Product Details

Offers unequaled sample audit traceability, enabling sample tracking and data sharing between multiple users, labs, locations and automation capabilities. 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 Azenta Life Sciences 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.

Key Features

Secure Sample Storage & Tracking

Next Generation manufacturing techniques
Made from high-quality virgin PP
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
Suitable for sealing with screw caps or TPE septum caps
Suitable for cryogenic storage*

*Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen

Capping Options

Screw caps

Co-molded screw caps for internal thread tubes eliminate the possibility of over tightening
Co-molded caps eliminate the failures common in caps using silicon O-rings
Improved internal thread provides a more secure seal when using screw caps

TPE septum caps

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

Cryo racks

136.2mm x 136.2mm PC cryobox rack option available for cryogenic sample storage, holding 196 tubes in 14×14 array
Open bottom for 2D code decoding on Azenta Life Sciences Camera-Based Full Rack Barcode Readers
Can be supplied with a unique 2D code identifier which can be read at the same time as the tube 2D code, for more secure sample tracking
