Product Description
When your experiments demand uncompromising purity, this Puratronic™ copper slug delivers. With a 99.9999% metals basis, it’s engineered for applications where even trace impurities can skew results. The 6.35mm diameter and 12.7mm length make it versatile for thermal conductivity tests, electrical measurements, or as a reference standard in analytical chemistry.
Unlike standard copper samples, Puratronic™ copper undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate common contaminants like iron, nickel, and oxygen. This ensures consistent performance in sensitive environments, whether you’re calibrating instruments or conducting materials research. Researchers in India trust this grade for its reliability—no surprises, just precise data.
Need bulk quantities for your lab? eqipped offers flexible pack sizes (25g or 100g) to match your project scale. Every slug is individually inspected to meet Thermofisher’s strict quality benchmarks, so you can focus on your work without second-guessing your materials.
Why This Copper Slug Stands Out
High-purity metals aren’t just about numbers—they’re about reproducibility. Here’s what sets this product apart:
Ultra-Low Impurities: At 99.9999% purity, it exceeds typical lab-grade copper, reducing background interference in spectroscopic or electrochemical tests.
Consistent Dimensions: The uniform 6.35mm diameter and 12.7mm length simplify sample preparation, saving time in repetitive tasks.
Thermofisher’s Puratronic™ Process: A proprietary refining method ensures batch-to-batch consistency, critical for long-term studies.
Versatile Applications: From physics labs testing thermal properties to chemistry setups requiring inert electrodes, this slug adapts to diverse needs.

Common Uses in Indian Labs
Indian researchers and educators use this copper slug for:
Thermal Conductivity Experiments: Ideal for comparing heat transfer rates in different materials.
Electrical Resistivity Measurements: The high purity minimizes variability in conductivity tests.
Calibration Standards: Serves as a reference in XRF or ICP-MS analysis due to its known composition.
Corrosion Studies: The lack of impurities provides a baseline for studying copper’s reaction to environments.
Educational Demos: Universities use it to teach metallurgy principles with real-world samples.
Pro Tip: Store in a desiccator to prevent oxidation. Even high-purity copper can develop a surface layer over time, affecting sensitive measurements.
Safety and Handling
While copper is generally low-risk, follow standard lab practices:
Gloves Recommended: Prevents oils from skin transferring to the surface, which could interfere with tests.
Avoid Acids: Though resistant, prolonged exposure to strong acids may etch the surface.
Dispose Responsibly: Copper is recyclable—check local guidelines for lab metal waste.
FAQs
What’s the difference between Puratronic™ and regular copper?
Puratronic™ copper undergoes additional refining to achieve 99.9999% purity, removing trace metals like iron or zinc that standard grades retain. This makes it ideal for high-precision work.
Can I use this slug for electrical wiring experiments?
Yes, but note it’s designed for lab-scale tests, not industrial wiring. The small size is better suited for measuring resistivity or creating miniature circuits.
How do I clean the surface before use?
Use acetone or isopropyl alcohol to remove any handling residues. For oxide layers, a mild acetic acid dip (1-2 seconds) followed by rinsing with deionized water works.
Is this product available in smaller quantities than 25g?
Currently, eqipped offers 25g and 100g packs. For custom quantities, contact our team—we’ll explore solutions for your needs.
Does eqipped provide a certificate of analysis (CoA)?
Yes, every batch includes a CoA from Thermofisher, detailing purity levels and trace impurities. You’ll receive it with your order.
