Synthetic fused silica capillary tubing is commonly used as the preferred substrate for chromatographic separation columns. In limited instances the absorption and diffusion of molecules into and through the fused silica deserves consideration.

Synthetic fused silica capillary tubing has proven to be a vital component in many separation science techniques. Recently, it has expanded to serve an array of scientific markets. In most cases, an understanding of the internal surface chemistry is of fundamental importance.
