GLT™ (Glass Lined Tubing)

Acid and Base Resistant | Biocompatible | Temperature-Resistant

• GLT™ exhibits excellent resistance to strong acids and bases unlike inferior silica coated brands.
• GLT™ is biocompatible making it ideal for many HPLC applications. A mirror surface finish allows high HPLC column efficiencies.
• GLT™ can withstand high temperatures. Maximum temperature for continuous use of GLT™ is 500 C. The glass is secured to the steel wall because of the higher coeffi cient thermal expansion of the steel relative to the glass.
• GLT™ can be used for: reactor tubing transfer lines, flow lines for stack probes for environmental monitoring, HPLC columns for protein and biosensitive analyses, mass spectrometer interfaces, thermal desorption tubes, inert tee pieces and unions.
• GLT™ can be formed into a multitude of shapes and can also be joined by welding or silver soldering.
  
  

Tubing comes in a wide range of sizes with outer diameters of 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 1/2" (standard), 8 and 4 mm (non-standard) and internal diameters between 0.3 – 9.5 mm. GLT™ can be machined to form union fittings and a range of other chromatography accessories. There is no limit to the range of applications GLT™ can service.

Connections

• Use of Swagelok® ferrules with larger ID GLT™ may result in cracking of the glass liner. The use of graphite ferrules is recommended for connecting GLT™ . Swagelok® metal ferrules may only be used with 2 and 3 mm ID 1/4" OD, and 1.5 mm ID and under 1/8" OD GLT™ .
