Made of plastic, these syringes are shatter resistant and suitable for use with a variety of liquids. However, they’re not as scratch resistant as glass or stainless steel syringes and less precise than glass ones.

Syringes with a luer slip connection connect to needles with a luer lock connection simply by sliding the needle onto the fitting—it will be held in place by friction rather than a locking mechanism.

Autoclavable syringes can be sterilized for reuse. Repeated sterilization may lead to discoloration over time.

A turn of the threaded plunger dispenses extremely small quantities—as small as a speck of dust. The fine threads on these syringes inch the plunger forward with every turn for a controlled, precise flow. You won’t accidentally push too much out with these syringes.

A glass barrel adds to their precision. It’s made to a tighter tolerance than a plastic barrel, so the plunger seals against the barrel and wipes it clean as it moves, dispensing every last drop. The glass barrel is also durable and resistant to chemicals, so it’s unlikely to wear or warp from your sample for a long, reliable life. Thanks to their precision, these syringes are often used for gas chromatography.

Attach a needle with a luer slip connection. Slide a needle onto the fitting and friction will hold it in place.

Before autoclaving these syringes, disassemble them. Keep in mind that autoclaving can reduce their lifespan, so chemical sterilization is preferred.

Made to a tighter tolerance than plastic syringes, these glass syringes are better at dispensing small, precise samples with little left over. They’re also durable and resistant to chemicals, so they’re unlikely to wear or warp from your samples, so they'll have a long, reliable life. Their precision makes them great for gas chromatography.

For quick and easy needle connections, choose between luer lock and luer slip syringes. Syringes with a luer slip connection use friction to hold a luer lock needle in place. Since they don’t have a locking mechanism like luer lock syringes, their connection isn’t as strong.

Syringes without a piston resist wear and are nearly frictionless to operate. Syringes with a piston are ideal for use with gases because the piston creates a leak-free, gastight seal against the barrel. They’re also great for liquids that don’t fully mix—the piston’s seal wipes off any deposits from liquids. With no deposits, the plunger won’t get stuck while dispensing. The piston’s seal is also tight enough that the plunger won’t retract on its own, so you can dispense from these syringes in a slow, controlled manner.

Autoclavable syringes must be disassembled before autoclaving. Keep in mind that repeated autoclaving can reduce their lifespan, so chemical sterilization is preferred.
