SSP has developed a PFAS-free 9MM screw cap with a polypropylene/silicone septa. Read EPA final ruling here.
SSP manufactures a wide range of autosampler caps and septa that are analytically pure and easy to pierce.
Bonded caps from SSP are made of polypropylene (PP) and bonded with PTFE/Silicone septa that is easy to pierce.
Specifically formulated and manufactured resulting in a virtually analytically pure, ultra low bleed septum.
Easy Pierce™ septa from SSP are specifically formulated to pierce easier with fragile/thin syringes.
Our ultra pure PTFE/Silicone septa are ideal for U.S. EPA water and soil testing requirements.
Magnetic caps are designed for autosamplers, such as CTC’s Pal system, that use a magnet to move vials.
Our 96 well ultra pure cap mats protect samples for high speed throughput testing. Available with pre-slit plugs too.
GC septa from SSP are ultra pure, high temp resistant and long lasting for multiple injections.
Custom septa from Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) are available for just about any application that requires analytical purity. At our manufacturing facility in Ballston Spa, New York, we have one of the industry’s largest ranges of dies, molds, caps, and silicone formulations. With our application knowledge and technical expertise, SSP can create the custom septa or septa/cap assembly that you need.
When selecting chromatography consumables, laboratories often focus on vial size, cap design, septum material, or compatibility with a particular instrument. But one factor that can have a significant impact on
From healthcare and electronics to environmental science, many cutting-edge technologies rely on an often-overlooked material: polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Thanks to its flexibility, transparency, biocompatibility, and exceptional gas permeability, PDMS membranes have
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is unlike any tournament before it. With teams from 48 countries competing across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the event is the largest World
In High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), system performance is often evaluated in terms of pumps, detectors, and columns. However, seemingly minor consumables such as septa can have a substantial impact
In chromatographic analysis, tiny details often decide whether results are pristine or problematic. Among these, the correct use of vial caps and septa plays a surprisingly powerful role. Improper sealing
In chromatography, success rarely hinges on a single decision. Instead, it is built quietly through hundreds of small choices that shape data quality, reproducibility, and instrument health. Among these, the
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
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) provides answers to some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about silicone septum products. What is a silicone septum? A silicone septum is a precision‑molded sealing component used
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) will participate in Pittcon 2026, the premier event for laboratory science, from March 7-11, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. SSP will be represented by Adam Stiles, President
Septa durometer, a measure of the septum material’s hardness, is usually measured on the Shore A scale. In High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), it directly affects system performance and sample integrity.
