Description
Septum N20 butyl red/PTFE grey is a laminated pierceable septum for N 20 vial closures used in analytical sealing. Red butyl rubber is combined with a grey PTFE facing so that the chemically resistant PTFE side contacts the sample while the elastomeric butyl layer maintains sealing force and reseal behaviour after needle penetration. Hardness is 50° Shore A and septum thickness is 3,0 mm, a combination suited to consistent performance in headspace GC and related techniques. Packaged as 100 pieces from manufacturer Macherey-Nagel, these septa fit standard N 20 crimp and compatible closure systems. The laminate helps limit adsorption and contamination relative to uncoated elastomers, supporting residual solvent analysis, volatile organic work, and routine sample storage. Laboratories can stock the 100-piece pack for high-throughput preparation lines or general chromatography support. The defined 3,0 mm thickness and 50° Shore A hardness balance ease of piercing with mechanical durability across typical injection sequences.

Questions about Septa N20 But r/PTFE gr, 50°, 3.0
What is this article?
Septa N20 But r/PTFE gr, 50°, 3.0 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel 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.
