SOL-M Hypodermic Needles 25Gx1''

What is the SOL-M Hypodermic Needle (25 Gauge, 1 Inch)?

This is a stainless steel needle for lab work. It is a tool, not a compound.

25G is the gauge, which is the number system for needle thickness. The 1 inch figure is the length of the needle.

The tip has a triple bevel. A bevel is the slanted edge cut into the tip. This one is ground on three sides and is lubricated.

What it is used for

• Drawing and injecting liquid. It is used to draw up or inject liquid during lab work.
• Fitting standard syringes. The hub fits standard luer lock and luer slip tips.
• Telling the gauge apart. The hub is colour coded, so the gauge is easy to spot.
• Seeing liquid flow back. The hub is see-through, so flashback can be checked.

What you get

One 25 gauge needle, 1 inch long. It has a stainless steel shaft and a triple-bevel tip. The hub is clear and colour coded. The colour code follows the ISO-6009 standard, which meets OSHA rules.

How to store it

Keep needles sealed in their packaging until use. Store them in a clean, dry place.
