8 mm Polyethylene Starburst Snap Plugs

Features:

• Needle Protection: The starburst center minimizes resistance during needle entry, which is critical for preventing bent needles and reducing mechanical wear on your autosampler
• Excellent Sealing: Manufactured from high-quality polyethylene, these plugs provide a secure friction fit into the shell vial, preventing sample evaporation and contamination
• Easy Application: Designed for simple manual application—just snap the plug into the vial neck. No crimping tools or decappers are required, significantly speeding up sample preparation
• Chemical Compatibility: Polyethylene is highly resistant to a wide range of laboratory solvents, making these plugs suitable for both aqueous and organic chromatography applications

Usage Tips:

• Proper Seating: When applying the plug, ensure it is pressed firmly until it is flush with the top of the shell vial. An unevenly seated plug can lead to injection errors or "hang-ups" in the autosampler carousel
• Single Use: While polyethylene is durable, these plugs are designed for single-use to ensure the integrity of the starburst seal and prevent cross-contamination between samples
