== Kapton ==
We have used the following suppliers for Kapton tubing:
*MicroLumen, Inc.  (http://www.microlumen.com/)
*Cole-Parmer  (http://www.coleparmer.com/catalog/product_index.asp?cls=6806)
The MicroLumen company can make almost any size you need, and is happy to send samples as well.  Cole Parmer has a list of different available sizes on the webpage, and you might be able to find the Cole-Parmer brand on Fisher Scientific or a similar supply company.
=== On-Site Users  ===
A selection of Kapton, Glass and fused Quartz capillary tubes are available at 11-BM for on-site experiments. Check with staff to confirm, but the materials and dimensions shown below are typically on hand.
Use quartz for high temperature work ( > 450 C). Glass adds a bit smaller background to the diffraction pattern and is easier to seal, but fused quartz tubes are stronger, more chemical resistant, and survive higher temperatures.
