The Importance of Silicone Septa Design for Easy and Reliable Needle Penetration in Solid Phase Extraction
-
Products. Septa. By definition, a rubber septum consists of a disk of rubber or similar material used to seal a vial or other device. It is installed along the inside of a cap, which is typically made of metal or plastic. A syringe needle pierces the rubber septum for the purpose of injection and, on withdrawal, the elasticity of the septum

Thermogreen ® LB-2 Septa is suitable for the following applications: To minimize extraction onto or loss of analytes off the Solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber from the vial during analysis by GC-MS. Thermo-resistant septa is used in GC instrument to avoid carrier gas leaks, extraneous peaks and phthalate contamination.

Works well for applications where ease of needle penetration is important. A PTFE/Silicone with slitted septum allows for easier needle penetration as well as to release the vacuum that forms when a large volume of sample is withdrawn from a vial. This septum provides

When selecting which septa is right for your experiments, it is important to consider the: Instrument Each instrument vendor uses different injector needle types and for some instruments, having pre-slit septa, or choosing a material with a lower shore (hardness) value will help reduce the chances of needle issues, such as needle bending.

phase surfaces and volumes, and an arrow-shaped tip, which allows for smoother penetration of vial and injector septa. SPME fiber advantages: – Original proven design – Solvent-free – Easy to automate – Nondestructive to samples – Fibers are reusable – Compatible with GC or HPLC instrumentation
-
The low durometer of red rubber allows for easy needle penetration even with thin bore GC needles. PTFE/Red rubber septa are not recommended for multiple injections with long run times or retention of samples for further analysis after initial puncture. PTFE/silicone septa: (T/S) PTFE/Silicone is the most versatile septum material offered in

Sep 8, 2022 · Silicone Rubber Septa. High-quality, silicone rubber laminated to PTFE. Use when excellent resealing qualities are a must. Septum resists coring and is recommended when multiple injections are
-
Generally, silicone septa are more easily pierced than red rubber or butyl septa. For thicker, hard-to-pierce septa, a small gauge (23 gauge) needle may be required, or a stronger S-needle can be used. Preslit septa are the best option for easy penetration, reducing the likelihood of coring.

Optimization of SPME Extraction Conditions GC Injector Setup To reduce inlet septa coring, we strongly recommend using molded Thermogreen® LB-2 septa with injection hole. Also, make sure that the injection port contains an appropriate liner. The use of a liner designed specifically for SPME with a narrow I.D. (0.75 mm - 1.0
