Meet SSP at Analytica Munich 2026
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) will attend Analytica Munich from March 24-27, 2026, and share information about its clean, pure SeptaSource products. Analytica Munich is the flagship event in a premiere series of tradeshows and conferences about laboratory technologies. Kevin Wickert, Sales and Marketing Manager, and Juan Reina, Business Development Manager, will represent SSP. SSP’s SeptaSource line includes standard and custom septa, septa caps, and sealing cap maps for microplates. These laboratory products combine superior quality with analytical purity. They’re manufactured from premium-grade silicone elastomers in accordance with SSP’s ISO 9001:2015 quality management system in Ballston Spa, New York (USA). Silicone Septa: Standard and Custom SSP’s silicone septa are precision sealing components used in gas chromatography (GC), with autosamplers, and in other high-purity laboratory applications. Among septa materials, silicone is preferred because it combines elasticity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. Silicone septa can be bonded to a thin PTFE layer for enhanced resealability and chemical resistance. Among its advantages, silicone exhibits low extractables and can reseal after puncture. In addition, silicone maintains its mechanical properties under heat and solvent exposure. SSP makes standard silicone septa for today’s laboratory equipment and can supply custom septa for non-standard applications, such as when a softer or harder material is required. Septa Caps Septa caps are laboratory closures that can be bonded to a silicone septum to ensure secure, consistent sealing. SSP’s bonded caps are made from polypropylene (PP) plastic and bonded to platinum-cured silicone septa that’s easy-to-pierce. To ensure analytical purity, SSP uses a proprietary bonding process that won’t add contaminants that could leach into laboratory samples. SSP also provides magnetic caps that are made from aluminum and designed for autosamplers, such as CDTC’s Pal system, that use a magnet to move vials. The cap’s center hole supports laboratory testing but still provides enough surface area for the magnet to securely hold an autosampler vial that’s been filled. Septa caps can be screwed-on, snapped-on, or crimped. Sealing Cap Mats Sealing cap mats are engineered to fit precisely over the wells of microplates and ensure that each sample is securely sealed and protected. SSP makes cap mats from a proprietary, platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomer that combines durability with resistance to contamination. Ultra-low bleed cap mats are specifically formulated to minimize siloxane peaks. SSP’s sealing cap mats are available with either round or square plugs for various microplate designs. To facilitate easy access to samples, these cap mats are available with cross slits that allow pipettes or syringes to penetrate the mat. In addition to standard products like 96 well plate cap mats, SSP offers custom cap mats with unique designs and colors.
