Vials, Septa

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).

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.

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 -60 °C to 200 °C and have a 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.

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

The magnetic seals are suitable for CTC PAL and Thermo Scientific TriPlus autosampler.

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.

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.

Snap ring vials and micro-vials ND11 made of clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass can be used on almost all autosamplers and can also be used on equipment with robotic handling.

As an alternative to snap ring seals, snap ring vials and micro-vials, ND11 can also be sealed with crimp seals ND11 since the two snap ring lips together have the same height as a crimp neck.

Vials with snap ring seal are only recommended for HPLC.

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.
