   without and
drips I use the syringe.  Then to I have them down to 2
 microliter.  The 50 microliter one is huge for my usual work. 
2 mm^3? That's small... Yes and the sample never makes it into the barrel of the
syringe.  The
plunger is a long wire that is stepped is size.  The large part is in the
body and the small part goes the length of the needle.

  The normal injection volume for GC/Mass spec is
1 or 2 microliters.  The
usual syringe used is 10 microliter.  The plunger is the approx size of 26
or 28 gauge wire.  They are stainless and they do bend and kink easily.  I
long ago lost count of the # I have messed up.
