Agilent 5183-2042 syringe for GC autosamplers – precision performance with every injection
The Agilent 5183-2042 syringe has been specially designed to meet the rigorous requirements of gas chromatography (GC) laboratories using Agilent automatic samplers. This Gold Standard syringe features a high-quality design incorporating components selected for their durability, precision and optimal compatibility with automated injection systems.
With a capacity of 100 µL, the 5183-2042 syringe is particularly recommended for injection volumes between 10 and 80 µL, making it an ideal tool for many analytical applications. Its precision is ensured by a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) piston tip, a material known for its chemical resistance and low coefficient of friction. This type of tip creates a tight seal with the glass cylinder, significantly reducing the risk of leakage, cross-contamination or residual sample carryover.
The permanently fixed conical needle has a tapered dual gauge configuration ranging from 23s to 26s. This unique design combines the robustness of a 23 gauge needle with the fineness of a 26s gauge, allowing for smooth and precise penetration of the septa while ensuring low pressure loss during injection. The 42 mm length is optimised for Agilent systems, including the 7693A ALS, with which it is fully compatible. This type of needle also ensures extensive compatibility with split/splitless and column injections, making the tool particularly versatile.
Part of Agilent's "Blue Line" range, the 5183-2042 syringe complies with the brand's strict manufacturing tolerances.
Laboratories can rely on this syringe for remarkable repeatability, excellent piston durability, significantly reduced septum coring (perforation of the membrane) and perfect alignment with the movement of the injection arm. Its use also reduces operator variability and optimises analytical performance.
The Agilent 5183-2042 syringe is the obvious choice for professionals looking for a reliable, accurate and high-performance device for their automated injection operations.
