metal tubing for microfluidic chip

Hello Guocheng,

If you need just small amounts of tubing, visit a local hobby shop.
They sell brass and aluminum tubing in various diameters in about 12-
inch lengths, and it is relatively inexpensive.  I believe they are
commonly used for gas engines on model airplanes.
