Are borosilicate electrodes available?

Hi, all. I'm looking for borosilicate glass electrodes for laser projects and higher temperature discharge tube experimentation. Does anyone know of a source? I've had no luck asking the usual sign suppliers and electrode manufaturers. I'd rather purchase them than make my own - graded seals are a pain, dumet wire will not work with borosilicate, and the only metal that I know of with a compatible expansion coefficient - platinum - is currently far too costly. Any leads would be appreciated. TIA, Dave
