No Tar - Rather Vape!

With the passage of time and availability of vast knowledge and information over the web which is just one click away. This easy access to information and knowledge has brought a lot of awareness among the people allowing them to extract the details of each and every product that is available on the market and is being sold despite various health risks and the threats it can cause. Since people are now quite aware of the consequences of such products, people exactly know what is right for them and what is wrong for them. Considering the examples of cigarettes. Cigarettes had been quite famous among all people for quite a long time. Cigarettes have components that are quite harmful and injurious to health, not only they can cause serious health conditions but can also cause addiction to such chemicals. This makes it difficult for a smoker to stop smoking. Thus, they continue to smoke. Later on, with the time when people started realizing the extreme damages that cigarettes cause to th...

What are the Three Different Types of Syringes?

 


A syringe is basically a medical device that is used to inject or withdraw fluid into or from the body. A medical syringe comprises a needle attached to a resonating vessel that is fitted with a sliding plunger. The sliding movement of the plunger injects fluid; skyward movement withdraws fluid. Medical syringes are made up of three main materials: glass, plastic, and stainless steel. For the designing of any experiment or for setting up the syringe pump, it is vital to choose the right syringe material type for your application.

Plastic Syringes

Plastic syringes have become rampant in recent years. They are affordable and sturdier and are typically free of any heavy metals and tungsten, and have little to no silicone. Still, plastic ones have a lower gas barrier in contrast to the glass syringes and thus, may not be ideal if you are working with vented samples and/or samples that are very sensitive to oxygen. Plastic syringes are easily available though in a variety of sizes. 

Stainless Steel Syringes

If you are employing viscous samples and high flow rates, you are likely to come across high syringe pressures. In such cases, you may need a stainless-steel syringe. Stainless steel syringes are highly durable, have fewer volume errors, and are even chemical-resistant. Yet, it may be harder for these syringes to load than glass or plastic syringes because it is hard to visually detect air bubbles in them. Stainless steel syringes are usually only used in high-pressure applications.

Glass Syringes

Glass syringes provided by the China glass syringe exporter are the most commonly used syringes used in syringe pump applications. They are easily available in a variety of sizes, even for the microliter volumes, helping experiments with extremely small injection volumes. They usually have the least volume errors (typically ~1%) and are thus perfect for high precision work. Moreover, glass syringes have a high gas barrier, which is apt for oxygen-sensitive applications.
