 H-Pette®
Dispenser
Until now, there was really no
alternative to differential slide preparation but two
glass slides, a drop of blood from a capillary tube or
pipette and a technician's skilled hands.
Helena's new H-Pette offers a new approach to slide
preparation that eliminates the hazards of open tubes of
blood and cuts consumption of slides and transfer
pipettes. In addition to saving dollars on disposables,
increased efficiency and safety are key benefits.
Just insert the H-Pette into the stopper of any size
blood collection tube, invert tube and transfer the drop
of blood to a glass slide. Rotate the tube and use the
attached paddle to make your smears just as you would
with a slide. The H-Pette remains in place in the
stopper and is disposed with the tube as a biohazard. It
can also be easily removed if necessary.
H-Pette is available through Helena Laboratories, toll
free 800-231-5663.

Step 1. Place H-Pette’s
cannula in the center of the stopper of the collection
tube. Gently press until the cannula completely
penetrates the septum. The tube is now ready for use.
Caution: Cannula is sharp; care should be taken in
handling.

Step 2. Invert tube at an angle as shown (blade side up, if bladed). Gently press the round edge of the H-Pette to the glass slide to transfer sample to the slide. |

Step 3 for H-Pettes with Blade.
Rotate tube to turn paddle side down. Grasp the circular
disc as shown and use the paddle to make a smear just as
you would a glass slide. A 15-25° angle of incidence gives optimum results. H-Pette can be removed or disposed with the collection tube. |
