Capillary tubes are specialised laboratory consumables used for collecting and handling very small volumes of liquid, typically in clinical, pathology and research settings. They are commonly used in procedures such as microhaematocrit testing, blood sampling and other applications where precise, low-volume handling is required. Their narrow bore design allows liquids to be drawn into the tube via capillary action, making them simple and effective to use.
At Hurst Scientific, we supply capillary tubes suited to professional laboratory and clinical environments. Our range supports accurate sample collection and handling, helping laboratories maintain consistency and reliability in testing and analysis processes.
Showing the single result
Capillary tubes are available in different materials, lengths and internal diameters depending on the intended application. Glass capillary tubes are widely used for their clarity, chemical resistance and compatibility with laboratory procedures, particularly in clinical and diagnostic settings. Some tubes are plain, while others may be treated or coated for specific uses such as anticoagulant applications.
Selecting the correct capillary tube depends on the type of sample, required volume and downstream testing method. Consistent dimensions and quality are important to ensure reliable results, especially in procedures where precision is critical. Hurst Scientific offers capillary tubes designed to integrate seamlessly into laboratory workflows, supporting both routine testing and specialised applications.
Reliable consumables are essential for maintaining efficiency and accuracy in laboratory environments. Capillary tubes, while small, play an important role in ensuring consistent sample handling and measurement across a range of applications.
