Agilent 5183-0314: 50 µL GC syringe with fixed conical needle and PTFE piston
The Agilent 5183-0314 syringe is a precision instrument developed for the rigorous demands of gas chromatography (GC). Part of Agilent's high-end range, this syringe is designed for autosamplers and stands out for its robustness, ingenious design and extensive compatibility with Agilent systems.
Its nominal volume of 50 µL makes it ideal for precise low-volume injections, with a recommended range of 5 to 40 µL. This well-targeted capacity allows for efficient injection into modern GC systems while minimising sampling errors. The syringe is equipped with a fixed 23-26s gauge conical needle with a length of 42 mm. This dual-gauge format provides high mechanical strength while facilitating injection into dense septa or during split/splitless or column injection techniques.
One of the key features of this syringe is its PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) piston tip. This type of piston offers exceptional sealing, particularly in applications requiring perfect gas tightness. PTFE is known for its chemical resistance and low coefficient of friction, allowing the piston to slide easily in the glass cylinder without sticking or generating contamination. This design ensures a long service life for the syringe and reduces the risk of piston sticking, which is common with viscous or heterogeneous samples.
This syringe is fully compatible with the Agilent 7693A autosampler system as well as previous generations. As an Agilent Gold Standard product, it is perfectly aligned with the sampler's automatic injection mechanism, ensuring optimal reproducibility between injection cycles.
In addition to its performance, this syringe features specific colour coding and clear markings for quick identification on the bench, helping to increase productivity and reduce handling errors in the laboratory.
Used primarily in analytical chemistry, quality control and pharmaceutical research laboratories, the Agilent 5183-0314 syringe is a reliable asset for any GC method requiring accurate, reproducible and cross-contamination-free dosing. Its manufacture to rigorous specifications also ensures full compliance with traceability and analytical quality requirements.
