In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern science and high-end manufacturing, the Quartz Glass Capillary Tube has emerged as a cornerstone component, particularly for optical and instrument use. These ultra-fine tubes, often with internal diameters measured in microns, provide a unique combination of physical and chemical properties that no other material can replicate. High-purity fused silica (quartz) is chosen for its exceptional UV-to-IR transparency, extreme thermal stability, and near-total chemical inertness.
The global demand for precision quartz capillary tubes is witnessing a significant surge, driven by the expansion of the telecommunications, biotechnology, and semiconductor industries. China, particularly the Donghai region, has become the world’s primary hub for quartz raw material processing. With access to 99.99% purity natural quartz veins, manufacturers like Leef Quartz are now leading the transition from basic material supply to high-precision component engineering. The commercial status of these tubes is shifting from "standard commodities" to "custom-engineered solutions," where tolerances of ±0.005mm are now a market standard.
Quartz capillary tubes are not merely "pipes"; they are precision instruments themselves. Let’s explore their critical roles in specialized fields:
In the optical sector, quartz capillaries serve as the "sleeves" or "ferrules" for fiber optic splicing and protection. Because quartz glass has a refractive index and thermal expansion coefficient identical to the optical fibers themselves, it ensures minimal signal loss and prevents misalignment during temperature fluctuations. High-power laser delivery systems also utilize these tubes to contain and guide laser beams, leveraging the material's high damage threshold.
In analytical chemistry, Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) and Gas Chromatography (GC) rely on quartz tubes for high-resolution separation of complex mixtures. The smooth internal surface of fused silica prevents sample adsorption, while its electrical insulation allows for the application of high voltages required for molecular separation. For instrument use, these tubes are often coated with polyimide or other polymers to enhance flexibility while maintaining the internal quartz integrity.
Miniaturized "Lab-on-a-Chip" devices use quartz capillaries for microfluidic handling. Their biocompatibility and transparency make them ideal for real-time fluorescence detection of DNA sequences or protein interactions. In modern medical instruments, these tubes facilitate precise dosing and sampling at the nanoliter scale.
ESTABLISHED 2015
Donghai County Leef Quartz Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2022 as a subsidiary of Lianyungang Southeast Quartz Products Co., Ltd., which was established in 2015. We are located in Donghai County, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province — known as "China Crystal Capital" and a national-level silicon material industry base. Blessed with superior high-purity quartz ore resources, Donghai is a core production area of quartz raw materials in China.
Relying on local high-grade quartz veins, we focus on the deep processing of quartz glass, and are a professional manufacturer integrating design, production, sales and foreign trade. Our expertise in Quartz Glass Capillary Tubes for optical and instrument use is backed by mature production technology and strict quality control.
We operate standardized production workshops equipped with a full set of advanced equipment for quartz cutting, grinding and high-temperature forming, establishing a complete production line from quartz processing to finished product inspection.


Backed by a professional production management team with over 10 years of industry experience, we specialize in process optimization and customized manufacturing. We support rapid prototyping and mass production for various complex products, with an annual capacity of hundreds of thousands of pieces. We accept both small-batch custom orders and large-scale bulk orders with efficient delivery.
As electronic and optical components shrink, the demand for capillary tubes with bores smaller than 10 micrometers is growing. Future manufacturing will focus on maintaining perfectly circular geometry and uniform wall thickness at these scales to prevent refractive errors in optical applications.
For high-energy laser and semiconductor applications, standard high purity is no longer enough. The industry is moving toward "6N" (99.9999%) purity levels to eliminate trace metallic impurities that can cause "darkening" or solarization under UV exposure.
At Leef Quartz, we are integrating AI-based optical inspection systems into our production lines. These systems can detect internal micro-bubbles or surface scratches that are invisible to the human eye, ensuring that every Quartz Glass Capillary Tube used in a sensitive instrument meets 100% of the required specifications.
All products are made of high-purity fused quartz raw materials, featuring excellent heat resistance (up to 1200°C), thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, high light transmittance and electrical insulation. We also provide custom processing for special-shaped products according to customer drawings.

Beakers, condensers, distillers, and capillary tubes for precise chemical analysis.
