- Each tube features a permanent 2D code laser etched in high contrast on the tube base, a permanent 1D linear barcode and human-readable number laser etched in high-contrast on the tube side. All three codes are identical and auditing processes guarantee all three codes match; standard 2D coding option is black on white.
- Designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind, the tubes perform without compromise in conjunction with automated barcode reading, capping and sample management systems from FluidX and all other industry-recognized manufacturers
- Provides a lifelong and secure chain of custody for samples in biobanks, compound libraries and a broad range of biological and chemical stores, including cryogenic storage
- Developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high density storage applications
- Each tube features a permanent 2D code laser etched in high contrast on the tube base, a permanent 1D linear barcode and human-readable number laser etched in high-contrast on the tube side
- All three codes are identical and auditing processes guarantee all three codes match; standard 2D coding option is black on white
- Manufactured using an advanced manufacturing process which results in a one piece jacket tube from high quality virgin polypropylene

Application and Workflow Flexibility
- Designed for maximum recovery of sample with capability to work with liquid handling robotics within an automated workflow or manual pipetting
- Automation friendly screw cap can be decapped/capped using automated instruments from Azenta as well as other manufacturers, enabling workflow scale up capabilities
- Ideal for use in biobanking, cell culture, ELISA, PCR, NGS as well as a myriad of applications for storage and liquid handling
Capping options
Screw caps
- A deforming compression seal more effective than a silicone alternative
- A non-silicone seal means the cap can never be over-tightened
- Caps and tubes are manufactured from the same material, preventing differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles
- A double-start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, thereby facilitating automation
Secure Sample Storage and Tracking
-
- Permanently laser etched 2D code on base, 1D linear barcode and human readable number on the side, ensuring a permanent link between sample and data
- 2D codes readable without removing tubes from racks
- High contrast 2D codes are more reliably readable in frost or condensation conditions
- 100% quality control, each tube is tested to ensure both readability and uniqueness
- Leak tested to ensure sample security
- External thread tubes provide greater working volume than internal thread tubes
- Suitable for cryogenic storage*
