Agilent 5181-3354 syringe: a reliable and accurate solution for gas chromatography
The Agilent 5181-3354 syringe is specifically designed to meet the high demands of laboratories performing gas chromatography (GC). This 10 µL model is part of Agilent's "Gold Standard" range of consumables, a guarantee of quality, robustness and consistent analytical performance. Thanks to its optimised design and carefully selected components, it is the preferred choice for automated injections via Agilent ALS (Automatic Liquid Sampler) systems.
One of the main advantages of the 5181-3354 syringe is its ability to deliver reproducible and accurate injections in a range from 1 to 8 µL. This makes it ideal for quantitative analyses where injection accuracy is essential. The fixed 23-26s gauge needle is 42 mm long and has a conical tip, facilitating penetration into septa without damaging them and minimising sample loss. This configuration also ensures excellent alignment with GC injector ports, reducing positioning errors and dead volume effects.
Another key feature of this syringe is its piston with a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tip. This inert, solvent-resistant material ensures a perfect seal, which is essential in GC applications to prevent leakage or cross-contamination. The smooth movement of the piston also contributes to consistent aspiration and injection, even for viscous or volatile samples. In case of wear, the piston can be replaced without changing the entire syringe, thanks to the 5181-3365 replacement model.
Designed to integrate seamlessly into automated analysis environments, the 5181-3354 syringe is compatible with Agilent ALS systems, ensuring seamless integration with automatic injectors. This compatibility reduces technical adjustments, minimises the risk of errors and speeds up the analytical workflow. The syringe is also optimised to minimise sample drag and contamination, which are critical factors in high-throughput analysis sequences.
Reliable, robust and featuring a proven design, the Agilent 5181-3354 syringe is a strategic choice for laboratories that demand precision, performance and analytical reproducibility. It offers excellent value for money and durability, helping to reduce consumable costs in intensive analytical chains.
This syringe undergoes rigorous quality control at every stage of manufacture, ensuring full compliance with industry standards and complete compatibility with Agilent analytical equipment.
