PolyE Polyethylene Tubing
Harvard Apparatus' PolyE polyethylene tubing is an excellent tubing
choice for a variety of applications requiring small ID or OD tubing. It
is available in both sterile and non-sterile packages. It can be used for
infusions, tracheotomies or other surgical operations in rodents from
mice to rabbits. Cross reference numbers to PE tubing is provided.
Blunt probe needles can be used with this tubing to make custom
cannulae. Information in the table will assist in needle selection. One
column lists the size of needle which will fit into the tubing while the
other column lists the size of needle through which each tubing size
will pass.
