5 Vial selection In order to visualize the most important characteristics that differentiate the different type of vials, we show below some drawings to help you identify a vial: Neck Design General Info Headspace neck (bevelelled neck) DIN Crimp neck (Flat crimp neck) special neck for SPME vial (thicker crimp neck) Snap ring neck Can be used with snap ring caps ND11 or crimp caps ND11) Fire polished neck (Shell vials) Standard screw neck (Thread runs down the shoulder of the vial) Short thread ND9 (Thread ends in the middle of the neck so that there is still some space between the edge and of the cap and the shoulder of the vials for robotic arms) Precision Thread ND18 for headsapce and SPME Snap cap neck (sample storage containers, no autosampler vials) Bottom Design Flat bottom rounded bottom (HS-bottom) Round bottom Conical bottom Solid glass bottom of a microliter vial with inner cone Besides standard glass vials, Brechbuehler also supply some silanized glass products. Silanized glass products are used to reduce the adsorption of polar compounds onto the surface of the glass container (e.g. Protein analysis). Some compounds like aminos, proteins or phenols tend to react with the glass. The silanization process prevents this by deactivating the glass surface. Page 5

6 Seals General Info Seals are the assembled combination of a cap and septa. To carry out a correct analysis, it is important that besides the vial also the seal is inert and uncontaminated LA-PHA-PACK assemble and pack their seals fully automatically in an uncertified clean room. Thus it is guaranteed that they are not contaminated by human skin fat, or sweat, as it would be in case of manual assembly. Photocells check the orientation of the liner so that it is ensured that the PTFE lamination is always directed towards the sample to build an inert barrier between the sample and carrier material of the septa. A gauge controls that not more or less than one liner is installed. The final seals are counted and not weighted by automates to guarantee quantity obedience. They are packed in a tamper evident zip-lock bags that allow easy identification of the content due to the transparent PE material. The zip-lock enabled resealing of the bag to avoid any contamination of the closure during consumption. The batch number of the manufactured seal is printed on each PE bag for traceability reasons. Besides a final inspection of the physical specification of the seals, all closures that carry the indication UltraClean are also GC controlled in an external lab with regards to a possible release of volatiles. UltraBond seals are closures where the caps and the septa from and un-separable unit without the usage of any glue or adhesive which are not allowed in chromatography products. This solid connection is achieved by a patented process changing ht molecular structure of the cap and the septa surface so that they form a unit. Thus it is ensured that the septa are not pushed into the vial during penetration, even if the needle is very thick and blunt. Example for such UltraBond seals are 24mm screw seals for EPA vials or 9mm short thread seals for short thread vials. Screw caps (open top/closed top) Short thread caps (open top/closed top) Magnetic Crimp Caps 5mm center hole Magnetic Crimp Caps 8mm center hole Magnetic bimetal crimp cap (8mm cneter hole) Magnetic Screw Caps 5mm center hole/closed top Page 6

7 Septa The right choice of septa depends on the application. Almost all septa are laminated on one side with PTFE, which has a high chemical resistance and forms an inert barrier between the sample and carrier material of the septa. The carrier materials have different physical and chemical properties, such as temperature resistance, reseal ability properties, cleanliness, hardness, thickness, etc The individual conditions of the customer s application aim at the specific characteristics of the carrier material: Multiple injection? Temperature? Thin fragile needle? General Info Good resealability properties necessary -40 C up to 120 C -60 C up to 200 C Soft and thin septa required Natural rubber/tef Natural rubber/tef Butyl/PTFE Silicone/PTFE Silicone/PTFE Blunt, thick needle? Critical analysis? LowCoring? Slitted liner as penetration aid (HPLC) very clean liner required Both sides PTFE laminated liners required Silicone/PTFE UltraClean Silicone/PTFE PTFE/Silicone/PTFE PTFE/Butyl/PTFE Natural Rubber / TEF Silicone/PTFE PTFE/Silicone/PTFE PTFE/Butyl/PTFE Butyl / PTFE Page 7

Through a patented processing technique the molecular structure of the contact areas of the PP Screw Cap and the liner are changed in such a way that without usage of any glue or adhesive the components form a firm unit. Reasons for making such a seal instead of a just assembled cap/liner combination seal could be: - For instruments with very thick and dull needles, in order to avoid the risk of pushing the liner into the vial during penetration process (9mm UltraBondTM Seals for Short Thread Vials) - For screw caps with a wide diameter, where a liner cannot achieve any press-fit in the cap (24mm UltraBondTMSeals for EPA-Vials) LC vials ND9, ND Silicone white / PTFE red, 1.0mm, 55 shore A Replacement Septa only: PTFE red/silicone white/ptfe red, 1.0ml, 45 shore A Replacement Septa only: Silicone white / PTFE blue, 1.0mm, 55 shore A, slitted (Completely slitted through all septa layers (through Silicone + PTFE) Replacement Septa only: Silicone white / PTFE red, 1.0mm, 55 shore A, pre-cut (Y) (Only Silicone is slitted through in Y-form) 9mm Short Thread Seals with a transparent, red, black, green or yellow cap as well as blue closed top version are available upon request pre-screwed vials Available upon request Page 15

21 Crimping tips Recognizing an incorrect crimp: Correct Crimp Flat cap surface Flat septa surface Untight aluminum edge Upward bulge of the crimp top Deformation of the crimp cap sides Convex looking liner Rounded edges/upward bulge of the cap/liner Tight lifting of the aluminum edge Plain & un deformed cap sides Adjust crimping pressure with the screw in the handle + Adjust crimping height with the Allen wrench (see bellow) Under crimped Adjust crimping pressure with the screw in the handle + Adjust crimping height with the Allen wrench (see bellow) Over crimped Adjust crimping height with the Allen wrench (see bellow) Over crimped Adjust crimping pressure with the screw in the handle Over crimped With headspace it is especially important not to over crimp them. If the aluminum id stretched too much under the crimped neck, the bridges of the score lines suffer too much stress and can break event at low pressure (below 30psi), or, in worst case, can even tear apart at the score lines Over crimped Page 21
