General Description
Mininert™ Valves
Leak-tight closure with syringe access
Take a sample with no exposure of vial contents to the atmosphere
Models for virtually any laboratory glassware
Screw-cap and crimp-top vials, test tubes, flasks, reaction chambers,
1/4-28 or pipe thread
Economical
Save time andmoney through conservation of reagents, etc.
Replaceable septum
Easily replacedwith no exposure of contents to atmosphere
Simple installation
No tools required
Mininert push-button valves are highly dependable, leak-tight closures for
screw-cap vials and other laboratory containers. When usedwith a glass vial,
only PTFE and glass are in contact with the contents. Their unique features
makeMininert valves the ideal closure for calibration standards, air- or
moisture-sensitive fluids, derivatizing reagents, volatile chemicals, etc.
Operation is extremely simple – push the green button to open the valve,
insert the needle through the septumand take a sample, withdraw the needle,
and push the red button to close the valve.
SPECS
TEMPERATURE
Mininert valves can be
used at temperature up
to 40°C. However, after
use at high temperatures,
the valve may leak
slightly when cooled
to room temperature.
PRESSURE
The sealing ability of
Mininert valves is more
than adequate to
contain most volatile
liquids and gases at
low pressures. Mininert
valves have been used
as high as 120 psi with-
out leakage, but this is
NOT a recommendation
for pressurizing glass
containers to these
levels. Such
pressurization of glass
containers can be
extremely dangerous.
CHEMICAL
RESISTANCE
PTFE is highly inert and
may be used with most
common materials. It
is particularly useful
for working with most
acids and organic
solvents. However,
problems may be
encountered when
used with
organometallics and
some strong bases.
We recommend actual
exposure test before
use with any material.
Valves for vials
The screw-capMininert is available in a variety of sizes.
The crimp-top valve for 13mm ID glassware slides into
the neck of the vial and features a threaded flange which
is turned to provide a leak-tight fit.
