Capillary Tubing (VitroTubes™)
VitroCom fabricates a complete line of high quality VitroTubes (Hollow capillaries packed in convenient screw-capped plastic vials) in Borosilicate and Synthetic Fused Silica glasses that can be drawn to various sizes. VitroTubes are available in three shapes: Round, Rectangle, and Square and provide the fastest, cleanest, most convenient method for collecting, viewing, and storing liquid samples. Capillary action instantly collects the sample and retains a precision optical path length while viewing at any angle, minimizing reflections and eliminating the need of a cover glass. Samples can be permanently retained for reference by fusing or cementing the open ends. Tolerances of +/-10% of inner dimensions are standard, but custom sizes with tighter tolerances are also available. With over 40 years experience in glass fabrication, state-of-the-art equipment, and a highly qualified staff of Engineers and Technicians, VitroCom is ready to meet your most demanding requirements or simply ship from our stock catalog items.
