Description
Product Name: 1ml Insulin Syringe with Fixed Needle
Gauge: 31G (0.25mm outer diameter)
Needle Length: 8mm (5/16″)
Volume: 1.0 ml (100 Units)
Material: Medical-Grade Polypropylene / Stainless Steel
Product Overview The 1ml 31G syringe is a critical tool for the precise handling of reconstituted lyophilized peptides and research reagents. Unlike standard Luer-lock syringes, this unit features a fixed needle integrated directly into the barrel. This “Low Dead Space” engineering significantly reduces the volume of fluid left behind in the syringe tip after injection (waste volume <0.005 ml), ensuring that valuable research compounds are fully utilized.
Technical Features
-
Ultra-Fine Geometry: The 31-gauge needle is among the finest available, designed to penetrate tissue with minimal force and disruption. This is essential for reducing stress markers in live animal models during repeated dosing schedules.
-
High-Visibility Markings: The barrel is printed with bold, clear graduations (typically in Units, where 100 Units = 1ml), allowing for precise titration of doses as small as 0.01ml (1 Unit).
-
Lubrication: The needle is coated with a micro-bonded lubricant to reduce friction coefficient, facilitating smooth insertion.
-
Sterility: Each syringe is individually blister-packed and sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EtO) or Gamma Irradiation to prevent sample contamination.
Research Applications This syringe format is the industry standard for:
-
Peptide Administration: Subcutaneous delivery of GLP-1 agonists (e.g., Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) and growth hormone secretagogues.
-
Precision Dosing: Protocols requiring exact volumetric delivery where standard 3ml syringes lack the necessary graduation fineness.
-
Minimizing Waste: Handling high-cost reagents where the 50–100µL loss typical of detachable needle syringes is unacceptable.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at room temperature (15–30°C) in a dry place.
-
Shelf Life: typically 5 years from the date of manufacture (refer to individual package expiration).
-
Disposal: Must be disposed of in an approved sharps container immediately after use. Single-use only; do not re-sterilize.
