Caps, Snap Top, with Soft-Guard, White Silicone Rubber / Red PTFE Pre-Slit Septa, fitted in smooth, polyethylene, Natural Transparent Caps. For use with 11mm, 12x32mm Snap Top autosampler vials. Soft-Guard Brand. 1000/CS.
Additional Info:
Snap caps provide a fast, press‑fit sealing solution that simplifies vial preparation while maintaining reliable autosampler performance.
The 9502C‑E‑30C‑M Soft‑Guard™ Snap Caps combine pre‑slit septa design with advanced Soft‑Guard™ silicone formulation to optimize both needle penetration and resealing performance. The pre‑slit reduces resistance during injections, while the Soft‑Guard™ material enhances resealing compared to standard septa—helping reduce missed injections and extend instrument uptime.
Pre‑slit septa are commonly recommended for autosampler systems such as Waters® Alliance and Acquity, where consistent needle entry and reduced penetration force are critical for reliable performance.
The bonded PTFE/silicone septa provide excellent chemical resistance and protect sample integrity across HPLC and LC‑MS workflows. The natural (transparent) polyethylene cap allows clear visual inspection and alignment, offering added convenience for high‑throughput laboratories.
