When used in combination with appropriate solvents that match the sample type, these wires offer a reliable method for maintaining flow and preventing damage.
0.307 mm OD, Cleaning Wires for 22, 23, and Larger Gauge Needles, PN: 18304 Details
The Hamilton Cleaning Wires (PN: 18304) are manual needle maintenance tools crafted from tungsten wire with a 0.306 mm O.D., ideal for clearing blockages in 22, 23, and larger gauge needles. Used correctly with a solvent that solubilizes the sample, they help remove deposits before they harden and impair needle function. By preventing clogs and reducing sample carryover, these wires are a key component in any routine cleaning protocol. Recommended for labs working with biological or particulate-rich samples.
