Septa Liners for Pharmaceutical Applications
Septa liners for pharmaceutical applications are specialized sealing components used in vials, bottles, and other containers. They maintain product integrity, prevent contamination, and ensure proper sampling.
SSP’s silicone septum are typically lined with PTFE; however, we are also developing PFAS-free products. Our clean, pure silicones provide analytical purity for pharmaceutical and chromatography applications, and for EPA/VOA testing. They also allow for repeated needle punctures while maintaining a secure seal.
Key Functions of Septa Liners in Pharmaceuticals
- Sealing & Containment – Prevents leakage and protects pharmaceutical contents from contamination.
- Chemical Compatibility – Resistant to various solvents, drugs, and reagents to avoid interactions.
- Sterility Maintenance – Ensures that the drug or sample remains sterile and free from external contaminants.
- Multiple Punctures – Allows for repeated syringe or needle access without compromising the seal.
Pharmaceutical Applications
- Injectable Drugs – Ensures sterility and allows safe syringe access.
- Chromatography & Analytical Testing – Used in sample vials for HPLC, GC, and LC-MS.
- Storage of Sensitive Compounds – Helps maintain stability in harsh conditions.
About SSP and SeptaSource
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is a global provider of silicone technologies. SSP was founded in 1989 by four employees of GE Silicones who saw the potential in new niche markets and realized that innovative products were needed to meet this growing demand. For the pharmaceutical industry, SSP’s founders began developing PTFE-lined silicone septa and caps.
Today, SSP offers these standard and custom products:
- Autosampler septa
- Gas chromatography (GC) septa
- Bonded caps
- Magnetic caps
- EPA/VOA septa
- Cap mats
- Ultra Low bleed septa for GC-MS and LC-MS
