Precision and reliability with the Hamilton Medical Gastight 80000 syringe
The Hamilton Medical Gastight 80000 syringe belongs to the 1700 series, renowned for its excellent reliability in applications requiring the handling of microvolumes of liquids while maintaining perfect gas tightness. It is specifically designed to meet the highest requirements for precision, repeatability and durability in laboratory environments. With a capacity of 10 µL, this syringe enables controlled and uniform dispensing, which is essential for chromatographic analyses and applications in biotechnology, pharmacology and analytical chemistry.
One of the distinctive features of the 80000 syringe is its cemented needle design (code N), which ensures a robust and durable connection between the needle and the syringe body. This eliminates any risk of leakage and reinforces the integrity of the assembly, which is essential for applications under pressure or in the presence of gases. The needle tip is style 2, i.e. curved and bevelled, allowing easy access to different types of containers while ensuring smooth and precise penetration.
Manufactured from high-quality materials, the syringe features a fluid path made of stainless steel (SST), borosilicate glass and PTFE. This combination ensures excellent chemical compatibility, increased robustness and wear resistance over repeated use. However, this syringe is not autoclavable, although it can be sterilised using gas-compatible processes, making it compatible with controlled sterile procedures.
In terms of performance, the 80000 syringe can withstand pressures of up to 1000 psig (68.9 bar) and operates effectively within a temperature range of 10°C to 50°C. These characteristics make it suitable for both standard protocols and procedures with more demanding environmental conditions. The internal diameter of the barrel is 0.460 mm, with an external diameter of 6.60 mm, which contributes to the accuracy of liquid aspiration and delivery.
Thanks to its careful manufacturing and rigorous specifications, the Gastight 80000 syringe offers very low dead volume loss (0.64 µL), minimising waste of expensive reagents or valuable samples.
The Hamilton Medical Gastight 80000 syringe embodies the brand's expertise in micrometric precision, durable design and consistent performance. It is an essential instrument for demanding professionals seeking a reliable solution for handling very small volumes of liquids or gases in their analytical protocols.
