PekkaNF:
Thank you much Matthew,

I was thinkking that silicon. I presume it is stable enough too? I started to think thermal and moisture properties of it and then started to think that it might not be as big problem as it intilaly looks if there is constant "ring" around the tube and reasonnably symmetrical to both ends. Sagging and thermal expanison shoud be to some extent self canceling.

You probably have a cunning plan?

I'm thinkking of using silicon as sealant/thin O-ring and check if it works. If it does not, then POP it.

You probably have a cunning plan? Not yet, I'm still thinking about how I'm going to mount the tubes holding the vials.
