Technical detail
Product details
Glass components for small fluid volumes
Microcapillaries and micropipettes transport and manipulate small amounts of fluid.
Geometry comes first
Specify internal and external diameters, length, tip geometry and the required glass material. State the dimensions that are critical to the application.
Describe the working conditions
Include the fluid, connection method and intended use. Confirm compatibility, handling, dimensional checks and the agreed supply format with the team.
