Agilent Crimp Kits
Agilent crimp kits are a convenient way to order crimp vials and crimp caps together.
Convenience packs are an easy way to get 500 of each component using one part number. Packed in a six-drawer, reusable blue plastic cabinet, 500 vials and caps with septa installed are kept handy and dust-free.
Vial kits are packs of vials with caps. These kits are not pre-assembled and do not come in storage drawers like the convenience pack.
The crimp caps are secured to the crimp vials with either Agilent manual crimpers, or Agilent electronic crimpers.
Use the chart below to determine the right cap and septa combination, based on your application.

Temperature Range | -40 - 200 °C | -40 - 90 °C |
Use for multiple injections | Yes | No |
Price | Economical | Very economical |
Resistance to coring | Excellent | None |
Recommended for storage | Yes | No |
Best for | Most common HPLC and GC analyses, not as resistant to coring as P/S/P | Chlorosilanes, more economical option for single injections |
*Agilent silicone is peroxide-cured, making it more inert and less likely to interact with samples
