Needles for Laboratory Syringes

Hamilton offers a wide selection of standard needles, custom needles, and specialty needles engineered to work perfectly with our syringes. To choose the best needle, it is important to understand your syringe termination. The most common terminations are PTFE Luer Lock, Luer Tip, or Removable Needle.

Precision Glass Syringes for Every Lab

The fluid path of a Hamilton glass syringe is chemically inert with stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and PTFE used for most syringes. N.I.S.T. traceable certification is available as an additional service for the majority of the syringes in our product line 

Operational Specification

Learn about each of the various microliter and gastight glass syringe series and the operational specifications they are capable of withstanding. Specifications include minimum/maximum temperature, pressure thresholds, standard electro-taper, and standard needle dead volume.

Definitions and Terminology

A syringe can be configured and built with a wide variety of specifications and variables, including 17 different syringe termination types, various needle options, and four categories of plunger design. It is important to understand the full range of options for each variable so that you can choose the best syringe for your application.

Instructions - Pipette Controller

The pipette controller syringe is a Hamilton Gastight® Luer Tip syringe modified with a special free-sliding, thumb-wheel plunger. The syringe is supplied with 41 mm (1-5⁄8”) of clear vinyl tubing, 3 mm ID (0.125”) x 6 mm OD (0.250”), to attach a pipette to the syringe’s luer tip. The syringe draws liquids into the pipette (liquids do not enter the syringe barrel).
