Pre-slit PTFE/silicone septa: secure sealing and consistent sample protection
Pre-slit PTFE/silicone septa provide reliable sealing solutions for a wide range of sample storage and analysis applications. These specialized septa designs combine the superior barrier properties of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) with the elastic sealing properties of silicone rubber.
The pre-slit feature allows easy, repeatable sample access while maintaining a tight, self-sealing seal. This helps to prevent sample evaporation, contamination and degradation, ensuring the integrity of valuable compounds. The PTFE/silicone composition provides a chemically inert barrier, making these septa compatible with a wide range of solvents, acids, bases and other corrosive sample matrices.
The pre-opened septum provides adequate venting and prevents the formation of a vacuum in the sample, resulting in excellent reproducibility of vial aspiration.
If the injection volume is very small, pre-opened vial caps should be used. Pre-opened septa help to ensure reproducible pipetting of samples from vials.
Pre-opened septa are compatible with a range of autosampler tip materials, including PEEK and metal tips.
Designed for use with a variety of vial sizes and closure systems, pre-slit PTFE/silicone septa provide reliable, long-lasting performance. Their durable construction can withstand repeated punctures from syringes, pipettes or other sampling tools without compromising the seal.
If your sample diluent is highly volatile or your sample requires heating, it may be inconvenient to use pre-opened septa.
