lower melting-point glass tubing or rod ranging from 0.6 to 3.0 mm in diameter. This
instrument does not pull quartz glass. Examples of the specific types and sizes of glass that
can be used with the P-97 are listed in the Sutter Instrument Company catalogue that was
included with this instrument or can be viewed on Sutter Instrument’s web site at
www.sutter.com. Any glass with comparable technical specifications can be used with the P-97.

The type and size of glass that you choose may require a Heating Filament other than the
one installed in your puller at the factory. Please refer to the Heating Filament section of this
