Macherey-Nagel offers screw neck vials specifically designed for Headspace applications, featuring a magnetic N18 closure that ensures a more convenient, consistent, and secure sealing process compared to traditional crimped closures. These vials are made of hydrolytic class I borosilicate glass, ensuring high chemical resistance and thermal stability—essential for precise GC Headspace analyses.
The N18 magnetic closure has a thinner septum (1.5 mm vs 3 mm), allowing easier needle penetration and less septum coring, which is particularly important for SPME (Solid Phase Micro Extraction). Its flat magnet surface prevents full vials from detaching during extraction—a common issue with crimped vials due to convex cap tops.
Available in clear or amber glass to protect light-sensitive samples, these vials are compatible with a wide range of autosamplers and automated systems, offering a reliable and efficient solution for laboratories requiring accuracy and safety in Headspace analysis.
