GCA

Glass Capillary Array

Enabling the vision of tomorrow through massively parallel analysis.

Incom’s GCAs are dense arrays of flow-through glass capillaries with large cross-sectional areas and unlimited length to diameter ratio. Currently manufactured with internal diameter pores as small as 5um, these arrays are produced with a fire polished smooth ID and are chemically resistant. The capillaries can be made in either a clear format or black, crosstalk-reducing format. Incom currently has the ability to manufacture capillary boules as large as 230mm x 230mm x 400mm (L x W x D), which can be formed to any specified dimensions. Their process is scalable and fully customizable to meet your individual requirements.

Features

  • High length-to-diameter ratio
  • Large active area (up to 230mm x 230mm)
  • High open area ratio (up to 80%)
  • Pore diameters of 5 μm and larger
  • High heat resistance (700ºC MAX)
  • Wide variety of glass options
  • Custom fabrications solutions
  • Chemically resistant
  • Fire polished IDs

Applications

  • Time of flight (TOF) Mass spectrometry

  • Neutron detection

  • Micro Channel Plates (MCP)

  • PET-Scan

  • Microfluidic analysis

Polymer Capillary Tubing

Polymer Capillary Tubing

Incom also offers custom medical grade capillary tubes, which are manufactured in a cleanroom-enclosed fiber optic draw tower from medical grade materials. Materials are USP Class VI and/or ISO 10993 approved.

This capillary tubing is available in many different sizes with many different types of material. They are also capable of producing unique patterns and shapes, to satisfy your specific needs.
