Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) is proud to be a world-class manufacturer of autosampler caps and septa, serving the diverse and demanding needs of laboratories worldwide. From high-purity materials to state-of-the-art production capabilities, SSP delivers superior products that meet the rigorous requirements of today’s lab environments.
Engineered for Compatibility and Performance
SSP supplies autosampler septa and caps that are compatible with a wide variety of laboratory equipment, including both liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) instruments. We use high-purity silicone rubber and premium-quality PTFE films to ensure exceptional performance. These materials are designed to handle the demanding conditions of laboratory applications, such as high temperatures, high pressures, and prolonged exposure to challenging environments.
Our septa are:
- Tailored for Performance: Offering cleanliness, ease of piercing, and optimal compatibility with autosamplers.
- Versatile: Available for headspace vials and magnetic caps, as well as open-top or closed-top screw caps.
- Reliable: With superior re-sealing properties to maintain sample integrity.
Unmatched Manufacturing Capabilities
At SSP, our Ballston Spa, New York manufacturing facility is equipped with cutting-edge cutting and insertion equipment, ensuring precision and quality in every septa we produce. Unlike many competitors, we maintain large inventories of process materials, enabling us to fulfill orders quickly and efficiently.
Our in-house machine shop allows us to design, build, and maintain all our molds and dies, reducing the time and cost required for new tooling. Whether you need standard products or custom solutions, SSP’s vertical integration means faster turnaround times and reduced costs for your laboratory needs.
The Science Behind Superior Septa
Autosampler closures play a critical role in automated sampling, where robotic devices pick, place, and pierce vials with a high degree of precision. SSP’s autosampler septa are designed to withstand these demanding conditions, offering exceptional durability, analytical purity, and ease of use. Key features include:
- Platinum-Cured Silicones: Our ultra-low bleed platinum-catalyzed silicones won’t release byproducts into samples, ensuring sample purity.
- Easy Pierce™ Technology: Balancing ease of needle penetration with re-sealability and resistance to evaporation. Unlike some septa that compromise on penetration, our Easy Pierce™ technology protects needles and prevents disruptions to autosampler motors.
- Application-Specific Designs: SSP septa are tailored to withstand high-pressure liquid chromatography and the extreme temperatures of gas chromatography ovens.
Made in the USA for Quality You Can Trust
Every SSP septa and cap is proudly made in the USA at our Ballston Spa facility, where quality control and customer satisfaction are our top priorities. Our autosampler septa come in a range of options, including:
- Specific PTFE films in various colors and thicknesses.
- Bags of 100 or 1000.
- Pre-assembled options for headspace vials or screw, snap, crimp, or magnetic caps.
