These plastic micro hematocrit capillary tubes are completely unbreakable. They eliminate the risk of injury and contamination associated with glass tubes due to breakage. Plastic micro hematocrit capillary tubes comply with FDA, NIOSH, CDC and OSHA safety recommendations.
Features
- Made from polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) plastic
- Unbreakable, preventing risk of injury and contamination
- FDA, NIOSH, CDC and OSHA compliant
- Centrifuge spin rate up to 12,000 RPM for 4 minutes
- Packaged 100 tubes per vial, 10 vials per box (1000 tubes per case)
- Colored tip for easy identification (blue)
- Latex free
PLEASE NOTE: Only use plastic capillary tubes on micro-hematocrit centrifuge rotors that support the entire length of the tube. If the rotor only supports the tubes at two points, the tubes will bend and the sample will be lost. For rotors that support two points, use our glass capillary tubes.
If collecting anti-coagulated blood from a blood collection tube, use a plain capillary tube.
If collecting by finger stick from a patient or when using untreated blood, use capillary tubes that are treated with an anticoagulant (heparin).
