• teflon? pfte tip replaceable plunger - to give gas tight seal
• borosilicate glass - inert to gc solvents and organics
• stainless steel - inert and non-reactive
• industry standard size - consistent syringe fit
• permanent scale markings - solvents won’t wash off the markings
• white scale backing - easy-to-read improves reproducibility
