Product Description
When your research demands uncompromising purity, this Puratronic™ copper wire delivers. With a 99.9985% metals basis purity, it’s engineered for applications where even trace impurities can skew results. The 0.25mm diameter offers flexibility for intricate setups, whether you’re working on electrical conductivity tests, semiconductor research, or calibration standards.
Unlike standard copper wires, this high-purity variant undergoes rigorous refining to eliminate contaminants like oxygen, sulfur, and other metals. That means fewer variables in your experiments and more reliable data. The smooth, uniform surface ensures consistent performance, while the 50m or 10m spool options let you choose the right quantity for your project scale.
Students and researchers trust eqipped for lab supplies that meet global standards. This copper wire is no exception—it’s the same grade used in advanced physics labs and industrial R&D. Whether you’re building circuits, studying thermal conductivity, or validating analytical instruments, this wire provides the precision you need.

Why This Copper Wire Stands Out
Not all copper wires are created equal. Here’s what sets this one apart:
1. Exceptional Purity – At 99.9985%, it’s among the purest commercially available copper wires, reducing interference in sensitive measurements.
2. Consistent Diameter – The 0.25mm (0.01in) thickness is tightly controlled, ensuring uniformity across the entire spool.
3. Versatile Applications – From electronics prototyping to materials science research, its high conductivity and low resistivity make it a go-to choice.
4. Corrosion Resistance – Puratronic™ processing minimizes oxidative reactions, extending the wire’s lifespan in humid or reactive environments.
5. Traceability – Each batch is documented for quality assurance, so you can trust the specifications match your requirements.
Common Uses in Labs and Research
This copper wire isn’t just for general use—it’s designed for scenarios where precision matters:
Electrical Engineering – Ideal for creating low-resistance connections in circuit boards or calibration standards.
Physics Experiments – Used in Hall effect studies, superconductivity research, and electromagnetic field measurements.
Chemistry Labs – Serves as a high-purity electrode in electrolysis or electrochemical cells.
Material Science – Helps in thermal conductivity tests and metallurgical analysis due to its consistent composition.
Education – A staple in university labs for student projects and demonstration experiments requiring reliable conductivity.
Handling and Storage Tips
To maintain the wire’s integrity:
Storage – Keep in a dry, sealed container to prevent oxidation. Avoid exposure to moisture or corrosive chemicals.
Handling – Use clean gloves when working with the wire to prevent contamination from oils or dirt.
Cutting – For precise lengths, use ceramic or stainless-steel cutters to avoid introducing metallic impurities.
Cleaning – If needed, wipe gently with isopropyl alcohol (not included) to remove surface residues.
Safety Considerations
While copper is generally low-risk, follow these precautions:
Avoid Inhalation – Do not burn or melt the wire, as copper fumes can be hazardous.
Skin Contact – Prolonged handling may cause mild irritation; wash hands after use.
Disposal – Recycle or dispose of according to local regulations for metallic waste.
FAQs
What makes Puratronic™ copper wire different from regular copper wire?
Puratronic™ copper undergoes advanced refining to achieve 99.9985% purity, eliminating impurities that could affect conductivity or experimental results. Regular copper wire may contain traces of other metals or oxygen, leading to inconsistent performance.
Can this wire be used for high-temperature applications?
Yes, but with caution. Copper’s melting point is 1,085°C, but prolonged exposure to high heat may cause oxidation. For extreme temperatures, consider inert gas environments or protective coatings.
Is this wire suitable for medical or food-related research?
While highly pure, this wire isn’t certified for direct medical implants or food contact. For such applications, consult biocompatible or food-grade alternatives.
How do I choose between the 10m and 50m spool?
The 10m spool is ideal for small-scale projects or occasional use, while the 50m spool offers better value for frequent lab work or bulk requirements. Both maintain the same purity and specifications.
Does eqipped offer custom lengths or diameters?
Currently, we stock standard 0.25mm diameter wires in 10m and 50m lengths. For custom requests, contact our team to explore feasibility and lead times.
