GC Septa

GC septa from Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) are used in gas chromatography (GC) applications, a group of techniques for separating and analyzing volatile compounds.

Products include both disc-shaped septa and Shimadzu plugs. 

GC Septa: Injection 

In GC systems, a sample is injected through a rubber septum into a heated vaporization chamber. A carrier gas transports the sample into the GC column. This long, thin tube is filled with a stationary phase material that’s used to separate different compounds in a sample mixture based on their interactions with the stationary phase as they are carried through he column by a flowing gas (mobile phase).

GC Septa: Detection 

A mass spectrometer (MS) or other detector at the end of the column measures components in the compound.  Mass spectrometry is an analytical tool useful for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample. 

Syringe Injection

In syringe injection systems, high-quality gas chromatography septa are critical. These accessories need to introduce the sample without leakage and withstand the high-temperatures of the inlet.

What is Septa Bleed?

If a septum decomposes under these conditions, a condition known as bleed can cause baseline disruption and ghost peaks in the chromatogram.

Silicone Septa: Ultra Pure

Gas chromatography septa from SSP are formulated and manufactured using ultra pure silicone elastomers and then conditioned for:

  • Ultra Low Bleed
  • High Temperature Resistance (240C)
  • Long Lasting (multiple injections)
  • Resist Coring

Custom Septa Available

SSP can also supply you with custom septa based on your specifications. 

Made in USA with ISO 9001:2015 Quality

All our silicone septa are made in the USA at our Ballston Spa, New York facility. SSP’s Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to ISO 9001:2015.
