Catalog Number - 9502C-E-30LBX-M

Snap caps provide a fast, press‑fit sealing solution that simplifies vial preparation while maintaining consistent autosampler performance. The X‑shape pre‑slit septa increases the target area for autosampler needles, allowing easier alignment and reduced resistance during penetration.

The 9502C‑E‑30LBX‑M Soft‑Guard™ Snap Caps combine this X‑slit configuration with advanced Soft‑Guard™ silicone formulation, delivering easier penetration while maintaining improved resealing compared to standard septa. This helps extend instrument uptime, reduce missed injections, and improve consistency in high‑throughput analytical workflows.

Pre‑slit septa are commonly recommended for Waters® Alliance and Acquity systems. While the X‑slit design enhances targeting and ease of penetration, it provides slightly reduced resealing compared to single‑slit septa. The bonded PTFE/silicone septa ensure strong chemical resistance, while the light blue cap enables clear identification and efficient workflow color‑coding.
