Horiba ABX Teflon Syringe Seal Tips – Pentra 400 / C400 – 100 µL & 1000 µL (P/N 1228086648 / 1228086605)

What is it:

The Horiba ABX Teflon Seal Syringe Tips are genuine HORIBA PTFE (Teflon) plunger-tip seals for the ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer. They're available in two sizes to match the analyzer's two syringes — choose your size at checkout (one size per order).

Part numbers (choose your size):

• 100 µL seal — P/N 1228086648 (pairs with the 100 µL sample syringe, P/N 1228076812)
• 1000 µL seal — P/N 1228086605 (pairs with the 1000 µL reagent syringe, P/N 1228078955)

What it's used for:

The Teflon seal sits at the tip of the syringe plunger and forms the sliding, leak-tight seal that lets the syringe meter precise liquid volumes. As a high-cycle wear part, the seal gradually loses its tight fit — which shows up as volume errors, dispensing imprecision, drips, or fluidics faults. HORIBA covers replacing these under the "syringe plunger tips replacement" maintenance procedure. Swapping the seal on schedule (or at the first sign of imprecision) restores accurate metering and keeps the analyzer within spec.

Tip: you also need the Seal Replacement Tool (P/N 1228088454) to install these correctly — message us if you need one.

What's included:

• Teflon (PTFE) plunger-tip seal for the Pentra 400 / C400 (one size per order — select 100 µL or 1000 µL)
• 100 µL seal: P/N 1228086648 · 1000 µL seal: P/N 1228086605
• Genuine HORIBA service part
• Pairs with the Pentra 400 sample syringe (100 µL) or reagent syringe (1000 µL)

Compatible analyzer:

• ABX Pentra 400 (Pentra C400) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer

Order the seal size that matches the syringe you're servicing — the 100 µL seal for the sample syringe, the 1000 µL seal for the reagent syringe. The two are different parts with different P/Ns. If you're unsure which you need, send us your analyzer model and which syringe you're working on and we'll confirm. Not for use with non-HORIBA instruments.

FAQs:

What are the Teflon Seal Syringe Tips used for?

They're the PTFE plunger-tip seals for the Pentra 400 / C400 syringes. The seal lets the syringe move precise liquid volumes without leaking. As a wear part, it's replaced under HORIBA's "syringe plunger tips replacement" maintenance procedure when it loses its tight fit.

Which size do I need — 100 µL or 1000 µL?

Match the seal to the syringe you're servicing: the 100 µL seal (P/N 1228086648) is for the sample syringe (P/N 1228076812), and the 1000 µL seal (P/N 1228086605) is for the reagent syringe (P/N 1228078955). Order the size you need — one size ships per order.

Which analyzer are these compatible with?

The HORIBA ABX Pentra 400 / Pentra C400 clinical chemistry analyzer.

Do I need a special tool to replace the seal?

Yes — HORIBA's Seal Replacement Tool (P/N 1228088454) is used to install these plunger-tip seals correctly. If you don't already have one, let us know and we can help you source it.

How do I know when to replace the seal?

Common signs include volume errors, dispensing imprecision, visible drips or leaks at the syringe, and fluidics or pressure warnings. Many labs replace the seals on a preventive-maintenance schedule and keep spares of both sizes on hand.

Is this a genuine HORIBA part?

Yes. These are genuine HORIBA ABX service parts (P/N 1228086648 and 1228086605) — the same part numbers distributed through major channels.
