Luer Slip Connector

• A Luer Slip connection allows the syringe or device to simply slide onto the tip of another compatible component (e.g., a syringe filter).
• To ensure a snug fit, apply firm forward pressure and give the device a quarter turn during attachment.
• While this connection is generally secure for most applications, it does not lock in place and may disconnect under high pressure or vigorous handling.

Luer Lock Connector

• A Luer Lock connection features a threaded locking mechanism that securely fastens the device to the syringe.
• The “wings” or threads on the syringe filter screw into the syringe’s Luer Lock fitting, creating a fixed, leak-resistant seal.
• This design is ideal for applications involving high back pressure or where a secure, stable connection is critical for safety and performance.
