Glass capillaries

The distinctiveness of these capillaries is their very thin wall-thickness in relation to their diameter. The extremely thin walls lead to the special feature of these capillaries to be deformed easily. Additional features linked to the thin wall-thickness are minimal optical distortion as well as very low absorption for a wide range of radiation. This feature is used e.g. for the construction of optical measuring cells. Materials Soda-lime glass (AR, I860, PH360 etc.) Gamma sterilized soda-lime glass Borosilicate glass (DURAN©, PYREX©, SIMAX© etc.) Neutral glass (FIOLAX© and DUROBAX©) Aluminum silicate glass (Schott 8252/8253) Quartz glass (naturally melted quartz glass and synthetically produced quartz glass, incl. F300) Lead glass (lead content up to 28%) Sealing glasses for various metals such as: kovar, molybdenum, steel, silver, platinum, palladium Process of Production Like most of our capillaries the ultrathin capillaries are manufactured using the redrawing method....
