Description
Individually packaged HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes keep each test sealed until the moment it is used. This listing supplies the 25-count boxes in a multi-box package for sites that test away from the main clinic or run low daily volumes. Sealed packaging protects shelf life where a vial would sit open for months.
- Individually sealed – each microcuvette stays packaged until its test
- 25 per box – a right-sized box for outreach and low-volume sites
- Room-temperature storage – 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C)
Individually Packaged Microcuvettes for Field and Low-Volume Use
The individually packaged format trades bulk access for protection: every microcuvette keeps its own sealed environment until sampling. That suits home-visit programs, mobile screening and satellite clinics where an opened vial would age before it empties. The cuvettes carry the same azidemethemoglobin chemistry and 10 µL capillary fill as the vial format. Results stay traceable to the HiCN-calibrated Hb 201 systems either way. Sites simply choose the format that matches their testing rhythm.
Features and Benefits
Design
- Matched chemistry – the same Hb 201 measurement chemistry as the vial format

Storage
- Unopened storage – 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C)
- 25 per box – smaller boxes suit distributed stocking points
- Field friendly – sealed units travel in kits and visit bags

Why Outreach Programs Pick the Sealed Format
A microcuvette that travels in a visit bag faces heat, dust and time that a bench vial never sees. Individual sealing keeps every unit in specification until its test, which is exactly what distributed testing needs.
- Shelf-life protection – sealed units do not age against an open-vial clock
- Right-sized stocking – 25-count boxes spread across sites without waste
- Same trusted results – identical chemistry and calibration as the vial format
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from the vial format?
The microcuvettes are the same, but each one is individually packaged instead of sharing a 200-count vial.
Which analyzers use them?
They fit the Hb 201+ and Hb 201 DM analyzers.
Do they need refrigeration?
No. They store at 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C) while sealed.
How many come in a box?
Each box holds 25 individually packaged microcuvettes, and this listing is sold as listed in its package configuration.
What sample do they take?
Each microcuvette fills with about 10 µL of capillary, venous or arterial whole blood.
