The Laboratory Capillary Tubes category covers equipment and consumables used to measure, dispense, aspirate, pump and route liquids accurately between vessels, instruments and process steps. These products are not isolated purchases, because their performance is tied to the sample, surrounding equipment and the way the wider method is carried out.
Volume error, unsuitable wetted materials, trapped air and poor connections can affect concentration, recovery and repeatability. This is why laboratories should assess volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.
The complete fluid path should match the required volume or flow range, liquid properties, tubing and connection sizes, control method and cleaning approach. When each stage is matched correctly, laboratories in analytical, life-science, chemistry, process-development and quality-control laboratories can work more consistently and manage changeovers, replenishment and maintenance with fewer interruptions. As part of the Laboratory Liquid Handling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Capillary Tubes range
Our collection covers these tubes compatible with standard pipette controllers, capillary tubes formats, specifications and compatibility, applications for hirschmann ringcaps, and capillary tubes workflow compatibility, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
These tubes compatible with standard pipette controllers
Many capillary tubes are designed to be used with specialised small-volume pipette holders or controllers that allow the user to dispense the measured volume accurately. Before ordering, compare volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, and liquid viscosity and chemistry. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Laboratory Capillary Tubes formats, specifications and compatibility
These tubes rely on capillary action, where the surface tension of the liquid and the adhesion between the liquid and the glass walls naturally pull the fluid upward into the tube. For routine and specialised work, assess accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Applications for Hirschmann Ringcaps
Ringcaps are disposable capillary pipettes used for the precise intake and delivery of very small liquid volumes, typically in clinical chemistry, hematology, and medical diagnostics. For routine and specialised work, assess liquid viscosity and chemistry, wetted materials, and connection size. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Laboratory Capillary Tubes workflow compatibility
This part of the range covers practical options for capillary tubes where laboratories need to adapt the product to different samples, workloads or operating conditions. Key differences are usually found in wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
