4.2.4 Hematek Pump Tube Set
A pump tube is displayed in Figure 4-16.
The Hematek Pump Tube Set consists of three tubes, each labeled with an
identifying number specific to the fluid carried by the tube:
• 1 for stain
• 2 for buffer
• 3 for rinse
Each tube has a clear plastic cuff that fits snugly up to the pump arm and
holds the tube in position to prevent slippage. Each tube is a specific
diameter and length to ensure precise measurement of the fluids. The tubes
are made of a special type of rubber that is resistant to leaching and
brittleness.

An underplaten tube is displayed in Figure 4-17.
The Hematek Underplaten Tubing Set consists of three underplaten tubes
of equal diameter and length.
