Hi Thomas, I have been doing LCP for a while and I am using the teflon ferrules that come with the 250 uL RN syringes instead. So on one side you would have two teflon ferrules and the other side you would have the ferrule that is attached to the needle and another plastic ferrule. I have also had luck using a 100 uL teflon ferrule (you have to hollow it out a bit) for this purpose. We have a machine shop here that can do the ferrule removal. I didn't have much luck doing this on my own.
Hope that helps, Jarrod Mousa Graduate Research Assistant University of Florida -Jarrod Mousa On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 2:09 PM, Thomas Cleveland < [email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm trying to put together some homemade syringe couplers following > the published instructions from the Caffrey group.
