The BFP Syringes are specifically designed for the MICROLAB 600. They are
GASTIGHT syringes with a unique plunger tip. The plunger tip extends through
the top of the syringe and slightly into the valve. These syringes are designed to
reduce dead volume, improve priming, and limit sample carry-over.
