Key Features
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 same height internal thread tubes
- Suitable for sealing with screw caps
- Suitable for cryogenic storage as low as -80°C
Capping options
Screw caps
- For the screw cap seals of glass storage tubes a silicone sealing film is used for added security and reliability
- Customized PTFE inserts available as an option for aggressive chemicals
Racking options
24 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
