A tool for chamfering cleaved tips of optical fibers. The tool including conical bores of relatively smooth and hard material terminate at a cylindrical bore that is slightly larger than the fiber core maximum diameter and a fiber centering bore that is slightly larger than the fiber coating maximum diameter. The tool provided such that when a cleaved fiber tip is inserted into the centering bore the sharp edge falls upon the chamfering surface that, when rotated relative to the fiber, gently grinds the edge to the chamfer angle. Chamfering cannot occur on the core face due to the absence of tool surface at this dimension.

Herein is disclosed an inlet liner for use within an injection port of a capillary gas chromatograph. The inlet liner can include a first fused quartz tube and a second fused quartz tube aligned along a common longitudinal axis; the outside surface of the first fused quartz tube affixed to the inside surface of the second fused quartz tube. In certain instances, the tubers are affixed at two points along the longitudinal axis thereby defining a hermetically sealed volume between the outside surface of the first quartz tube and the inside surface of the second fused quartz tube, wherein the hermetically sealed volume entrains a reactive surface.
