Description
The HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes supply the Hb 201+ and Hb 201 DM analyzers in a 200-count vial format. This listing carries the vial package across the boxes a busy site orders at once, so screening programs do not run dry mid-week. The microcuvettes store at room temperature with a three-month open-vial stability.
- 200 per vial – the standard supply format for Hb 201 systems
- Room-temperature storage – 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C) unopened
- Three-month open-vial stability – opened vials stay in service for a full quarter
The Standard Consumable for Hb 201 Systems
Each microcuvette collects about 10 µL of capillary, venous or arterial blood by capillary action and carries the reagents for the azidemethemoglobin reaction the analyzers read. Vial packaging suits high-volume sites that test all day and want the next cuvette ready without opening individual wrappers. The chemistry and optical path are matched to the HiCN-traceable calibration of the Hb 201 family. Stocking the genuine consumable protects both accuracy and the audit trail behind reported results.

Why Vial Format Suits Busy Testing Sites
High-volume hemoglobin programs measure consumables by the week, not the test. The 200-count vial keeps a full screening session supplied from one container, and the three-month open-vial window matches real clinic usage.
- Session-ready supply – a single vial covers a full day of screening without restocking
- Accuracy protection – the genuine consumable preserves HiCN-traceable system performance
- Simple storage – room-temperature shelf storage, no refrigeration step
Frequently Asked Questions
Which analyzers use these microcuvettes?
They fit the Hb 201+ and Hb 201 DM analyzers. The Hb 801 system uses its own dedicated microcuvettes.
Do they need refrigeration?
No. Unopened vials store at 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C).
How long is an opened vial usable?
Opened vials carry a three-month stability window.
How many tests does one vial cover?
Each vial contains 200 microcuvettes, one per test.
