New GC Autosampler Syringes Designed for Leak-Free Operation

Hamilton Company has introduced a new line of syringes for GC (gas chromatography) headspace autosamplers. The new syringes are designed to work with PAL* COMBI-xt GC headspace autosamplers and feature a unique spring-in-plunger design for leak-free operation. The spring keeps the PTFE plunger tip against the glass barrel, preventing gaps that can occur with GC temperature fluctuations.

The rugged Hamilton syringes demonstrate a long lifetime over a large range of temperatures and gradients. All Hamilton syringes meet stringent requirements for dimensional accuracy, needle length, gauge, tip and lifetime (ISO 9001:2008). The new GC headspace autosampler syringes are offered in six volume/needle gauge combinations.

"Our engineers have developed an inventive solution that improves overall GC results," explains Mark Carrier, chromatography market segment manager for Hamilton. “The fact that CTC specifies the Hamilton syringe demonstrates the superiority of our product’s design and performance.”
