PRECISION BEHIND EVERY DIAGNOSIS
AND EVERY PERSON WHO DEPENDS ON IT.
We are an Argentine family-owned company and, since 1999, we have manufactured capillary tubes for in vitro diagnostics. We are the only Argentine manufacturer authorized by ANMAT.
In an instrument a diagnosis depends on, precision is not an adjective: it is the work itself, and it has to be flawless. That standard is how we understand quality, and it is why laboratories in Argentina and abroad have chosen us for more than two decades.
MISSION
To develop and produce diagnostic and healthcare solutions to high standards of quality, innovation and human commitment, contributing to the strengthening of the healthcare and scientific system. We seek to generate value through technology, continuous improvement and collaborative work, while also promoting regional development and domestic manufacturing with sustainable social impact.
VISION
To be a benchmark company in diagnostic product innovation in Argentina and Latin America, recognized for its excellence, its commitment to health and the development of proprietary technology, integrating science, industry and social responsibility with a contribution to sustainable development.
MANUFACTURING
A capillary tube looks like a simple object; manufacturing it with precision is not. We start from pharmaceutical-grade soda-lime glass, which is hot-drawn to the required diameter under continuous dimensional control of outer diameter, inner diameter and wall thickness. In the heparinized presentations, the inner wall is coated with pharmaceutical-grade USP sodium heparin. We are involved at every stage, from raw material selection to finished product, with defined procedures, trained personnel, batch-by-batch controls and full traceability, within the framework of Good Manufacturing Practices. We back every delivery with an unlimited no-charge replacement guarantee and technical support directly from the manufacturer: the confidence of a company that knows its products always meet specification. We produce at our own plant in Carpintería, San Luis, with permanent stock.

CAPILLARY SAMPLING
AN ALTERNATIVE TO ARTERIAL PUNCTURE
LESS INVASIVE, SAFER AND REPEATABLE FOR ACID-BASE ASSESSMENT
Acid-base status is usually determined on arterial blood, but obtaining it imposes concrete limitations. Arterial puncture must be performed by trained medical personnel, is painful and carries risks — hematoma, vascular injury — as well as causing anxiety and hyperventilation that can alter the result itself. These difficulties become more acute when acid-base monitoring requires serial sampling, where repeating the arterial puncture becomes unfeasible. The arterialized capillary sample requires a minimal amount of blood and can be repeated as many times as follow-up demands. It is most strongly indicated in neonates and infants — whose low total blood volume means repeated extraction can induce anemia — in obese and geriatric patients with difficult arterial access, and in burn and critically ill patients undergoing multiple checks. It is also the consumable that enables routine acid-base monitoring at the point of care.
