What are Microhaematocrit Tubes?
Also called Microhematocrit Tubes, taken from the Merriam Webster Dictionary definition, the word “Microhematocrit” means:
“A procedure for determining the ratio of the volume of packed red blood cells to the volume of whole blood by centrifuging a minute quantity of blood in a capillary tube coated with heparin.”
The tubes are simply the devices used in the above procedure.
