Glass capillary tubes

Manufactured by World Precision Instruments
Sourced in United States

Glass capillary tubes are hollow, thin-walled glass tubes with a small internal diameter, typically ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 millimeters. They are used for a variety of laboratory applications where precise fluid handling or sample containment is required.

Indentation of Silicone-Filled Capillary Tubes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An indenter was constructed with a translation stage from Thorlabs (Z812B), and glass capillary tubes (2.0/1.12 mm outer/inner diameter, World Precision Instruments, Inc). Upon indentation, the silicone in the middle of the tube was pushed down and the surface stretched18 . The resulting strain at the center of the tube was nearly equi-biaxial and its magnitude increased with the indentation depth. In these experiments, the indentation depth varied from 200 to 600 µm. The capillary tube height was controlled through the APT program (Thorlabs), and moved at a constant speed of 0.3 mm/sec during both indentation and release. Resulting substrate deformation profiles are displayed and quantified in Supplementary Fig. S2.

Magnesium Sulfate Crystallization in Porous Substrates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate
(99.99%, Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) and distilled
water (σ < 5 μS/cm) were utilized to make supersaturated
MgSO4 solution as well as such solutions with concentrations
of 5.0, 15.0, and 26.7% (saturated at 25 °C), to study the migration
and crystallization of magnesium sulfate droplets on hydrophilic substrates
and of magnesium sulfate solutions in the capillary tube.
Glass
capillary tubes with an inner diameter of the mouth of 0.1 μm
(World Precision Instruments, Inc., USA) and transparent hydrophilic
porous glass slides (Shanghai Jinglun Industrial Glass Co., Ltd.,
China) were selected in consideration of the pore size distribution
range of porous cultural relics samples.

Fabrication of Ca2+ Selective Microelectrodes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To construct ion-selective microelectrodes, glass capillary tubes (no. TW 150–4; World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, FL, USA) were pulled on a Sutter P-97 Flaming Brown pipette puller (Sutter Instruments, San Rafael, CA, USA) into micropipettes with tip diameters of 3~4 μm. The micropipettes were then baked at 120°C overnight and coated with dimethyl chlorosilane (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. The micropipettes were backfilled with a 1-cm column of 100 mM CaCl2 for the Fluka Ca2+-selective microelectrode. The microelectrode was then frontloaded with a 20~30-μm column of Ca2+ ionophore I cocktail A (Sigma-Aldrich) to create a Ca2+-selective microelectrode.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
