J.G. Finneran Associates designed Limited Volume Inserts with and without Bottom Springs to ensure that autosamplers extract even the smallest sample volumes every time, without damaging injection needles or breaking sample containers.
The inserts preassembled with polymer bottom springs act as shock absorbers to protect sample needles from bottoming out during sample extraction. Inserts without the bottom springs automatically centers in the vial and provides a perfect seal with the septa. The pulled point internal design permits sufficient sample withdrawal and allows chemists the ability to analyze smaller sample volumes in standard size vials.
