Several months ago I spoke with a Mr. Brown from Cadence Scientific in context to problems I was experiencing with needles produced by this company.\u00a0 The basic symptom was leakage at the junction where the needle stem connects with its hub and this seemed to be exacerbated depending on the method used to bend the needle.\u00a0 This leakage did not occur in older lots of needles which had the Popper and Sons label on the box that they come in.\u00a0 Mr. Brown told me that these needles are formed by a press on manufacturing process and the only way to have a completely leak free needle was to use needles that had their stems welded to the hub.\u00a0 As for the leak free performance of older lots of needles I was told that possibly machinery had worn to the point that construction of newer lots were not of the same quality as those made some years back.\u00a0 Below I include\u00a0two photographs of a catastrophic failure that occurred on a lot purchased from Cadence Scientific this year by a friend of mine.\u00a0 In this instance the needle was never bent; however, the stem of the needle actually pulled free from its hub once withdrawn from a GC septum.\u00a0 The needle had only seen very light use prior to its failure.\u00a0 The bottom line to the reader is to proceed with extreme caution when using needles from this company.<\/strong><\/p>\n
