High-Purity Quartz Capillaries: Precision-Crafted Core Components for Diverse High-End Applications

Quartz capillaries, manufactured from fused silica (SiO₂) with a purity of ≥99.99% via precision melt-drawing, are microtubular structures. As critical core components, they find wide application in analytical chemistry, biomedicine, optical fiber communications, and microfluidics, supporting reliable operations in both scientific research and industrial production.

1.Properties of Quartz Capillaries

Property Category

Key Specifications & Advantages

Chemical Inertness

Resists most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents (excluding hydrofluoric acid and hot phosphoric acid); smooth, non-adsorptive surface ensures high analysis sensitivity/accuracy.

Thermal Stability

Softening point >1600°C (supports long-term high-temperature work); thermal expansion coefficient = 0.5×10⁻⁶/°C (excellent thermal shock resistance, no deformation risk).

Optical Transparency

High transmittance in 190-2500nm (UV-NIR) band; ideal for optical window applications (e.g., fluorescence detection, laser transmission).

Mechanical Performance

Mohs hardness 7; available inner diameter: 0.05mm-9mm, outer diameter: 0.08mm-10mm; precise dimensional control balances mechanical strength and microscale adaptability (note: avoid severe impact due to brittleness).



2.Application of Quartz Capillaries

Field

Specific Applications

Analytical Chemistry

Core component for Capillary Electrophoresis (CE); enables efficient separation of DNA, proteins, and small molecules for high-sensitivity detection.

Biomedicine

Integrates into microfluidic chips (single-cell analysis, drug screening); supports high-sensitivity biosensors (via fluorescence/Raman technology) for accurate biomarker detection.

Optical Fiber & Optoelectronics

Compatible with PLC splitters, borosilicate single bore ferrule,quartz glass ferrule,fiber connectors, WDM devices, and fiber optic sensors; serves as array unit for Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers (HC-PCF) to transmit high-power lasers or special-band optical signals.

Industry & Research

High-temperature corrosion-resistant reaction channels (semiconductor material synthesis); low-background sample tubes for X-ray Diffraction (XRD); applicable in laser wire bonding and electronic component assembly.
