Accuracy

The SGE Diamond designreduces carryover, adhesivecontamination, and sampleinteraction.

Syringes are designed tomeetthecriticalspecificationsrequired by instrumentmanufacturers.

Theneedleattachmentdesigneliminates areas where fluidcould become trapped andpotentiallycausecarryover.

A closer fit between plungertip and PTFE seal at the zeroposition,a tighter fitbetweenthe PTFE seal and the glassbarrel, and an improved fixedneedle attachment all help toreducecarryover.

Riskof sample interactionwithadhesive is reducedas there isnocontactwiththefluidpath.Thisalsoincreasesdurabilityofthesyringeasitisnotpronetosolventattack.

Diamond Headspace SyringeHigherLimitsinHeadspaceAnalysis

SGE Diamond Headspace Syringes offer outstanding reproducibility maintained during temperature cycling and highest operating temperature, saving time and improving analysis workflow.

Don’tLimitYourHeadspaceAnalysis

Some headspace syringes may perform poorly when used at high temperatures or cycled through hightemperature. Common problems experienced with headspace analyses due to poor syringe performanceinclude:syringeplungertipsfailing;leakingsyringes;needlesdetaching;additionalsampleflushingcausedbytohighsyringecarryover;poorreproducibilityofresults.

UnbeatableCleanability

DiamondMS syringes have unbeatable cleanabilitytherebyfurtherreducingcarryover.

SGE Diamond MS Syringes are engineered to be MS-ready for precious samples and improve the sensitivity of your MS results. With the lowest syringe carryover, reduced non-specific sample interaction and increased analyte recovery, it is easy to choose a Diamond MS Syringe and Ultra Smooth needle to suit your application.

ReducedNon-specificInteractionandIncreasedSampleRecovery

Anythinginthesampleflowpathcaninteractwithyoursampleandimpactresults, so Ultra Smooth needles have been designed to reduce non-specificinteractionbetweenyoursampleandtheneedle.

To further reducepotential non-specific interaction, twoneedle treatment options areavailabletoavoidsampleinteractionsduetohydrophilicityandhydrophobicity.

Theunique treatment is extremely stable, even at temperatures up to 350 °C.Unlike somecompetitor’s products, SGE Ultra Smooth needles do not have a glassy coating which wouldtypicallyfillthevalleysofametalsurface,bealkaliaffected,andcanundesirablyactlikeaphase(similartoacapillarycolumn).

TheChoiceforSensitivity

HowtochooseyourMS-readysyringeandneedleforimprovedsensitivity:

1.Chooseamanualsyringeoronespecificallydesignedforyourinstrument.

2.Selectthesyringecapacity.

3.Choosetheneedlegeometry–LCorGCinjections,tipdesignandneedledimensions.

4.ChoosewhichUltraSmoothneedlebestsuitsyourapplication.

Clean syringes were washed 6 times with neat methanol, each wash was collected. Samples were then placed in an Eksigent Tempo LC system and the loading pump (50 % methanol/0.1 % Formic acid/water) used to infuse (initial flow of 2 μL/min then reduced to 0.5 μL/min for analysis) via a nanospray III ion source into an AB Sciex QTRAP 5500. Spectra were collected for a positive EMS scan of 100-1000 amu. 1
