How to Select the Right Vials and Septa

Septa Selection Guide

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

• Recommended for single-use injection.
• Ideal for mass spectrometry applications.
• Outstanding solvent resistance and chemical compatibility.
• Does not reseal after puncture.
• Not recommended for long-term sample storage.

PTFE/Silicone

• Recommended for multiple injections and sample storage.
• Excellent resealing capability.
• Combines the chemical resistance of PTFE before puncture with the compatibility of silicone after puncture.
• Operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to 200°C.

Pre-slit PTFE/Silicone

• Provides proper venting to prevent vacuum formation, ensuring exceptional sampling reproducibility.
• Eliminates needle blockage during sampling.
• Excellent resealing capability.
• Recommended for multiple injections.
• Combines PTFE’s resistance before puncture with silicone’s compatibility after puncture.
• Operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to 200°C.

Cap Selection Guide

Caps are available in three types: crimp, snap, and screw caps, each with unique advantages and considerations:

Crimp Caps

• Provide a tight seal by compressing the septa between the vial rim and the crimped aluminum cap.
• Prevent sample evaporation effectively.
• Septa remain securely in place during needle puncture.
• Require a crimping tool for sealing.

Snap Caps

• A variation of the crimp cap, made of plastic that fits over the vial rim.
• Seals by pressing the septa between the vial and the extended plastic cap.
• Does not require tools for sealing but offers less sealing efficiency compared to other types.

Screw Caps

• Universal cap type that forms a seal by applying mechanical force when tightened.
• Ensures excellent sealing performance.
• Keeps septa fixed during needle puncture.
• Easy to seal and requires no tools.

Vial Selection Guide

Sample Vial Series

• Made from Type I borosilicate glass with low ionic content.
• Features PTFE/silicone septa for soft, durable sealing.
• Available in various colors, with optional graduation marks and ceramic writing spots.

Storage Vial Series

• Ideal for packaging pharmaceutical intermediates, high-value chemicals, reagents, and cosmetics.
• Suitable for long-term storage and transportation with excellent sealing performance.

Precision Threaded Headspace Vials

• Precision-threaded design ensures superior septa and vial mouth sealing.
• Convenient and safe for headspace sampling, guaranteeing consistent analytical results.
• Easy to open and tighten.

Crimp Vial Series

• Designed for moisture-sensitive or air-sensitive samples.
• Allows extraction via syringe for water- and oxygen-free experiments.

Wide-Mouth Vial Series

• Suitable for powders, pharmaceutical intermediates, and high-value biological formulations.
• Offers excellent sealing for long-term storage and transport.
• Available in multiple cap and liner options, including PE and PTFE/silicone, with customizable packaging.

High Recovery Vial Series

• Designed for maximum sample extraction without the need for inserts.
• Increases sample capacity while reducing residual volume.

Ultra-Clean Autosampler Vials

• Tailored for high-standard applications such as mass spectrometry.
• Minimizes impurities to reduce interference.
• Packaged with caps and vials preassembled to prevent contamination during handling.
• Made from purer raw materials with advanced post-treatment processes.
• For optimal results, please use ultra-clean vials immediately after unsealing.
