Rubber septa, also known as rubber stoppers or closures, are commonly used in laboratories as a sealing material for vials, bottles, and other containers. A septum (plural: septa) is a thin piece of rubber or elastomeric material that is designed to provide an airtight or liquid-tight seal when inserted into the opening of a container.
Rubber septa are typically made from a variety of elastomeric materials, such as natural rubber or synthetic polymers like silicone or butyl rubber.
These materials are chosen for their flexibility, chemical resistance, and ability to form a tight seal.
