Septa

Septa for Headspace Vials from Agilent Technologies

Make sure the septa you choose are chemically compatible with your sample and solvent.  Chemical compatibility can vary, based on factors such as solvent concentration, molecular weight, and temperature.

During manufacture, Agilent septa undergo thermal and chemical conditioning to reduce siloxane bleed, which can occur when the septa material is stressed during heating, solvent interaction, or piercing by the autosampler needle.
