Description
Product Overview
The Hamilton 76016 Septa is engineered for high‑performance liquid chromatography applications where reliability and precision are paramount. Constructed with a three‑layer polymer architecture, each septum delivers a robust barrier that resists chemical degradation while providing a smooth, self‑sealing surface for repeated needle penetrations. The 15 mm diameter matches standard LC column fittings, ensuring a secure fit that prevents leaks and contamination during sample injection. Designed to withstand temperatures up to 200 °C, these septa maintain structural integrity even under rigorous thermal cycling, making them suitable for a wide range of analytical methods, including gradient elution and high‑temperature separations. Each pack contains twelve individually wrapped septa, allowing laboratories to maintain a ready supply without compromising sterility or performance. The product dimensions of 6.3 × 2.99 × 0.91 inches and a lightweight of 1.27 ounces per unit facilitate easy storage and handling, while the model number 76016 provides a clear reference for inventory management. Manufactured by Thomas Scientific, a trusted name in laboratory supplies, the septa meet stringent quality standards and are backed by a reputation for durability and consistency.
Usage
These septa are ideally suited for routine use in research and quality‑control laboratories that perform LC analysis on a daily basis. The three‑layer design accommodates up to 100 injections with a 26‑gauge needle, delivering consistent sealing performance that minimizes sample loss and cross‑contamination. Users can employ the septa in a variety of chromatographic setups, including reversed‑phase, normal‑phase, and ion‑exchange columns, as well as in high‑pressure environments where temperature stability is critical. The septa’s ability to tolerate 200 °C expands their applicability to methods that require elevated temperatures for improved separation efficiency. Because the septa are supplied in a pack of twelve, laboratories can rotate usage to extend overall lifespan, ensuring that each septum is used within its optimal injection window. The product’s compact packaging also supports cleanroom environments, where space is at a premium and contamination control is essential. Whether the application involves pharmaceutical compound analysis, environmental testing, or food safety screening, the Hamilton 76016 Septa provides a dependable sealing solution that enhances method reproducibility and data quality.
