Chromatography Column

Glass Columns for Chromatography

Glass columns for chromatography are indispensable tools in laboratories, used for the separation and analysis of samples. These columns find application in various techniques, such as ion exchange chromatography and gas chromatography, being essential in both research and development and quality control.

• • Material: Borosilicate glass 3.3

• • Porous Plate: Number 0 (160-250 µm)

• • Stopcock: PTFE Teflon with a 12.5 bore

Borosilicate Glass 3.3 Qualities

Borosilicate glass 3.3 is preferred in laboratory settings due to its exceptional properties:

• • Chemical Resistance: Does not react or corrode easily, allowing use with a wide range of substances.

• • Thermal Tolerance: Withstands extreme temperatures and sudden changes without fracturing.

• • Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient: Minimizes deformation under temperature fluctuations, ensuring durability.

• • Low Thermal Conductivity: Allows precise control in equipment requiring heat transfer.

• • Optical Transparency: Facilitates clear observation of experimental processes due to its low refractive index.

Despite its robustness compared to common glass, borosilicate retains some fragility against impacts. However, its unique combination of characteristics makes it ideal for critical applications where dimensional stability and pressure resistance are required.
