What moves the price
For septum, the drivers are material, seal mechanism, tamper evidence, lining, fit diameter, seal type, sterile or nonsterile, compatibility — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier pricing for laboratory vial septa is published mostly in 100-piece or 1000-case lots, with examples such as Lab Depot’s 1000-case PTFE/silicone septa and Distribution LabSphere’s 100- and 1000-count septa listings. Price is driven primarily by compound stack-up (PTFE/silicone vs butyl/PTFE), durometer, size/fit, and whether the septum is low-bleed or low-extractables; sterile/validated documentation pushes costs higher. The most realistic routes are US lab-supply distributors, import/landed-equivalent marketplace listings, and quote-based contract manufacturing rather than public catalog pricing at very high MOQs.
