Custom precision quartz capillary tubes are widely used in chromatography, medical diagnostics, optical fiber communications, flow cytometry, and precision fluid delivery systems due to their exceptional optical purity, high thermal stability, and tight dimensional control.
Fluorine-doped fused silica provides a systematically lowered refractive index compared to pure silica. This property makes it optimal for optical cladding, capillary electrophoresis, deep UV transmission, and microfluidics requiring low autofluorescence.
Depending on diameter and wall thickness requirements, custom precision drawing processes can achieve outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter (ID) tolerances as tight as ±0.001 mm to ±0.005 mm.
Fused silica features an exceptionally low coefficient of thermal expansion and outstanding thermal shock resistance, allowing it to maintain dimensional stability under continuous working temperatures exceeding 1000°C.
Yes, customization options include precision end-face optical polishing, custom cleaving, polyimide protective coating, anti-reflective coatings, and specialized inner-channel geometry according to engineering drawings.
