FAQs:
What are the advantages of the monolithic construction?
The one-piece design eliminates joints and adhesives, providing superior pressure integrity, preventing leaks, and ensuring full chemical compatibility throughout the fluid path.
Is this spray needle compatible with standard laboratory syringes?
Yes, it features a precision CNC-milled female Luer lock connector per ISO 80369-7, ensuring a secure and leak-proof fit with standard male Luer lock syringes and tubing.
Can the internal diameter and tip geometry be customized?
Absolutely. The internal lumen diameter can be customized from 0.1 mm to 2.0 mm, and the tip can be machined to various geometries like conical taper for jetting or flat bevel for spraying, with orifice sizes from 0.05 mm to 1.0 mm.
How is the chemical resistance ensured for this needle?
The 316L stainless steel material offers excellent inherent corrosion resistance, which is further enhanced by surface passivation per ASTM A967, maximizing protection against a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents.
