Vitrex Micro Haematocrit Tubes

Vitrex Micro Haematocrit Tubes are quality products, that conform to international standard ISO 12772. The tubes are firepolished at the colour-coded end to reduce wear on the centrifuge seals. We recommend the colour-coded end to be sealed with Vitrex Wax plate. The colour-coding on the tubes and packaging indicates the impregnation of the tube: plain (blue colour), sodium heparin (red colour), ammonium heparin (green colour) and lithium heparin (orange colour). Each heparinised tube contains at least 4-7 IU heparin as prescribed by the standard. Vitrex Micro Haematocrit tubes are also available in plastic with plain, sodium or ammonium heparin in a volume of ~50 μl. The plastic tube provides the same effect as the glass tube.

The tubes are available in two types of packaging: Dispenser vials of 100 tubes each for hygienic and easy handling; and economy cardboard boxes of 1000 tubes, which reduce transport and handling costs. Special requirements regarding marking, dimensions or impregnation are possible.
