Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the needle for visible signs of wear, corrosion, or bending. Although stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, certain acidic or harsh samples can still cause gradual degradation over time.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: While stainless steel needles are highly durable, certain strong acids or corrosive chemicals can still damage them over time.
Proper Storage: When the needle is not in use, store it in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination or exposure to corrosive atmospheres. Always handle the needle carefully to avoid bending or damaging the tip, which could affect sample introduction precision.
