The
following are answers to frequently asked questions regarding
LabSmith's Microfluidics kits and
components:
Place the capillary tubing on a clean, flat surface. If possible,
apply slight linear tension.
-
Holding the cleaving stone at approximately
30° angle
to the tubing, draw the non-serrated edge of the cleaving
stone across the tubing. Apply just enough pressure to penetrate
through the polyimide coating.
-
Pull the tubing axially until it breaks. If it won't break,
the polyimide coating has not been fully penetrated. Repeat
the above steps, pressing down with slightly more force while
drawing the cleaving stone across the tubing.
-
Once cleaved, inspect the end finish to ensure the cleave
quality meets the application requirements.
