Quartz Fluorine Tube
A Quartz Fluorine Vessel is a specialized contained built to hold and view fluorine, the most reactive and electronegative substance known. The preparation of these vessels is delicate and labor intensive. Most containers designed to hold fluorine are lined with Teflon because of its almost non-existent reactivity. The clear substrate onto which the Teflon or another fluorocarbon must be applied is a high-purity, single crystal quartz tube.

Famous quotes containing the word tube:
“One of the great natural phenomena is the way in which a tube of toothpaste suddenly empties itself when it hears that you are planning a trip, so that when you come to pack it is just a twisted shell of its former self, with not even a cubic millimeter left to be squeezed out.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
