These two types of hematocrit tubes are designed to reduce injury or contamination from accidental breakage. These tubes meet government agency safety recommendations for the use of glass capillary tubes for blood collection.

Hemato-clad™ Mylar® Wrapped Hematocrit Tubes combine the precision of glass with the safety provided by the Mylar overwrap. In the event of breakage, the Mylar wrapping contains the sample and provides an added layer of protection against cuts from broken glass.

Plasticrit Hematocrit Tubes are completely unbreakable. They are made of a treated polycarbonate that will fill by capillary attraction.
