Solvent Extraction Safety Caps: safety starts at the source
In every modern laboratory, the safe storage and extraction of chemicals is a priority. The LabLids Solvent Extraction Caps offer a high-quality, closed solution for liquid management. By using a 100% closed system, you minimise exposure to harmful vapours, prevent evaporation of costly reagents and protect the integrity of your mobile phases.
Zeg vaarwel tegen provisorische oplossingen zoals paraffinefolie of aluminiumfolie. With the LabLids safety caps from Inacom you choose a professional, leak-free and chemically resistant closure.
How it works: the closed system
The LabLids Solvent Extraction Caps are designed with ease of use and maximum protection in mind:
- One-way check valve: An integrated PEEK/RVS316 check valve lets clean air in to prevent a vacuum, but keeps harmful solvent vapours inside the bottle.
- PTFE insert: The fluid path is made entirely of chemically inert PTFE, guaranteeing compatibility with virtually all lab solvents.
- Independent collar: The polypropylene thread collar rotates independently of the insert. This lets you tighten the cap without your tubing twisting or getting damaged.
- Particle filter: Built-in filters protect your instrument against airborne contamination during extraction.
Available models & sizes
Geen fles is hetzelfde. That is why Inacom offers a wide range of LabLids for the most common container threads:
| Thread size | Suitable for | Feature |
|---|
| GL45 | Standard glass laboratory bottles | Most popular standard |
| 38-400 | Wako, Cubitainer, F-style jugs | Ideal for bulk storage |
| 38-430 | Nalgene and comparable plastic bottles | For aggressive chemicals |
| GL38 | Specific glass bottles | Compact connection |
| S40 / S42 | Various plastic containers | For larger volumes |
Custom work with adapters
Do you have bottles with a non-standard thread? With our GL45 adapters you can easily convert any standard LabLid to 38-430, S40 or other formats.
Configuration options
Our safety caps are available with 2, 3 or 4 ports (1/4-28 flat-bottom) for tubing connections. You can also choose from three different elastomers for the check valve seal:
- EPDM (blue): Suitable for general use and polar solvents.
- Viton (green): Excellent resistance to acids and hydrocarbons.
- FFKM (yellow): The ultimate choice for the most aggressive chemicals.
Why choose LabLids through Inacom?
First, you immediately increase the safety of your analysts by eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the lab air. Next, you save costs because solvents no longer evaporate unnecessarily, which benefits the stability of your mobile phase.
Applications:
- HPLC / UHPLC solvent supply.
- Synthesis setups.
- General liquid storage and extraction.
