KEY FEATURES:
FMJ-250 High-Pressure Syringe
Required for use with
MicroSprayer® Aerosolizer - Model IA-1C
§ The Penn-Century FMJ-250 High-Pressure Syringe is air-free and hand-operated.
§ When used with our patented MicroSprayer® Aerosolizer - Model IA-1C, it can administer
precise doses of aerosol for intratracheal, intranasal or other in vivo or in vitro
applications.
§ The FMJ-250 High-Pressure Syringe is made of stainless steel outer layer with a
borosilicate glass liner, a PCTFE seal and other chemically resistant components, and
designed to be sterilized and re-used.
§ The syringe is designed for precise administration of aerosol doses from 25 to 250
microliters. It has a maximum capacity of 250 microliters.
§ The syringe is opaque and has no external measurement marks. A set of dose volume
“spacers” is provided with each to device to permit accurate measurements of doses of either 25
or 50 microliters, or combinations of those amounts.
§ Each user receives a set of five 25-microliter spacers and five 50-microliter spacers.
§ These volume spacers are attached to the plunger of the syringe, pushed tightly
together and carefully removed one by one. The gap or space that remains defines one dose of
that particular volume. In this way, multiple doses can be administered with one full syringe.
§ The FMJ-250 High-Pressure Syringe can be cleaned with hot water or any organic
solvent, autoclave or ultrasonic cleaner, and most disinfectants. (Avoid use of bleach.) It is
meant to be sterilized and re-used.
§ The screw thread of the FMJ-250 High-Pressure Syringe is not a luer fitting. However,
standard dosing needles or hypodermic needles can be attached to it by means of a Luer Lock
Adapter provided - for purposes of filling the syringe, if desired. The syringe should not be filled
through the MicroSprayer® Aerosolizer.
