Product Description
Pairing an unlined aluminum seal with the right septum lets you choose exactly how a vial interacts with its contents and with the needle. These septa give crimp-sealed vials a clean, chemically resistant barrier that holds up to repeated needle access and storage.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number W224163: Septa, 20 mm, Red Silicone, Case of 1,000. Options include PTFE-faced silicone, plain red silicone and a molded gray butyl septum with a PTFE inset, whose combined butyl and PTFE sealing surface gives a more positive seal than flat PTFE-faced septa. Sizes fit vials with 13 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm mouth OD, and are placed under an unlined seal before crimping. LIGHT LABS ships genuine DWK Life Sciences products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
