Septa are an important part of the GC instrument, providing a leak-free seal at the inlet, and require good durability, resealability and low bleed to optimize the performance of your instrument.
Septa from Thermo Fisher Scientific are available in several types of materials, described below, to fit Thermo Fisher Scientific's GC and GC/MS instruments as well as other manufacturers’ instruments, matching different application needs.
TCS Triple layer with Teflon 280 °C
CS Silicone with Teflon 200 °C
Auto-Sep™ High Grade Silicone 320 °C
Auto-Sep T™ High Grade Silicone with Teflon 350 °C
BTO® Low Bleed Silicone 400 °C
TR-Green High Temperature, Long Life 400 °C
BTO septa are recommended for use with Thermo Scientific TRACE and FOCUS injectors, although other septa may also be used.
