Frequently asked questions
Does the soda lime glass provide reliable results?
Yes, these tubes are crafted from high-quality soda lime glass, which is precision-molded to ensure excellent sample retention during the centrifugation process for highly reliable hematocrit determinations.
Is the sodium heparin additive effective for finger sticks?
Absolutely. The integrated sodium heparin additive is specifically designed to prevent coagulation when collecting blood via finger stick, ensuring that your sample remains viable and fluid for accurate testing.
How do I easily identify these heparinized tubes?
Each tube is marked with a distinct red stripe. This high-visibility color-coding allows practitioners to instantly differentiate these heparinized tubes from untreated alternatives in a busy clinical environment.
Are these tubes safe for individuals with latex allergies?
Yes, these capillary tubes are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for use in medical facilities with strict latex-free requirements.
What is the maximum speed the glass can withstand?
These precision-molded tubes are engineered for durability and carry an RCF rating of 14,500 RPM, ensuring they remain stable during high-speed centrifugation.
How many tubes come in a full box?
Each box contains 1,000 tubes total, conveniently organized into 10 vials of 100 tubes each to support a streamlined workflow in high-volume laboratories.
Are these tubes compliant with trade agreements?
Yes, this product is Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant, meeting the necessary standards for use in government and institutional medical procurement.
What are the dimensions of each capillary tube?
Each individual tube measures 1.1 mm in diameter by 75 mm in length, with a consistent capacity of 75 µL for precise specimen collection.
Are these tubes suitable for manual hematocrit calculation?
Yes, these tubes are specifically designed for micro-hematocrit determinations and are perfect for use alongside specialized reading charts for efficient manual hematocrit calculation.
Do the tubes require any special preparation before use?
No special preparation is required. The tubes are designed for rapid filling, allowing medical professionals to efficiently collect samples and move directly to the centrifugation phase of their testing process.
