The Correct Syringe Needle is Neccessary for
Proper Performance
 |
With proper use, including using the correct
syringe needle outer diameter (23-gauge, 0.63mm) and
needle termination (truncated cone or blunt tip), the
life of a Merlin MicroSeal can be thousands of
injections. Sharp edged or sharp pointed needles can
pierce and damage the duckbill valve. The 23-26 gauge
tapered needles also will not work properly because the
26-gauge part of the needle opens the duckbill before
the 23-gauge part can seal with the O-ring.
Improper Syringe Needles
 |
Do not use needles designed for piercing
ordinary rubber septa!
The following guides (pdf files) list a selection of MicroSeal compatible syringes for autosamplers and manual injection. It was compiled from information published by syringe manufacturers.
