Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Arplex Luer Fit and Record Fit syringes, and how do I know which to order?
▼
Luer Fit syringes use a standard luer connection, compatible with the majority of luer lock and luer slip needles and accessories. Record Fit syringes use a bayonet-style record fitting, which is a traditional agricultural standard commonly found on older dosing equipment and multi-dose dispensers. Check the fitting type on your needles or dispensing equipment before ordering, as the two are not interchangeable.
Are these syringes single-use or reusable?
▼
Arplex syringes are designed for agricultural use and are built to withstand repeated use. However, as with any syringe used in a professional setting, they should be inspected before each use for signs of wear, barrel damage, or plunger deterioration, and replaced when performance is compromised. Always follow applicable hygiene and biosecurity protocols for your setting.
Can I use standard agricultural needles with these syringes?
▼
Yes, provided you match the fitting type correctly. Luer Fit models accept standard luer-compatible needles. Record Fit models require record-compatible needles. Using a mismatched fitting risks a poor seal and inaccurate dosing, so always confirm needle compatibility before use.
