Caps, Snap Top, with Soft-Guard, White Silicone Rubber / Red PTFE Pre-Slit Septa, fitted in smooth, polyethylene, Green 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 consistent autosampler performance.
The 9502C‑E‑30G‑M Soft‑Guard™ Snap Caps combine a pre‑slit septa design with advanced Soft‑Guard™ silicone formulation to optimize both needle penetration and resealing performance. The pre‑slit reduces resistance during injection, while the Soft‑Guard™ material improves resealing compared to standard septa—helping extend instrument uptime and minimize missed injections.
Pre‑slit septa are commonly recommended for autosampler systems such as Waters® Alliance and Acquity, where smooth and consistent needle entry improves reliability and reduces wear on system components.
The bonded PTFE/silicone septa provide excellent chemical resistance and protect sample integrity across HPLC and LC‑MS workflows. The green polyethylene cap enables clear visual identification and supports color‑coded workflows for improved organization in high‑throughput laboratories.
