Tips on syringes care for best longevity
Cleaning
Ultrasonic Bath
- Do not completely immerse in organic solvent, as this may attack some of the material
- Wipe the plunger
- Use non-fibre shedding cloth
- Hold it by the handle
Flushing
- Use acetone or methanol
- Leave no fluid in the needle after flushing
- Dry with vacuum using a higher volume syringe or a vacuum pump
- Use cleaning wire supplied for all ILS syringes with a small inner diameter (wide selection is also available)
- N-series require regular flushing to prevent plunger from getting stuck
- Upgraded A-series is resistant to getting stuck thanks to a top end seal and better plunger movement, ensuring long lifetime
- Insert plunger ONLY when completely dry
- Do not move the plunger unnecessarily while dry
- Store the plunger and glass barrel separately and connect only when required for use
