About This Item
ASTM E734 is the ASTM standard designation for the Standard Specification for Disposable Glass Blood Sample Capillary Tube (Microhematocrit). It addresses the basic product specification for a disposable glass capillary tube used to collect blood samples for microhematocrit-related handling. This matters because a clear specification helps support consistent product selection, quality control, and compliance-focused purchasing for laboratories and medical testing workflows.
ASTM E734 standard overview
The ASTM E734 standard provides a technical basis for evaluating a disposable glass blood sample capillary tube intended for microhematocrit use. As a specification, it typically focuses on the product characteristics that define acceptable manufacture and performance for this type of tube. Buyers, laboratories, and suppliers may use it as a reference point when comparing products, confirming conformity, and maintaining consistency in procurement and testing-related applications. ASTM E734 helps align expectations around a common disposable glass capillary tube format.
Where is ASTM E734 used?
ASTM E734 is commonly relevant in laboratory and clinical sample-handling settings where disposable glass capillary tubes are used for blood collection or microhematocrit procedures. It may be applied during purchasing, receiving inspection, and product qualification when a facility needs a standardized tube type for routine sample preparation. The standard is most useful where consistent tube specifications matter for repeatable handling and compatibility with established microhematocrit workflows and related equipment or analysis steps.
Practical importance of ASTM E734
In practice, ASTM E734 supports consistency when selecting disposable glass blood sample capillary tubes. It can help reduce ambiguity in procurement by giving buyers a clear standards reference for product specification. That is valuable for quality control, supplier comparison, and internal compliance checks. For laboratories, using a recognized ASTM standard may also simplify documentation and help ensure that purchased tubes match the intended microhematocrit application and expected performance characteristics.
