CAPILLARY TUBES (HERPERNIZED & NON-HERPERNIZED)

Capillary tubes are slender, elongated glass tubes used in various scientific and medical applications to measure and handle small volumes of liquid. Hardened or “herpernized” capillary tubes are specially treated to increase their durability and resistance to breakage, making them ideal for precision work in laboratory settings. These tubes are typically made from high-quality borosilicate glass and are often used for tasks such as capillary action experiments, blood sample collection, and chromatography.

The internal diameter of capillary tubes is usually very small, allowing for precise control over liquid flow and measurement. Hardened capillary tubes come in various sizes and lengths to suit different applications, and they are frequently used in procedures requiring accurate volume measurement and sample handling. Their robustness and precision make them essential tools in scientific research and clinical diagnostics.
