Protecting everyone in the lab
Open solvent bottles can lead to solvent evaporation and the escape of harmful vapours into your working area. Even bottles with a paper towel or foil over the opening will still cause a problem. Over time,these chemicals can harm the health of your lab employees and visitors.
Chromatography Direct TrapIT II Solvent Safety Caps help prevent solvents from leaching into the air. These safety caps fit directly onto your standard solvent bottles, freeing the air from harmful vapours.
-
Available with either 2, 3 or 4 ports (including Air Inlet Valve)
-
Direct fit onto GL45 bottles
-
Free-spinning collar for quick connection and disconnection
-
Clear time indicator for filter change
Reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals
You may be exposed to many compounds in your HPLC laboratory, including Acetonitrile and methanol. TrapIT II Solvent Safety Caps use a special Air Inlet Valve to prevent solvents from leaching into your lab, protecting you and your coworkers while allowing the required ventilation when the solvent is being drawn.
Reproducibility of your chromatographic analysis
Mobile phase changes due to evaporation can affect your chromatographic performance. Preventing solvents from leaching into the air will help maintain mobile phase consistency over time.
Prevent waste and save money
Replacing your mobile phase due to an evaporative change will drive up your costs. However, you can avoid waste by preventing solvents from leaching into the air with a TrapIT II Solvent Safety Cap.
More reliable HPLC/UHPLC
Placing a TrapIT IISolvent Safety Cap on your solvent bottle will stop dust and other contaminants from affecting your results.Easy to use

Notes
- Always plug unused ports with a proper plug to prevent solvent evaporation or contamination.
- One of the ports on the TrapIT II Solvent Safety Cap must be fitted with an Air Inlet Valve.
- The correct fitting must be selected for the solvent line to ensure a secure connection.
- Replace the Air Inlet Valve as directed.
