Test on the tightness of the ZeroSept®AIR

Vial closures with ZeroSept®AIR septum "PTFEvirginal/AIR/PTFEvirginal"

The new septum seal with an air cushion instead of an elastomer for standard vial closures. Due to its innovative design, the ZeroSept®AIR septum PTFEvirginal/AIR/PTFEvirginal has a high tightness, even with multiple injections!

This makes the septum highly pure and, among other things, very interesting for trace analysis. It fits, in combination with our standard bottles, into all common GC/ HPLC systems and can also be moved with your autosampler in the magnetic version.
