Before the widespread use of modern plastic syringes, healthcare workers had to solve the problem of how to deliver medicines accurately while keeping the apparatus dependable and resistant to chemical reactions.
In early medicine, many medicines were kept in glass containers, as glass was stable and would not react with most medicines. However, it was difficult to transfer just the right amount of medicine using regular glass tubes, often resulting in wasted medicine and incorrect dosage. Researchers and healthcare workers needed something that could accurately measure, withdraw, and deliver liquids repeatedly, and wouldn’t alter the drug’s purity.
So, the glass syringe was invented. This simple but revolutionary tool, for the first time, accurately measured liquid medicine with a glass barrel and plunger combined. Because glass is transparent, it let health workers see liquid medicine and because glass is smooth, it let health workers dose medicine with great accuracy.
For years, glass syringes were the best tool for use in hospitals, laboratories, and research. Even today, glass syringes are used in laboratories and medicine and research where safety and accuracy are paramount, though plastic syringes have taken over most every day uses.
At Jiangsu Huida, we make superior glass syringes from high quality borosilicate glass and sold worldwide in support of healthcare.
Manufactured from premium borosilicate glass with excellent optical clarity.

● Scratch resistant
● Long service life
Each syringe is manufactured with precise dimensional tolerances to ensure accurate liquid measurement.
Advantages:
● Smooth plunger movement
● Accurate dosage
● Excellent sealing
● Reduced measurement errors
Glass syringes are made of borosilicate glass. Because glass syringes do not leach into samples, they can hold organic solvents, acids, and other aggressive chemicals. Glass syringes do not react to the sample, hold their shape, and do not absorb the sample. Syringes made of plastic, on the other hand, do not have borosilicate glass’ chemical resistance. Depending on the solvent used, plastic syringes can hold their shape, absorb the sample, or leach into the sample. Using plastic syringes in a laboratory setting presents a danger. Because of the composition of plastic syringes, they are likely to deform, absorb, or leach into a sample.
Glass syringes are precisely manufactured to have a piston that fits snugly in the barrel of the syringe. Glass syringes are ideal for applications that need high measurement accuracy, like analytical chemistry. Glass syringes are also superior to plastic syringes in measurement accuracy. Plastic syringes are adequate to use for the transfer of liquids in a laboratory setting, but do not have the level of precision required for some applications.
Glass syringes stand up to multiple rounds of sterilization via autoclaving or dry heat without deteriorating in function or losing their transparency, graduation markings, or structural integrity. This durability, and cost-effectiveness, is especially beneficial to laboratories that perform testing regularly. Most plastic syringes, however, are single-use and must be disposed of after each use, leading to greater cost and waste.
The clear glass barrel allows the user to have greater control and understanding of liquid levels, air bubbles, and samples. Unlike cloudy plastic, glass has a lower tendency to scratch and so maintains transparency and visibility in repeated use.
While glass syringes will have a higher initial purchase cost than low-cost disposable plastic syringes, their long service life and higher performance often bring a better overall cost.
For laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutes, and industrial testing facilities requiring precision, glass syringes are the favored professional solution over traditional plastic syringes.
