  We describe the crystal growth of high quality single crystals of the
non-centrosymmetric superconductor, Ru7B3 by the floating zone technique, using
an optical furnace equipped with xenon arc lamps. The crystals obtained are
large and suitable for detailed measurements, and have been examined using
x-ray Laue patterns. The superconducting properties of the crystals obtained
have been investigated by magnetisation and resistivity measurements. Crystals
have also been grown starting with enriched 11B isotope, making them suitable
for neutron scattering experiments.
