resealability properties.

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 !
