Glass Syringe

What is Glass Syringe?

A glass syringe is a type of syringe with a barrel and plunger made of glass. It is commonly used in scientific laboratories for precision measurements and applications such as injecting drugs, extracting samples, and administering medications. Glass syringes are preferred over plastic ones because they are more resistant to chemicals, high temperatures, and sterilization, and they offer better accuracy and control over the quantity and flow of the substance being dispensed. They are also more environmentally friendly because they can be recycled or reused multiple times.

Types of Glass Syringe

Luer Lock Glass Syringe

This type of glass syringe has a threaded cone-shaped tip that is compatible with a wide variety of needles. The luer lock mechanism ensures that the needle remains securely attached to the syringe during use.

Luer Slip Glass Syringe

Unlike luer lock syringes, luer slip syringes simply slide onto the needle without a locking mechanism. They are typically cheaper and used for applications in which a secure needle attachment is not necessary.

Prefilled Glass Syringe

These syringes are pre-filled with medications or other substances. They are commonly used by healthcare professionals to administer vaccines, insulin, and other injectables.

Gas-Tight Glass Syringe

Gas-tight syringes are designed to prevent gas or liquid from leaking out of the syringe during use. They are commonly used in gas chromatography and other laboratory applications.

HPLC Glass Syringe

HPLC syringes are specifically designed for use with high-performance liquid chromatography systems. They are designed to prevent sample contamination and ensure accurate volume measurement.

Process of Glass Syringe

Raw Materials: The primary raw material used in making glass syringes is borosilicate glass. It is a type of glass with high thermal shock resistance and chemical durability, making it a suitable material for making syringes. Other materials required for the process include colorants, stabilizers, and lubricants.

Glass Tubing Preparation: The glass tubing is prepared by cutting it into shorter lengths. These lengths are cleaned and sorted based on their diameter. A laser-based cutting tool is used to cut the glass tubing, which ensures the accuracy and precision of the cuts.

Glass Molding/Blowing: The glass tubing is then molded or blown into the required shape, which is a syringe body. This process is achieved using a glass blowing/molding machine, where the glass tubing is heated to the required temperature and then blown or molded into the desired shape using compressed air.

Decoration/Printing: After molding, the syringe bodies are decorated or printed as required by the customer. This process involves using a printing machine to print information such as graduations, volume markings, and brand logos onto the syringe body.

Assembly: Once the syringe bodies are decorated or printed, the plunger is assembled into the syringe body. The plunger is made up of a rubber stopper and a piston. The rubber stopper helps to provide an airtight seal, while the piston moves back and forth within the syringe body to draw and expel fluids.

Quality Control: To ensure the quality of the glass syringe, it goes through various quality control checks. These include checks on the glass tubing, molding/breaking process, printing and decoration process, and assembly process. The syringes are also checked for their functionality and sterility.

Packaging: Finally, the glass syringes are packaged, be it in tubs, bags, or individual boxes, based on the customer's requirements. The packaging is done carefully, as glass syringes are fragile and can break easily if not handled with care.

The components of a glass syringe

Barrel

This is the main body of the syringe made of glass that holds the medication to be injected.

Plunger

This is a movable component that helps in pushing the medication out of the barrel.

Seal

It is a rubber or silicone ring that creates a tight seal between the barrel and plunger.

Needle

This is a small, thin metal tube that is attached to the barrel and used to administer the medication.

Hub

This is a plastic or metal base that connects the needle to the syringe barrel.

Luer Lock

It is a threaded collar that connects the needle to the hub and ensures that it is securely attached to the syringe barrel.

Graduation marks

These are markings on the syringe barrel that show the volume of medication in milliliters (ml) or cubic centimeters (cc) that has been drawn into or expelled from the syringe.

Applications for Glass Syringes

One of the most popular applications for glass syringes is liquid dispensing. They are often used to dispense small amounts of liquid, such as medication or oil. This is because glass syringes are less likely to leak than other types of syringes. They are also easier to clean than plastic syringes.

Another common application is for crafting projects. They can be used to dispense small amounts of glue or paint. Since they come with a small blunt tip needle, they are the perfect size for filling small molds or hard-to-reach crevices.

Glass syringes can also be used in the veterinary field. They can be used to administer medication to animals or to take samples of blood or other fluids. The glass is less likely to cause reactions in animals than plastic syringes, so they are typically preferred by veterinarians. The blunt tip needle is also helpful in precisely administering oral and topical medications.

Glass syringes are most commonly used in laboratories. They can be used to dispense small amounts of chemicals or other substances. Glass syringes are also great for taking small samples of substances. The precision of the glass syringes makes them perfect for use in laboratories.

There are many benefits to using glass syringes. They are less likely to leak, easier to clean, and can be used for a variety of different applications. If you are looking for a versatile tool that can be used for many different purposes, glass syringes are a great option.

Glass Syringes Care Instructions

01.When dosing fluids with higher or lower Viscosity, easily vaporisable or gases

Gas tight syringes with a seal prevent the solvent from evaporating, however the fluid mustn't be ejected quickly (forcefully) as this damages the seal on the plunger because it rubs against the glass barrel. Depending on the task at hand, we offer syringes with and without a seal.

02.Remember to use a correct syringe for the volume you want to dose

ILS syringes are precisely manufactured. To avoid imprecision when dosing manually do not dose volumes smaller than 10% of the total capacity. For example: no less than 10µl with a 100µl syringe.

03.When Piercing the septa e.g. during GC

To use a needle with 17 degree bevel for example, our type "A", where the forces required for penetration are minimal. Please check the tip for damage, otherwise it can damage the septa and contaminate the sample with particles and/or clog the needle itself.
For special cases and for use with Headspace we offer needles type "D" tip, which has a closed tip (dome) and a hole on the side.

04.If you use an autosampler

You can use our bevel "C", which we developed specifically for GC Autosamplers. Thanks to the bevel "C" the needle is protected from bending if the needle hits the bottom of the vial, which also prevents damage to the septa.

05.If you want to perform a Zero-dead-volume dosage

Our T-Series (plunger in needle) leaves no fluid in the needle after ejection since the plunger ends at the very tip of the needle. The modular design of the T-series allows quick and easy cleaning, replacement of any damaged parts and can even be put together and repaired on the spot by you without any need for qualified technicians or costly shipping back and forth.

06.Make sure to choose the correct needle gauge

Different levels of viscosity require different needles with specific inner diameter. We offer individual advice in that matter, however, a manual is also available in our catalogue and on our website.

06.You can prevent problems with needles

By regular flushing, however there mustn't be any fluid left in the needle after flushing. You can dry it with vacuum by pulling the air through for example with a higher volume syringe or with a vacuum pump. ILS syringes with a small inner diameter of the needle are shipped with a cleaning wire. In addition, a selection of cleaning wires for different diameters is available.

06.If you have problems with carry-over

Perform cleaning procedures often. If some substance remains in the needle you should use our special coated needles.

The Considerations for Buying Glass Syringe

Size: Consider the size of the syringe, which can range from 1 mL to 100 mL or more, depending on the intended use.

Material: Look for glass syringes made of high-quality borosilicate glass, which is durable and resistant to thermal shock.

Tip: Choose a syringe with the appropriate tip for the intended use, such as a Luer or Luer-Lock tip.

Sterility: If the syringe is intended for medical use, ensure that it is sterile and packaged in a way that maintains its sterility.

Graduations: Look for syringes with clear and accurate markings for accurate measurement and dosing.

Compatibility: Consider compatibility with other equipment and substances, such as needles and medications.

Manufacturer: Look for syringes made by reputable manufacturers with a track record of quality and safety.
