- 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
- Each tube carries a unique and permanent high-contrast 2D code tube identifier on the base of the tube readable in frost or condensation conditions, or when damaged
- Manufactured from high-quality virgin polypropylene
Secure sample storage and tracking
- Permanently laser etched 2D code on base, 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 sealing with screw caps
- Suitable for cryogenic storage (Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen)
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
Racking options
96 format SBS racks
- TwistLock: prevents tubes rotating within the rack to enable automated capping and de-capping of screw caps; provided as standard with the option available to remove
- TubeLock: prevents tubes from falling out, even in lidless racks; useful in manual workflows; activate by applying pressure on the tube top, clicking it into place; tubes can be ordered pre-locked or non-locked
- LidLock: enables racks to withstand a 1m drop test for added sample security
- Automatic rack orientation: a unique 2D code rack identifier readable at the same time as the tube 2D code; for automatic rack orientation and secure sample tracking
- Direct laser etching: a cutout window on the rack sides allow the linear barcode to be read more easily; linear barcodes can be laser etched directly onto racks
