What Is Syringe

Syringes can also be used for medical equipment, containers, and scientific instruments such as some chromatography methods to inject through the rubber septum. Injecting gas into a blood vessel will cause air embolism. The way to remove air from the syringe to avoid embolism is to turn the syringe upside down, tap it lightly, and squeeze out a little liquid before the injection into the bloodstream.

In some occasions where accuracy is not the primary consideration for germs, such as quantitative chemical analysis, the glass syringe is still used because of its small error and smooth plunger movement.

You can also use a syringe to inject some juice into the meat to improve the taste and texture when cooking meat, or inject it into cakes during baking. The syringe can also fill ink into the ink cartridge.

Generally use 2 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml or 20 ml syringes, occasionally 50 ml or 100 ml, and 1 ml syringes for intradermal injection.

The syringe barrel can be made of plastic or glass, and usually has a scale indicating the volume of liquid in the syringe. Glass syringes can be sterilized with an autoclave, but because the processing cost of plastic syringes is low, most modern medical syringes are made of plastic, which further reduces the risk of blood-borne diseases.
