It is a polyimide microtube without background during X-ray exposure.
SPIKA is a microtube for X-ray diffraction measurements made from a special polyimide resin. By controlling the microfibril structure of the polyimide polymer, the background (BKG) during X-ray irradiation is significantly reduced. ◇ Applications: Powder X-ray diffraction, single crystal X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction ◇ Heat resistance temperature: 300°C ◇ Chemical stability: Insoluble to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents ◇ Grades: Three types: low BKG type ST, SP, and BKG-free LB ◇ Tube inner diameters: 0.3mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 7.0mm ◇ Tube lengths: Standard length is 4.0mm, can be manufactured up to a maximum of 80mm ◇ Shape: For diameters other than 0.3mm, options for with/without funnel are available ◇ Tube sealing: Standard products are sealed on one side ◇ Advantages: ・The resin colors are light yellow for ST, transparent for SP, and light brown for LB, making it easy to observe samples inside the tube ・Compared to commercially available thermosetting polyimide resins, the X-ray BKG is significantly reduced ・Safe experiments can be conducted without the risk of breakage like glass materials

basic information
- It will be used as a capillary for sample filling during X-ray diffraction measurements of various materials and crystals, but it is primarily optimized for powder X-ray diffraction measurements. - Please select the tube size according to the properties of the sample and the crystal or particle size. - There are three types of materials: low BKG type ST, SP, and BKG-free LB. All of them have lower BKG than commercially available thermosetting polyimide tubes. Please choose according to the diffraction capability of the sample being measured.

Company information
― Supporting health and prevention through protein science research ― Among the diseases that must be overcome in an aging society, there are many that have molecular-level degradation of proteins as a direct cause. Furthermore, in the future, preventing diseases before they occur will become more important than treating them. Protein Wave Co., Ltd. is advancing the elucidation of disease mechanisms and the development of preventive methods, preventive medicines, and functional foods based on protein science research and its related technologies.
