Hamilton 80600 Syringe: Microscopic precision for gas chromatography
The Hamilton 80600 syringe is a benchmark in precision analytical injection instruments, specially designed for gas chromatography applications. With a usable volume of 100 µL, it belongs to the renowned 700 microliter series, known for its reliability and robustness. It is specifically adapted to the needs of chemical, pharmaceutical or environmental analysis laboratories, where the injection of very small sample volumes requires perfect control and flawless technical design.
Designed with a cemented needle (N-termination), the 80600 syringe eliminates the risk of disconnection or leakage, ensuring a perfect seal between the needle and the barrel. This model features a 22s gauge needle with a curved and bevelled tip (style 2), specially optimised for split/splitless injections in GC systems. The tip design minimises damage to the septum while promoting smooth and accurate penetration, which is essential for preserving sample integrity.
The quality of the materials used in the manufacture of this syringe is also a major advantage. The fluid path is made of stainless steel and borosilicate glass, offering excellent chemical and thermal resistance, while ensuring minimal inertia with respect to the injected samples. Although the syringe is not autoclavable, it is compatible with gas sterilisation, allowing it to be used in aseptic environments.
The Hamilton 80600 syringe is designed to operate at pressures up to 2000 psig (137.9 bar) and in a controlled temperature range of 10 to 50°C. These features ensure safe and reliable use, even under demanding experimental conditions. It has a needle dead volume of only 1.13 µL, which limits sample loss and improves the reproducibility of results.
Used individually, this syringe is particularly suitable for septum GC injectors, for instantaneous vaporisation of the sample at the top of the column. It integrates perfectly into the most rigorous analytical protocols and contributes to the reliability of results in both qualitative and quantitative analyses.
The Hamilton 80600 syringe is a high-precision instrument designed for professionals who demand consistent performance, superior build quality and optimal compatibility with modern chromatography systems. It is a wise choice for any laboratory seeking to maximise the quality and accuracy of its GC injections.
