Mail-in Users
Specific mail-in samples (for example air sensitive material) may require the use of additional glass or fused quartz capillary tubes. Any additional capillary must fit and be secured inside the supplied Kapton tube.
11-BM does not provide glass or quartz capillaries for mail-in experiments. Only Kapton tubes (with an inner diameter of 0.81 mm) are provided for the mail-in service.
Users are referred to the following vendors in the USA for capillaries:

or

the 0.5 mm (always) and the 0.7 mm (sometimes) diameter capillaries fit inside the standard Kapton tubes supplied by 11-BM for mail-in samples. The Kapton tubes have a ID of 0.81 mm. The precision of the glass or quartz capillaries is sometimes poor, so the 0.7 can be tight fit, but usually work.
When returning samples loaded in glass capillaries, please leave a note in the package so we be sure to take extra care when handling.
best regards Matthew
