Oil-based products—especially high-viscosity concentrates—present packaging challenges that standard containers and basic plastic syringes often fail to address. Common constraints include viscosity-driven flow issues, oxygen/light sensitivity, and precision dosing requirements.
Borosilicate glass syringes are widely used in regulated packaging ecosystems because borosilicate/Type I-style glass is valued for chemical durability and heat tolerance, and glass is relatively impermeable to gases compared with many plastics.
Who We Are & What We Manufacture
Noterd PFS, short for Noterd Prefillable Syringe, is the dedicated borosilicate glass syringe brand under Noterd Tech. Leveraging Noterd Tech’s GMP‑certified manufacturing facilities, Noterd PFS delivers safe, compliant, and premium‑grade glass syringe solutions.
Designed for cannabis extracts and high‑value oil applications, Noterd PFS combines precision engineering with reliable quality to help brands elevate product performance and market appeal.
We focus on:
- Empty borosilicate glass syringes for oil-based products
- Syringe-based components and individual packaging formats
- OEM customization for brands and wholesalers
We typically serve extracts and viscous oil buyers who require repeatable dosing, controlled flow, and scalable supply.
Why Borosilicate Glass Syringes Are Used for Oil Packaging
Chemical durability and formulation compatibility
Borosilicate glass is valued for chemical resistance and hydrolytic durability, which is why it’s frequently used for sensitive pharma packaging. For certain extracts, producers prefer borosilicate glass syringes to preserve the product’s purity and natural flavor.
Gas Barrier Performance & Oxidation Control
Oxidation and degradant formation are documented issues for cannabinoids. Borosilicate glass is relatively impermeable to gases, which helps maintain the barrier’s stability. The syringe closure system creates an airtight space to prevent oxygen ingress.
Heat tolerance supports warm filling workflows
Viscous oils frequently require controlled warming to improve flow during transfer and filling. Published data exists for cannabis oils/extracts showing that viscosity varies with temperature across processing-relevant ranges.
Borosilicate Glass Syringe Product Range for Oil Packaging
Choose the size, graduation clarity, interface type, and packaging format based on the filling process, how the product will be used, and your overall market positioning. For cannabis extracts, the choice of glass syringes may also be influenced by local laws and regulations.
Capacity Options (0.5 ml – 10 ml)
Noterd PFS offers a complete range of glass syringes from 0.5 ml to 10 ml, along with optional blunt dispensing tips (10G–16G). The 1 ml luer lock glass syringe remains the most popular choice in the market, driven largely by North American regulations on THC content. As medical marijuana applications continue to expand, demand for 3 ml syringes is also steadily increasing.
Volume of borosilicate glass syringe sizes:
- 0.5 mL
- 1 ml
- 2.25 mL
- 3 mL
- 5 mL
- 10 ml
Metal Plunger Systems for High-Viscosity Oils
For thick or highly viscous oils, a metal plunger delivers a stronger and more consistent force than a plastic plunger, allowing for more accurate dispensing—an essential requirement for medical‑grade concentrates.
Glass syringes with metal plungers are also known as air‑release glass syringes. The plunger contains a small valve that releases trapped air during filling, helping prevent bubble formation and maintaining product purity. It can also be electroplated in different colors to enhance brand presentation.
High-contrast graduation for dark extracts
Glass syringes can be produced with or without graduation markings. Standard markings are typically black, but for dark-colored extracts such as FECO or RSO, black graduations can be difficult to read. The glass syringes with white measurements developed by Noterd PFS solve this problem perfectly and are especially user‑friendly for older consumers.
Our customization service also offers additional graduation colors to meet different branding needs.
Luer Lock vs Luer Slip: Selecting the Right Interface
Choosing the right luer system depends on the filling equipment, user habits, and the characteristics of the oil‑based formulation. With over 10 years of industry experience, Noterd PFS helps customers identify the right configuration and provides reliable, application‑specific syringe solutions.
Luer lock glass syringes
- More secure mechanical connection
- Preferred when a higher dispensing force is expected (common with viscous oils)
- Commonly paired with blunt tips/adapters for cartridge filling
Luer slip glass syringes
- Faster push-fit workflow
- Suitable for lower-force dispensing scenarios and some consumer refill routines
Sterile Nest Packaging & Automated Filling Compatibility
As a type of prefillable syringe, borosilicate glass syringes fully comply with pharmaceutical packaging standards. The nest-and-tub packaging format protects the glass body from breakage during transportation and ensures compatibility with internationally used filling machines.
Given the rigorous development standards of medical cannabis products, Noterd PFS has become a preferred choice for packaging medical-grade extracts. It also meets the requirements of aseptic filling in cleanroom environments. We provide test reports for every batch of glass syringes.
Applications of Borosilicate Glass Syringes
Our borosilicate glass syringes are engineered for controlled, contamination-minimized dispensing of viscous liquids and concentrates. They offer high chemical resistance, thermal stability, and structural integrity, making them suitable for applications where purity, heat tolerance, and accurate dosage control are critical.
Cannabis Oil & Concentrate Packaging
Borosilicate glass syringes are widely used in regulated cannabis markets for packaging and dispensing:
- THC distillate
- CBD oil
- Live resin
- Rosin
- RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)
- FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil)
Food-Grade & Specialty Liquid Dispensing
Beyond cannabis applications, borosilicate glass syringes are also used for:
- Honey and viscous syrups
- Flavor extracts
- Edible oils
- Specialty sauces
Because borosilicate glass is chemically inert and resistant to flavor absorption, it is suitable for dispensing food-grade liquids that require contamination-free handling.
Laboratory & Industrial Applications
In laboratory and industrial environments, glass syringes are used for:
- Sample transfer
- Precision craft dispensing
- Veterinary or pet medication administration
- Adhesive or resin application
Graduated glass barrels combined with luer lock or luer slip systems allow compatibility with various dispensing tips, improving versatility across industries.
