Aluminosilicate Glass

Aluminosilicate capillary tubes are harder than borosilicate making it more suitable for penetrating tough tissues.

Aluminosilicate Glass Capillaries (Schott 8252)

Aluminosilicate softens at a higher temperature (935°C) than borosilicate and is workable over a much narrower range. It has a tendency to continuously thin out as it is drawn which allows extremely fine tips with very short tapers. For example, we have pulled aluminosilicate tips in the 20-30 nanometer range with taper lengths of 5-6 mm. Its resistivity is several orders of magnitude higher than borosilicate, thus reducing leakage currents when used in ion-selective micropipettes. Aluminosilicate is harder than borosilicate which results in a pipette that is more suitable for penetrating tough tissues.

Our range of Aluminosilicate Glass Capillaries all have fire-polished ends. This process eliminates any sharp edges, making it easier to insert into holders, and does not affect the electrical or mechanical properties of the glass.
