• 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
• Suitable for sealing with automation friendly screw caps
• Suitable for cryogenic storage*

^{*Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen}

Capping options

Screw caps

• Automation friendly co-molded screw caps for internal thread tubes eliminate the possibility of over tightening
• Co-molded caps eliminate the failures in caps using a silicone O-ring
• Double start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, facilitating automation

Racking options

48 format SBS racks

• TwistLock: prevents the automated capping/de-capping; provided as standard, but can be removed
• 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

Cryo racks

• 136.2mm x 136.2mm PP cryobox rack option available for cryogenic sample storage, holding 81 tubes in 9x9 array
• Alternatively, 136.2mm x 136.2mm PP cryobox rack option available for cryogenic sample storage, holding 100 tubes in 10x10 array
