Injection Port Septum
Even when a low bleed septum is used, bleeding is not totally eliminated. The type of bleeding differs according to the septum type and bleeding appears as different peaks on a chromatogram. In high-sensitivity analysis, you need to select and use a septum that does not cause bleeding at a position where interference occurs with the target compound.
When using an autosampler, it is recommended to exchange the septum after about 100 injections. If the injection is done manually or the outer diameter of the needle is thick, the septa should be replaced more often.

Using this septum alleviates the problem of reduced durability when the vaporizing chamber is used continuously at 450°C. Compared to the LL septum, the increase in bleed when used at high temperatures is kept at a lower level. The problem of sticking to the vaporizing chamber during continuous use at high temperatures experienced with a conventional septum has also been eliminated.
