Kimble Chase designs and manufactures glass products for preparative scale-up, thin
layer chromatography (TLC) and HPLC
Researchers have a source for high quality, chromatography glassware designed to
provide convenience, economy and efficiency. Kimble Chase, the largest manufacturer
of laboratory glassware products in the world, offers a portfolio of chromatography
glassware that includes columns, tanks, sample vials and its unique solvent handling
system, with Ultra-Ware
®
reservoirs.
For preparative scale-up applications, chromatographers use borosilicate glass
CHROMAFLEX
®
and FLEX-COLUMN
®
, or polypropylene DISPOSAFLEX
®
chromatography columns. Columns are supported with available fittings, flow adaptors
and packing reservoirs. For analytical separations, Kimble Chase manufactures glass
gravity columns in several configurations along with reservoirs and adaptors. For custom
chromatography columns, the Custom Glass Shop at Kimble Chase offers design and
fabrication services.
Kimble Chase offers optically clear, ruggedly durable TLC Developing Tanks in several
configurations, including rectangular and cylindrical. Microcaps are ingenious
borosilicate glass capillary tubes designed for precise TLC plate spotting. Other
accessories include TLC reagent sprayers, a plate streaker and labeling templates.
Kimble Chase offers Ultra-Ware HPLC Mobile Phase Handling Systems to improve
retention-time reproducibility and baseline stability by reducing contaminant background
noise levels. These airtight and chemically resistant systems eliminate exposure to
ambient air contaminants while maximizing the effectiveness of helium sparging. The
plastic safety coating used on Ultra-Ware reservoirs minimizes photochemical
degradation of the mobile phase by blocking virtually all ultraviolet radiation below 385
nanometers. The systems provide completely integrated filtration, sparging/degassing
and delivery of solvents. Reservoirs, with their patented conical bottoms, are available in
sizes ranging from 250 mL to 20 liters.
For chromatography sample management, Kimble Chase offers chromatography and
sample storage vials in various styles, with attached closures, printed volume
measurement lines, and closures with multiple cap and liner combinations in a choice of
materials. Kimble Chaseʼs vials are manufactured in USA-based, ISO-9001 compliant
facilities.
Kimble Chase Glass Chromatography Products are available worldwide from multiple
manufacturing facilities located in the US, Europe and Asia. For more information,
