Glass Capillary Tubes Lichen 100mm, 0.3mm ID/0.5mm OD, 1000 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Glass Capillary Tubes offered by Lichen Cottage are engineered for laboratory precision. Each tube measures 100mm in length, providing a convenient size for handling and storage while maintaining a slender profile. The inner diameter of 0.3mm and outer diameter of 0.5mm create a tight tolerance that ensures consistent capillary action, essential for thin‑layer chromatography (TLC) spotting and micro‑volume transfers. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the tubes are chemically inert, resistant to thermal shock, and maintain optical clarity for visual monitoring of liquid movement.

With a pack of 1,000 tubes, researchers receive a reliable supply that reduces the need for frequent reordering, supporting continuous workflow in busy labs. The tubes are colorless and feature a smooth surface that minimizes sample adhesion, allowing for clean and repeatable transfers. Their design eliminates the need for additional accessories, simplifying experimental setups and reducing overall consumable costs.

Usage

These capillary tubes excel in a variety of laboratory environments. In analytical chemistry, they are used to apply precise sample volumes onto TLC plates, ensuring sharp, well‑defined spots that improve separation quality. Organic chemists rely on the tubes for transferring microliter quantities of reagents between reaction vessels, where accuracy directly impacts yield and reproducibility. The tubes also serve in educational settings, allowing students to practice micro‑handling techniques without the risk of large‑scale waste.

Because the glass is resistant to most solvents, the tubes can be employed with a wide range of organic and aqueous solutions. Their durability makes them suitable for repeated use after proper cleaning, extending their service life and contributing to sustainable laboratory practices. Whether you are conducting high‑throughput screening, small‑scale synthesis, or routine quality control, these capillary tubes provide the reliability needed for consistent results.

FAQ

What solvents are compatible with these glass capillary tubes?

The tubes are made from borosilicate glass, which is resistant to most organic solvents, acids, and bases. They can safely handle solvents such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, dichloromethane, and aqueous solutions. For highly aggressive acids like hydrofluoric acid, special precautions are required.

Can the tubes be reused after cleaning?

Yes, the smooth, non‑porous surface allows for thorough cleaning with appropriate solvents. After cleaning, rinse with distilled water and dry before reuse. Proper cleaning extends the lifespan of the tubes and supports sustainable lab practices.

How do I store the capillary tubes to prevent breakage?

Store the tubes in a protective container or the original packaging, keeping them upright and away from sharp edges. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and handle them with tweezers or a capillary holder to minimize mechanical stress.

What is the tolerance on the inner and outer diameters?

The inner diameter tolerance is ±0.1mm, and the outer diameter tolerance is also ±0.1mm. This tight tolerance ensures consistent capillary action across the entire pack, which is critical for reproducible TLC spotting and micro‑volume transfers.
