I would just like to point out that silastic tubing can shatter with LN2.
There was a fellow at GE NMR that lost an eye filling LN2.
Stick with rubber...

You can order it from Fischer Scientific, Cat.No. 14-178-5F. It is only 12
feet long and costs $120!
You can also buy 50ft black latex tubing with the same specs from VWR for $150.
Part.No. 62995-721. I haven't used this one though. I have used the amber
variety, but its wall thickness is only 3/32" instead of 1/8" and it feels a
little too flimsy. It would be nice to hear from someone who has used the
black one...

I am looking to buy 50 ft of Natural Rubber tubing. I bought a 50 ft roll 15
years ago that was super expensive from a glassblower supply place. All I
am seeing now is cheap latex called natural for much too cheap. I've tried
the cheap stuff and it cracks quickly. I can use silicone but prefer natural
rubber if I can get it. Anyone know where I can get 50 ft of 3/8 in ID and
1/8 in wall real natural rubber tubing?
