Why is Air-Tite collecting sales tax on my order?
In June 2018 the Supreme Court ruled in a case known as South Dakota v. Wayfair (yes, that’s Wayfair the on-line furniture retailer) that a business no longer has to have a “physical presence” (something like an office, warehouse, store, etc.) in order for a state to require the collection of sales tax. This case overturned a 25 year old court ruling in a case named Quill Corp v. North Dakota. So, now any State that has passed legislation which says that a business with an “economic presence” can require the collection of sales tax.

As a globally-sourced importer of hypodermic supplies, we are acutely aware of the impact that the spread of this virus is having on supply streams around the world. Please see the attached document for our statement effective March 17, 2020. COVID-19 April 1 2020 Update
“Dead space” refers to the small area behind the tip of a syringe where conventional syringe plungers cannot reach. Product in this area cannot be injected during treatment and is often discarded. Air-Tite offers TSK Laboratory low dead space syringes and other products designed to reduce wastage of injectables.
Both luer lock and luer slip syringes accept standard hypodermic needles, but luer slip syringes secure these with a tight “friction” fit between the needle base and the syringe tip. Luer lock syringes instead use threads to secure the needle. Luer lock syringes are more provide an extra layer of security to reduce the risk of needle pop off.
Give us a call. Our helpful, knowledgeable customer service staff are ready to help you find the products, sizes, and combinations you need. And, unlike many aesthetic suppliers, Air-Tite can provide samples of our products for you to try.
Yes! Air-Tite offers two-part, all-plastic, oil-free syringes designed for veterinary use. Both Luer Slip AND Luer Lock syringes are available in a range of sizes from 1 ml to 50 ml and in sterile or unsterile packaging.
Air-Tite can manufacture vacutainers customized to our customer’s specific needs. Select the tube size, tube material, cap style and color, and labeling combination that you need. We also offer additive/non-additive, clot-activator, and EDTA K2/EDTA options.
Air-Tite’s unbeatable selection includes rare, specialized, and hard-to-find needle and syringe combinations, (such as 1 ml/25Gx⅝” — available with both Luer Slip and Luer Lock).
If we are out of stock, or a product has been discontinued, we can help source an appropriate substitute from another manufacturer or distributor. Another Air-Tite advantage is that if we are unable to source a product, we can develop a custom product (syringe, needle, or vacutainer) for any customer or distributor.
Our product pages are automatically synced with our inventory system. If an item is out of stock, it will be noted on the product page. If the notice does not appear on the page, it can be assumed the item is in stock. Pricing is also viewable on each product page. If you don’t see the exact supplies you need on our website, please contact our customer support service via phone, email, or our online form. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and check in with our suppliers and local distributors for any items we might not have on hand.

Disposable three-part syringes provide a safe and effective solution for most laboratory and medical purposes. Two-part plastic or glass syringes are sometimes preferred to avoid any potential contamination from the silicone lubricant and/or rubber plungers commonly used in three-part syringes.
A Luer Lock syringe provides a thread to which a standard needle hub is attached for a more secure fitting. Luer Slip syringes allow needles to be pressed quickly into place for quicker application.
Reducing product waste begins with the selection of the appropriate syringe and needle combination. Air-Tite offers a range of “low dead space” syringes to reduce the amount of product left in the syringe barrel after use. Other syringe-needle combinations provide an inherent advantage, such as fixed needle syringes.
Air-Tite imports high-quality products from worldwide leaders in equipment manufacturing in more than 10 countries and stocks hundreds of off-the-shelf syringe solutions. If we do not have a hard-to-find or niche product on hand, we’ll work with our global manufacturing partners to come up with a custom solution to meet your needs.
