FluidX Tri-Coded Next Gen Jacket 0.7ml Sample Storage Tube with External Thread

• Developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high-density storage applications
• Tri-Coded Jacket 0.7ml external thread tubes carry three unique and permanent high-contrast tube identifiers, 2D Code, Linear Barcode and a Human Readable Number (HRN)
• 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
• Designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind. FluidX tubes perform without compromise in conjunction with automated barcode reading, capping and sample management systems from FluidX and all other industry-recognised manufacturers

Secure Sample Storage and Tracking

• Unique and permanent 2D barcode laser-etched in high-contrast on tube base
• Barcode ensures a permanent link between sample and data
• High-contrast 2D barcodes are more reliably readable in frost or condensation conditions
• FluidX 2D barcodes can be scanned and decoded without removing tubes from storage racks, enabling data to be associated with individual tubes.
• Equally suitable for sealing with either screw caps or TPE septum caps
• External thread tubes provide greater working volume than internal thread tubes compared to same height internal thread tubes
• FluidX tubes have been leak tested to ensure sample security

Screw Caps

• Deforming compression seal is more effective than a silicone alternative
• Non-silicone seal means the cap can never be overtightened
• Cap and tube manufactured from the same material, preventing differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles
• Double-start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, facilitating automation

TPE Septum Caps

• Cost-effective sealing option for samples that are only accessed occasionally
• Septum caps are supplied in 96-format back mats to facilitate automation

96-Well Format SBS Racks

• TwistLock: prevents tubes rotating within the rack to enable automated capping and decapping of screw caps, provided as standard
• LidLock: racks fitted with a LidLock latch are designed to withstand a 1m drop test for added sample security 
• TubeLock: tubes can be locked in position in rack, even without a lid, prevents tubes falling out if rack is inverted, lock or unlock simply by pushing tube downwards or upwards
• Automatic Rack Orientation: racks are supplied with a unique 2D barcode identifier which can be read at the same time as the tube 2D barcode, to provide automatic rack orientation and more secure sample tracking
• Direct Laser Etching: linear barcodes are permanently laser etched directly onto racks
