Micro Haematocrit Capillaries
Product Code : LSK-BL-10236
Micro Haematocrit Capillaries (SKU LSK-BL-10236) are fine capillary tubes, 75 mm long and 1 mm in size, coated inside with sodium heparin and packed 100 to a pack. They are used to draw a small blood sample and spin it to read the packed cell volume. They suit physiology, haematology and medical laboratory technology practicals. Science Lab Supplies, a biology lab equipment supplier in India, offers them from Ambala to colleges, training laboratories, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
These haematocrit tubes have few but precise specifications, shown in the table. In short, each capillary measures 75 mm x 1 mm and carries a sodium heparin coating, and the tubes come in packs of 100, so one pack covers a full practical group with spares for repeat readings.

Applications and Experiments for Micro Haematocrit Capillaries
A capillary is filled with blood, sealed at one end and spun in a haematocrit centrifuge, after which students measure the column of packed red cells against the total column to work out the haematocrit. The heparin coating stops the sample clotting in the tube during this practical.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. physiology or zoology: determining packed cell volume as part of blood practicals, with cell counts made on a Haemocytometer.
- Medical laboratory technology and DMLT training: practising filling, sealing and reading capillaries.
- Senior-school blood topics, where real samples are not used, can be taught with the simulated samples of the Blood Typing Kit.
Handle blood only under supervision and your institution’s rules for biological samples, and discard used capillaries in a sharps container. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each pack holds 100 Micro Haematocrit Capillaries, 75 mm x 1 mm, coated with sodium heparin. A centrifuge, sealant and lancets are separate items in this catalogue and can be listed on the same quotation, so the full haematocrit set-up for a practical class arrives in one delivery.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request a price for a single pack for a trial practical or for a term’s worth of packs for every student group. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies lists the packing, delivery time and price for that number of packs, and centrifuges or sealant can be added.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). For a price on these capillaries, mail your pack count via the contact page, add them to the enquiry cart with other consumables, or see the lab tender page for formal procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Micro Haematocrit Capillaries used for?
They hold a small blood sample that is spun in a haematocrit centrifuge so the packed red cell column can be measured. In teaching laboratories they serve packed cell volume practicals in physiology and medical laboratory courses.
How many capillaries come in a pack, and what size are they?
Each pack contains 100 capillaries. Every tube is 75 mm long and 1 mm in size, with a sodium heparin coating on the inside to keep the sample from clotting.
How do they differ from the Capillary Heparin Tube in the Clinical Laboratory range?
That item has an inner diameter of 1.15 mm and a 75 mm length, packed in glass boxes of 100. These capillaries are 75 mm x 1 mm with a sodium heparin coating, also in packs of 100.
Who supplies these capillaries?
Science Lab Supplies quotes and despatches them from Ambala, India, for colleges, training laboratories and resellers, and can bundle them with centrifuges, sealant and lancets so that one order covers a complete practical.
