Temperature fluctuations in GC autosamplers can compromise the seal between 9mm PP caps, PTFE septa, and glass vials through thermal expansion mismatch, thread creep, PTFE cold flow, and cryogenic embrittlement. This article examines the material science behind temperature-dependent seal failure and provides practical strategies for maintaining closure integrity across the full thermal range.
