Hamilton 1000 Series Gastight Syringes

Mid-volume PTFE-tipped syringes for precise liquid and gas dispensing in laboratory and chromatography workflows

Hamilton 1000 Series Gastight Syringes

Hamilton 1000 Series Gastight syringes are designed for precise, leak-free dispensing of liquids and gases across analytical, chromatography, and general laboratory workflows. This mid-volume Gastight syringe family is commonly used when applications require larger transfer volumes than low-volume syringe platforms while still maintaining tight sealing performance and dependable accuracy. Chrom Tech supplies Hamilton syringes as an authorized distributor, helping laboratories identify the correct 1000 Series configuration for sample handling, standards preparation, instrument integration, and controlled liquid or gas transfer.

The 1000 Series uses a PTFE plunger tip and precision-machined glass barrel to support consistent dispensing and help prevent evaporation, leakage, and sample loss. This design makes the series especially useful for volatile, viscous, and heterogeneous samples, as well as for workflows where repeatability and sample integrity are important. The Hamilton 1000 Series covers mid-volume ranges from 1 mL to 100 mL and is available in multiple syringe styles, terminations, plunger styles, and needle options to support a wide variety of manual and instrument-based applications.

Why Hamilton 1000 Series Gastight Syringes Are Used

In many laboratories, a syringe must do more than simply transfer volume. It must protect sample integrity, deliver repeatable results, and fit the physical requirements of the method or instrument. The Hamilton 1000 Series is widely used because it combines mid-volume capacity with Gastight sealing performance, allowing users to handle both liquids and gases with greater control. The PTFE plunger tip creates a tight seal against the barrel wall, helping reduce evaporation and sample loss while supporting accurate aspiration and dispensing across larger volume ranges.

This makes the 1000 Series a strong choice for chromatography support tasks, analytical chemistry, routine lab preparation, and instrument-connected liquid handling. Depending on the model, these syringes may be used in manual dispensing workflows or in compatible instrument setups such as diluters, syringe pumps, and other laboratory systems that require reliable mid-volume transfer performance.

Mid-Volume Gastight Performance

The 1000 Series is the Hamilton Gastight platform for mid-volume dispensing, filling the gap between smaller microliter-scale syringes and larger bulk-transfer options. With capacities from 1 mL to 100 mL, the series is well suited for laboratories that need more volume while still maintaining controlled delivery and leak-free operation. Precision-machined glass barrels and clearly marked graduations help support exact volume measurement, while the Gastight sealing design helps maintain consistency during repeated use.

For labs working with gases, volatile liquids, or samples that may be difficult to handle consistently, the ability to maintain a tighter seal can make a meaningful difference in repeatability. This is one reason the 1000 Series remains widely used in laboratory and scientific workflows where sample protection and controlled dispensing are priorities.

Flexible Configurations for Manual and Instrument Use

The Hamilton 1000 Series is available in a broad range of configurations to match different laboratory setups. Depending on the specific syringe, users can select among multiple terminations, needle gauges, needle point styles, plunger styles, and syringe variations. This flexibility allows the same syringe family to support a range of applications, from general manual dispensing to use with instruments that require specific connection styles or controlled plunger movement.

Because laboratories often standardize around connection type, instrument compatibility, and sample characteristics, having a configurable mid-volume Gastight platform simplifies syringe selection. Whether the goal is secure luer-based connectivity, a cemented needle format, or an instrument-oriented syringe design with features such as an adjustable stop collar, the 1000 Series provides options that support precise and reliable laboratory operation.

Key Definitions ▸
Gastight Syringe
A syringe designed for leak-free dispensing of liquids or gases using a polymer plunger tip that seals tightly against the barrel wall.
PTFE Plunger Tip
A precision polymer plunger tip that helps create a tight seal, reduce sample loss, and support consistent dispensing across liquid and gas applications.
1000 Series
A mid-volume Gastight syringe platform intended for precise dispensing of liquids and gases in analytical, chromatography, and general laboratory workflows.
Mid-Volume Syringe
A syringe designed for applications that require larger transfer volumes than microliter-scale syringes while still maintaining controlled, accurate dispensing.
Volume Range
The Hamilton 1000 Series covers mid-volume capacities from 1 mL to 100 mL, depending on the exact syringe model and configuration.
Termination
Termination refers to the outlet style of the syringe, such as cemented needle, removable needle, luer tip, luer lock, or other connection formats used to match the application.
Instrument Syringe
An instrument syringe is configured for use with compatible laboratory systems such as diluters, dispensers, pumps, or other controlled liquid-handling devices.
Volatile Sample
A sample prone to evaporation or loss, where a tight syringe seal helps maintain sample integrity during aspiration, holding, and transfer.
Viscous or Heterogeneous Sample
A sample with higher resistance to flow or non-uniform composition that benefits from controlled plunger movement and reliable sealing during dispensing.
Leak-Free Dispensing
A syringe performance characteristic that helps prevent evaporation, gas loss, or liquid leakage during sample transfer, preparation, or injection.
