Septum
At MVC Polymers, a leading manufacturer based in Bangalore, we specialize in producing high-quality Septa designed for reliable sealing while enabling repeated, clean needle penetration and effective resealing. Our septa are meticulously engineered to meet the stringent demands for purity, inertness, and consistent performance across diverse applications, from critical laboratory analysis to sensitive medical devices.
Excellent Resealability: The primary feature of a septum. Materials like silicone or specialized rubber compounds possess an elastic memory that allows them to effectively close up after being punctured by a needle, minimizing leakage and maintaining sample integrity.
High Purity & Inertness: Many septa are manufactured from non-toxic, non-leaching, and chemically inert materials. This prevents contamination of sensitive samples or reagents, critical in analytical, medical, and pharmaceutical applications.
Broad Temperature Range: Depending on the material (e.g., silicone excels here), septa can perform reliably across a wide range of temperatures, from freezing to high heat, suitable for various storage and processing conditions.
Chemical Resistance: Offers resistance to a variety of common laboratory chemicals, solvents, and biological media. The specific resistance varies greatly by material (e.g., PTFE/Silicone laminates offer superior chemical resistance to neat silicone).
Flexibility & Ease of Penetration: The material's softness and elasticity allow for easy needle penetration with minimal force, preventing needle bending, coring (punching out a piece of the septum), and premature wear.
Sterilization Compatibility: Many materials used for septa (like silicone) can withstand various sterilization methods, including autoclaving, EtO, and gamma irradiation, making them suitable for sterile environments.
Low Volatility: Minimizes outgassing of contaminants into sensitive systems, which is crucial for precise analytical measurements.
Variety of Configurations: Available in solid discs, with pre-drilled holes, or with slits (e.g., cross-slits) for easier penetration or specific dispensing needs.
Durability: Engineered for a certain number of punctures and to withstand the stresses of sealing over time.processes.
Septa by MVC Polymers: Precision Sealing for Controlled Access
Key Features :
Septa are indispensable components in various precision applications across multiple industries:

Autosampler Septa: Crucial for automated injection of samples into chromatographs, providing a tight seal in the injection port after each needle penetration.
Headspace Vials: Sealing vials used for gas sampling.
Laboratory & Research:
Seals for vials, bottles, and culture tubes for sample storage, reaction vessels, and analysis.
Lids for sterile containers and fermentation vessels, allowing sampling.
Stoppers for blood collection tubes and other medical sample containers.
Sealing for gas sampling bags and environmental monitoring devices.
Medical & Pharmaceutical:
Drug delivery systems (e.g., infusion bags with injection ports).
Diagnostic kits and reagents.
Pre-filled syringe plungers (as a puncturable seal for drug delivery).
Vial stoppers for injectable medications.
Environmental Monitoring:
Sampling ports for air, water, or soil analysis.
Industrial Automation & Dispensing:
Components in fluid dispensing systems where precise, repeatable access to chemicals or reagents is needed.
