NORM-JECT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NORM-JECT from 3G Electric.
What are the key differences between NORM-JECT Luer Lock and Luer Slip syringes?
NORM-JECT Luer Lock syringes have a threaded tip that allows a needle or tubing to be screwed on securely, preventing accidental disconnection under pressure or during movement. Luer Slip syringes have a smooth, tapered tip that relies on friction for attachment, enabling quick connect and disconnect. The choice depends on the application: Luer Lock is preferred where a secure, leak-resistant connection is critical, while Luer Slip is suitable for low-pressure, rapid-change scenarios.
What materials are used in NORM-JECT syringes and what are their chemical resistance properties?
NORM-JECT syringes feature a polypropylene (PP) barrel and tip, and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plunger. PP offers good resistance to many organic solvents, acids, and bases at room temperature, though it may swell in hydrocarbons. HDPE provides low friction and resistance to moisture and most chemicals. These materials are suitable for handling aqueous solutions, alcohols, dilute acids, and some oils. They are not recommended for strong oxidizing agents or concentrated sulfuric acid.
Are NORM-JECT syringes sterile and how are they packaged?
Yes, NORM-JECT syringes are supplied sterile. Each syringe is individually packaged in a sealed pouch to maintain sterility until opened. The packaging is designed for single-use applications where contamination control is required. The sterility is achieved through gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide processing, depending on the product variant. The syringes are intended for one-time use and should not be reused.
What capacities are available for NORM-JECT syringes from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks NORM-JECT syringes in capacities of 1 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and 20 mL. Both Luer Lock and Luer Slip attachment types are available across these sizes. The syringes have clear barrel markings for volume measurement. The 1 mL and 2 mL sizes are suitable for precise low-volume dispensing, while the 20 mL size is used for larger fluid transfers.
Can NORM-JECT syringes be used with standard Luer needles and fittings?
Yes, NORM-JECT syringes are manufactured to conform to ISO 594-1 and ISO 594-2 standards for Luer fittings. This ensures compatibility with standard Luer needles, tubing connectors, and other accessories that have Luer taper interfaces. The Luer Lock syringes have a threaded collar that engages with corresponding threads on Luer Lock needles, while Luer Slip syringes fit standard slip-tip needles.
