Are EFD syringe barrels compatible with other manufacturers pistons?
EFD’s pistons are designed specifically for EFD syringe barrels. We have spent decades perfecting our process and establishing a robust supply chain to ensure quality products with consistent dimensions.
No industry standards exist to codify syringe barrel pistons and syringe barrels in terms of diameters, etc. As a result, no reliable interoperability exists. Although syringe barrels and syringe barrel pistons from other manufacturers might appear compatible with those from EFD, we would not recommend using them due to limitations in consistency, and compatibility along the full length of the barrel.
