Description
20 mm Butyl/PTFE septum disc is a formed sealing disc for laboratory vials and related analytical closures. The construction pairs a butyl elastomer body with a PTFE facing, combining elastic resealing behaviour with a chemically resistant contact surface. Specified hardness is 50° Shore A and disc thickness is 3,0 mm, supporting controlled needle penetration and reliable reseal after sampling in routine GC, HPLC and general sample-handling workflows.
This article is part of Vial caps & septa, in Vials, caps & septa.
Each unit is supplied as 10 packs of 100 pieces, giving 1000 discs per order for high-throughput preparation and stock replenishment. The 20 mm formed geometry is intended for consistent seating under matching crimp or screw caps used on standard laboratory vials. Grey colour coding aids quick visual identification at the bench. This product from manufacturer Altmann Analytik is described as an alternative to VWR article 548-0569, helping laboratories source a compatible butyl/PTFE disc format without changing established 20 mm closure practices. Typical applications include solvent-containing samples, headspace work and everyday vial sealing where a PTFE barrier over butyl is preferred for chemical compatibility and clean sample contact.

Questions about 20mm Moulded Septa Butyl/PTFE, grey, 50° shore A, 3.0mm, 10 x 100 pc
What is this article?
20mm Moulded Septa Butyl/PTFE, grey, 50° shore A, 3.0mm, 10 x 100 pc is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Altmann Analytik for laboratory use. It sits in Vial caps & septa, inside Vials, caps & septa, in Chromatography equipment.
A vial cap and a septum have to match the vial neck: crimp, screw or snap, and the diameter. The septum material, PTFE/silicone or rubber, decides chemical resistance and how many times a needle can pierce it. A septum that sheds into the solvent becomes ghost peaks.
An autosampler vial is the small closed bottle a chromatograph picks up. The neck is crimp, screw or snap, and the cap and the septum have to be that neck. The septum is the part the needle pierces. A soft septum reseals. A septum that is wrong for the solvent swells or sheds particles into the sample. Inserts reduce the volume when the sample is scarce. The separation they feed is described with IUPAC names and PubChem data.
