Glass Capillary Tube: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.103 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.095 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.103 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.095 |
What moves the price
For glass capillary tube, the drivers are length, width, thickness, pressure rating, temperature rating, glass type, edge finish, diameter — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing wholesale pricing is strongest at 1,000-unit pack levels from laboratory distributors, with VWR/Globe Scientific at about $94.81–$103.06 per 1,000 and StonyLab at about $37.59 per 1,000 for a smaller 100 mm capillary SKU; these imply roughly $0.038–$0.103 per unit at low-volume wholesale. For larger industrial or custom-made routes, Made-in-China supplier listings show much lower FOB-equivalent piece pricing for capillary glass tubes, including about $0.013–$0.60 per piece at 1,000-piece MOQ and about $0.20 per piece at 3,000-piece MOQ, but these are broader glass-tube listings and not always the same medical/lab spec. The realistic price drivers are ID/OD, length, wall thickness, borosilicate vs quartz, and whether the tube is heparinized or plain; custom printing or sterile packaging typically pushes cost upward, while commodity plain borosilicate capillaries from trade suppliers are the cheapest route.
