Syringes have a wide range of applications in a laboratory setting due to their ability to accurately measure and dispense liquids. Common lab uses include transferring precise volumes of liquid samples from one container to another for dilution, mixing, reagent preparation, and sample extraction. You may be using them for analytical techniques, like chromatography (such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography), spectrophotometry, and titration. Syringes are often used for precise dosing and delivery of reagents during chemical reactions and synthesis processes, or in life science research for aspirating media, adding growth factors or nutrients, and transferring cells. In medical and veterinary research, syringes are used for the injection or infusion of drugs, vaccines, or contrast agents into animal models or cell cultures. Researchers can use lab syringes to collect liquid samples, particularly in environmental monitoring, water quality analysis, or biological...more
