Mininert valves are leak-tight closures for vials and other containers. They are available in both crimp and screw thread versions. Only PTFE and glass are in contact with the contents of the container. They are the ideal closure for the following applications:

• calibration standards
• air- or moisture-sensitive fluids
• derivatizating reagents
• volatile chemicals
