FAQs:
What are the primary applications for this puncture needle?
This needle is designed for precision fluid handling in laboratory and industrial settings, including gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for sample injection, micro-syringe applications, precision fluid dispensing of adhesives or reagents, laboratory sample preparation, and educational demonstrations.
How is the scale on the needle created and how accurate is it?
The scale is created using high-precision laser etching directly onto the sandblasted surface, providing permanent, high-contrast graduation marks in units like µL or mm. The scale accuracy is approximately ±2-5% of the indicated volume, though for critical applications, calibration against delivered volume is recommended.
What materials and treatments ensure the needle's durability and compatibility?
The needle is made from 304 stainless steel, offering good chemical resistance and mechanical strength. It undergoes a sandblasting process for a uniform matte finish and a chemical passivation treatment per ASTM A967 to enhance corrosion resistance. It is compatible with a wide range of aqueous solutions, solvents, oils, and mild chemicals.
