What Is a Glass Capillary Tube Used For?
Dip one end of a narrow-bore tube in coloured water and the liquid climbs inside it, well above the level outside. This simple capillary tube experiment shows how surface tension and adhesion move water up thin channels, linking to the ascent of sap in class 11 biology and to surface tension in class 11 physics. Short pieces are also used to place a small, tight spot of leaf extract on chromatography paper.
Cut the long tube into handy pieces by scoring it once with a file and snapping it inside a cloth, then smooth the sharp ends. Keep the bore clean and dry, because a speck of dust will block such a narrow tube.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the bore and length of this capillary tube?
The bore is 0.5 mm and the tube is 500 mm long. The outside diameter is not listed; ask JLab if you need it. The tube can be cut into shorter pieces for student use.
Can the capillary tube be heated?
It is listed as heat resistant and chemical resistant. The glass type is not stated, so ask JLab before you plan to draw or seal tubes in a flame.
Who manufactures this capillary tube?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a laboratory glassware manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017, with its office on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. These tubes are made at JLab’s own works and not bought in from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy direct from the maker and repeat supplies come from the same works. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Myanmar in Southeast Asia, Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, Japan in East Asia, Sudan in North Africa and Luxembourg in Western Europe.
