The compression fittings and adaptors are designed to connect Hamilton Removable Needle (RN) and Knurled Hub (KH) syringes to Glass Capillary tubing and PEEK tubing. The connectors can be combined in a variety of different configurations to meet most connection needs. Applications include Neuroscience Injections, Patch Clamp, Cell Transplantation, Stem Cell Research, Corrosive Chemical Dispensing, Infusion Pump Injections, and Mass Spectrometry Infusion Pumps.
The 1 mm connector is designed to attach pulled glass pipettes directly to a small hub RN connection. The RN nut compresses the conical PFA ferrule into the PEEK cup ferrule creating a seal between the syringe barrel and the glass capillary tubing. The connection requires no modifications to the glass capillary tubing.
The RN Compression Fitting 1mm consists of one large bore RN nut, 5 PFA ferrules and 5 PEEK cup ferrules.
The 1/16 inch connector is designed to attach 1/16 inch PEEK tubing directly to a small hub RN connection. Tightening the RN nut compresses the conical PFA ferrule into the PEEK cup ferrule creating a seal between the syringe barrel and the PEEK tubing. The connection requires no modifications to the PEEK tubing. The RN Compression Fitting 1/16 inch consists of one large bore RN nut, 5 PFA ferrules and 5 PEEK cup ferrules.
The Dual RN Coupler is constructed from model 1702 glass with a small hub RN termination on either end. It uses a standard glass size for compatibility with most stereotaxic instrumentation. The coupler is ideal for remotely connecting a syringe to a needle via PEEK tubing. It is also used with the Luer to RN adaptor for
connection of custom needles to a 7000 series syringe. The Dual RN Coupler consists of two large bore RN nuts, and one dual RN barrel.
The Luer to RN Adaptor consists of a Metal Luer Lock Hub and a Small Removable Needle Hub combined in a single needle. The Luer to RN Adaptor and the Dual RN Coupler can be used to connect a 7000 series syringe to any Small Hub Removable Needle or to a Pulled Glass Pipette. The Adaptor creates a rigid connection between the syringe and the needle as well as compatibility with stereotaxic instrumentation. The Luer to RN Adaptor consists of one RN to Luer Needle and a sealing ferrule for a 25 gauge 7000 series needle.
The Priming Kit provides the necessary tools to ensure that the syringe and needle connection is completely
primed. Trapped air can cause inaccurate dispenses and standard priming techniques are not sufficient when using capillary tubing. The glass capillary tubing traps a large volume of liquid that can only be overcome by
using the priming kit. The Priming Kit contains one 250 μL Syringe (p/n 81120), one 6 pack of 30 gauge needles (p/n 90030), and
one pack of septa (p/n 75826).
