Vitrex Medical A/S products

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 waer 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 ~75 μl. The plastic tube provides the same effect as the glass tube, but the possibility of contamination with the plastic tube is reduced due to breakage with no compromise in accuracy.
