Filling the Syringe Barrel
Barrel Filling Techniques:
Caution: Do not completely fill syringe barrels. The optimum fill is a maximum 2/3 of the barrel
capacity and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when using the EFD blue LV Barrier piston.
For best results, we strongly recommend that you use a piston as part of your dispensing system.
The white EFD SmoothFlow piston is appropriate for most fluids and has several advantages:
• Vacuum adjustment is less sensitive.
• The piston prevents fumes from the fluid being exhausted into the work environment.
• The piston prevents fluid from flowing back into the dispenser if the syringe barrel is inadvertently
turned upside down.
• The piston makes it easy and safe to change tips without dripping. For watery solvents and
cyanoacrylates, request the blue EFD LV Barrier piston, available in 3cc, 10cc and 30/55cc sizes.
Contact EFD for assistance in selecting a suitable piston.
