Over 50 Years of Industry Experience
Plastech Group has been supplying specialised plastic medical tubes to the medical device industry for over 50 years and has successfully partnered with medical device companies all around the world.
We are the leading European supplier of printed co-extruded plastic burette tubes for intravenous infusion sets, which means you are guaranteed durable medical burettes designed for accuracy.
Infusion Set Burette Tubes
Plastech has developed a burette range for intravenous infusion sets in three interchangeable materials designed to suit your specific requirements and graduations. The graduations on each burette are printed to your exact specifications.
Attached to an interchangeable spring-loaded polypropylene clamp, PTFE stopcock, plug, or rods, our burettes make excellent labware that offers precision, accuracy, and consistency.
Plastech only supplies burette chambers. These are not supplied with a PTFE stopcock, clamps, rods, or any other components.

Standard & Custom Burette Tubes
Ready-Made
Our volumetric plastic burette is designed and calibrated according to universal specifications.
Our standard burette range is constructed of a damage-resistant plastic material and works well with a range of ABS end connector caps. Accessories such as stoppers are interchangeable with these tubes.
Depending on the material of your choice, you can order a burette that will be unaffected by dilute mineral acids and bases (except hydrofluoric acid, ammonium hydroxide, and similar acids).
Customised
We can extrude burettes that meet your exact requirements. From the graduations and packaging to the branding of the laboratory, our products can be made to suit your needs.
Wide Range of Applications
Our plastic burettes are used for a wide range of applications within a multitude of sectors. Our products are trusted by industry professionals in Scotland and other parts of the United Kingdom.
Plastech's burette medical devices are graduated plastic tubes that are used with a polypropylene valve or stopcock and spring-loaded clamps to deliver known volumes of liquid with high accuracy.
Our standard sized plastic burettes are generally used for patients who need small dosages, such as paediatric, heart, prostate or kidney patients. In such cases, a burette with a PTFE stopcock plug is used to deliver a fixed volume of IV fluid at a fixed rate, sometimes with added medication. This allows accuracy in the fine control of fluid volumes and prevents inadvertent over-transfusion.
Our burette chambers are compatible with most standard spring-loaded clamp and stopcock designs. They can also be used with standard rods.
Plastics & Materials for Every Purpose
Eco-Friendly PETG Plastic
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a thermoplastic that is known for its significant chemical resistance, durable nature, and formability for manufacturing.
It is one of the most commonly used polymers and, like polypropylene, it is 100% recyclable.
Medical Grade Plastic Materials
Along with our PETG range, we also do standard PVC and Cellulose Propionate plastic burettes. These are manufactured out of high-quality, industrial-strength plastic that can be used across a wide range of medical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications.
When compared with acrylic, PETG is more shatter-resistant and cost-effective. And when compared with polypropylene, PETG can be produced to be more optically clear and transparent.
Using this with a stopcock made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ensures that the stopcock supplies smooth transfer, high surface release, and nonstick properties.
Our tubes also work well with a single clamp or double clamp made from polypropylene or other materials.
Damage-Resistant Plastic
Our products will stand up to the daily bumps and occasional drops that typically occur in labs, making them a safer, less expensive alternative for delicate lab work.
You can eliminate the risks and costs associated with sharp edges and shattering glass by going for a shatterproof PVC burette — they are crystal clear and can hold various types of liquid.
A Plastic Burette in Every Size
Our standard cylinders come in two sizes, with a 50ml volume difference between the two: 100ml and 150ml. These sizes are more popular than 50ml tubes, as the higher capacity makes them more versatile.
Our two sizes have a 50ml volume difference to cater for various needs, but we can also customise the sizing to your liquid volume requirements. Whether you want 5ml or 50ml increments, we are able to do it.
We manufacture according to the standard diameter sizes for the apparatus to fit well with an ABS END CAP. They are available with or without graduation markings.
