Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a plunger piston for use in a syringe and especially in a micro-dosing syringe pump application. The plunger piston comprises a front face opposite a rear face and at least one annular groove positioned between the front face and the rear face. The plunger piston includes a plurality of channels extending from the front face into the groove, the channels providing communication between the front face and the groove. An O-ring is received in the groove and the channels serve to equalize pressures around a first side of the O-ring to improve sealing performance and micro-dosing accuracy of a syringe or a micro-dosing syringe pump utilizing the plunger piston.
