Waters offers a selection of cap, septum, and assembled cap/septum for various vial sizes. The range of septum material is limited to PTFE, silicone / PTFE, and polyethylene septumless caps.
Protecting your precious samples from contamination should always be at the forefront of your mind when performing sample preparation protocols. From the right vial to the right vial cap, it’s important that you’re equipped with sample prep products that are inspected thoroughly for cleanliness and dimensional tolerances. When it’s time for sample injection, you can trust the PTFE/Silicone Septum from Waters to help you perform that process successfully. Our septa are held to a high standard of cleanliness and dimensional tolerances, as we believe you should only receive the cleanest products from us right out of the box. Tell your lab manager that you need this 100-pack of PTFE/Silicone Septa the next time they place an order at Waters, or simply order your own 100-pack yourself and have it delivered right to your lab. No matter what your sample preparation needs are, you’ll find a partner in success at Waters.
What is a PTFE/Silicone Septum? A septum in liquid chromatography acts as a barrier between your sample vial and the outside environment, while also allowing a needle to pierce and enter the vial without any added considerations. This way sample extraction can be achieved as you pave a path toward MS adoption. Plus, this septum actively prevents leaching and sticking. For best results, we recommend using this septum with sample vials provided by Waters.
Speaking of sample collection vials, have you stocked up on them lately? If not, may we recommend the Clear Glass Screw Neck Vial? This vial that measures 12 x 32mm and offers 2 mL in volume has been inspected thoroughly for cleanliness and can be used with most autosamplers. What’s more, the vial comes in a pack of 100 so you can perform sample preparation at scale.
At Waters, we have the sample preparation products you need to be successful. From sample plates and vials to septa, we have you covered at every step of the sample prep process. Shop lab equipment to see how we’re helping scientists across the globe with our offerings.
What Are the Most Common Issues When Using a Vial Septum?
A septum protects your sample from external contamination, but improper use or using the incorrect septum can lead to leaching, adsorption, absorption, coring, sticking or septum push-through.
