PATIKIL Headspace Vial 10ml Borosilicate Glass PTFE Silicone Septa

Description

Product Overview

The PATIKIL 10ml headspace vial is engineered for precision analytical work in modern laboratories. Crafted from premium borosilicate glass, the vial offers superior thermal shock resistance, allowing it to endure rapid temperature changes without compromising structural integrity. The clear, chemically inert glass provides an unobstructed view of sample contents, facilitating easy visual inspection and verification. A precision‑machined screw‑thread cap, sized 11 × 18 mm, ensures a tight, repeatable seal that aligns perfectly with standard autosampler instruments. Integrated within the cap is a PTFE silicone septum, delivering an airtight barrier that resists solvent permeation and maintains sample integrity over extended storage periods. The vial’s graduated markings at 2.5 ml intervals aid in accurate volume assessment, while the pre‑slit septum design simplifies needle penetration, reducing the risk of sample loss or contamination.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of headspace applications, this vial excels in gas chromatography (GC), headspace‑GC/MS, and solid‑gas analysis workflows. Researchers in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceutical development, and petrochemical analysis rely on its consistent performance to generate reproducible results. The vial’s robust construction makes it suitable for high‑temperature incubations, such as thermal desorption processes, as well as low‑temperature storage for volatile compounds. Its compatibility with standard autosampler racks ensures seamless integration into automated workflows, reducing manual handling time and minimizing human error. Whether used for routine quality control or advanced research, the PATIKIL headspace vial provides the reliability required for critical analytical measurements.

FAQ

What temperature range can the vial withstand?

The borosilicate glass construction allows the vial to tolerate temperatures from -196 °C (liquid nitrogen) up to 500 °C, making it suitable for most headspace heating protocols.

Is the PTFE silicone septum compatible with all solvents?

Yes, the septum is chemically resistant to a wide range of organic solvents, acids, and bases commonly used in analytical chemistry, ensuring no leaching or degradation.

Can the vial be used with standard autosampler racks?

Absolutely. The 11 × 18 mm cap size conforms to industry‑standard autosampler specifications, allowing seamless integration with most GC and LC autosamplers.

What is the recommended storage condition for unused vials?

Store vials in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in a sealed container further protects the septa from dust and moisture.

How do I ensure a leak‑free seal during sample injection?

Apply consistent torque to the cap using a calibrated torque wrench (typically 5–7 Nm). This ensures the PTFE silicone septum compresses evenly, creating a reliable airtight barrier.
