There are two basic types of microinjection systems. The first is called a constant flow system and the second is called a pulsed flow system.In a constant flow system, which is relatively simple and inexpensive though clumsy and outdated, a constant flow of a sample is delivered from a micropipette and the amount of the sample which is injected is determined by how long the needle remains in ...
A syrette is a single-use device for injecting liquid through a needle. It is similar to a syringe except that it has a sealed squeeze tube instead of a rigid tube and piston. It was developed by the pharmaceutical manufacturer E.R. Squibb & Sons (eventually merged into the current day Bristol-Myers Squibb) just prior to World War II (WWII). [1]
A syringe with a male luer lock fitting, and a needle with female luer lock fitting (purple) which screws into it. The Luer taper is a standardized system of small-scale fluid fittings used for making leak-free connections between a male-taper fitting and its mating female part on medical and laboratory instruments, including hypodermic syringe tips and needles or stopcocks and needles.
A dose-sparing syringe and needle being used to draw up a COVID-19 vaccine. A dose-sparing syringe is one which minimises the amount of liquid remaining in the barrel after the plunger has been depressed. These syringes feature a combined needle and syringe, and a protrusion on the face of the plunger to expel liquid from the needle hub.
A syringe being prepared for injection of medication. An injection (often and usually referred to as a "shot" in US English, a "jab" in UK English, or a "jag" in Scottish English and Scots) is the act of administering a liquid, especially a drug, into a person's body using a needle (usually a hypodermic needle) and a syringe.

When the needle enters the vein, venous blood pressure generally forces a small amount of blood into the set's transparent tubing providing a visual sign, called the "flash" or "flashback", that lets the practitioner know that the needle is actually inside of a vein. The butterfly offers advantages over a simple straight needle. The butterfly's ...
Hypodermic needles are normally made from a stainless-steel or Niobium tube [17] through a process known as tube drawing where the tube is drawn through progressively smaller dies to make the needle. The end of the needle is bevelled to create a sharp pointed tip, letting the needle easily penetrate the skin. [18] A hypodermic needle tip under ...
accelerate the syringe forward, puncturing the injection site; actuate the piston of the syringe, injecting the drug; deploy a shield to cover the needle; Some injectors are triggered by simply pushing the nose ring against the injection site. In these designs, the protective cap is the primary safety.
