Vials, Septa

Micro-inserts made of clear first hydrolytic class glass are suitable for screw neck vials ND8 with small opening.

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, made of silicone blue transparent / PTFE white, are temperature-resistant from -60 °C to 200 °C. They are 3.0 mm thick and have a hardness of 45° 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.

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

Screw seals ND8 are made of PP and are supplied without or with fitted septa made of a variety of materials. They have a 8-425 thread, a 5.5 mm centre hole or are closed.

These septa are temperature-resistant from -40 °C to 120 °C and have excellent chemical properties with regard to cleanliness.

The LABSOLUTE® kits ND9 contain shrink-wrapped short thread vials ND9 made of clear or amber first hydrolytic class glass and corresponding short thread screw caps made of PP.

Kits containing Ultrabond seals are especially for the use with Waters autosamplers.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

The short thread vials ND9 SureStop are available in clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass and are the best available on the market in terms of seal tightness and reliability. The vials have an additional stopper ring at the end of the thread which clearly marks the end point in the screwing-in process. This ensures that the tightness of the seal is independent of the touch or feel of the user screwing the stopper in. This ensures the lowest possible number of standard deviations and high reproducibility of analysis results.

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.

Screw neck vials ND10 with 10-425 thread facilitate easy filling with viscous substances thanks to their wide opening. The vials are available in clear and amber first hydrolytic class glass.
