The LW Scientific Hematocrit Reader Card is a quick and reliable tool for accurately determining packed cell volume (PCV) following microhematocrit centrifugation. Designed for convenience and precision, this durable reader card provides an easy-to-use reference scale for reading microcapillary tubes, making it ideal for clinical, research, and veterinary settings.

Overview

After centrifugation, capillary tubes are placed directly on the reader card to determine hematocrit values based on the length of the red cell column relative to the total blood column. The card features a printed scale that eliminates the guesswork involved in manual measurements. Lightweight, reusable, and easy to sanitize, the hematocrit reader card is an essential tool for labs performing frequent hematology testing.
