Hamilton Medical 80008 syringe: the ideal solution for ultra-precise dosing in the laboratory
The Hamilton Medical 80008 syringe is part of the 1700 series, a range renowned for its gas-tight design, specially developed for applications requiring extremely low volumes but exceptional precision. This model is designed to hold a volume of 10 microlitres, making it ideal for low-volume handling in gas chromatography, sample preparation or complex chemical analysis. Unlike standard syringes, the 80008 guarantees optimal sealing thanks to its special cemented needle, minimising any risk of leakage or loss of substance.
The syringe is engineered using high-quality materials carefully selected for their chemical inertness, robustness and temperature resistance. The fluid path is made of stainless steel (SST), borosilicate glass and PTFE, allowing for extensive compatibility with a wide variety of solvents and aggressive reagents. This design prevents any unwanted interaction between the fluids being handled and the inner walls of the syringe, ensuring sample integrity.
With a maximum pressure rating of 1000 psig (68.9 bar) and a temperature range of 10°C to 50°C, this syringe can be used in demanding conditions without compromising safety or dosing accuracy. It is particularly useful in applications where control of the injected volume is critical, such as in automated systems or high repeatability manual dosing devices.
The 80008 syringe is not autoclavable, which limits certain uses in traditional sterile environments, but it can be sterilised by gas, meeting the needs of many research or diagnostic laboratories where this method is preferred.
Its inner diameter of 0.460 mm and outer diameter of 6.60 mm demonstrate a design suited to microscopic volumes. The syringe is also available with different tip styles (types 2, 3, 4, 5 or AS) and customisable needle lengths, allowing perfect adaptation to various experimental configurations or analytical equipment.
Used alone or integrated into a more complex system, the Hamilton 80008 syringe is a reliable and accurate tool. Its manufacturing quality, coupled with Hamilton's reputation in the field of laboratory instruments, makes it a first-class choice for demanding professionals.
