Product Details

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 permanently laser etched 2D code and human readable number on tube base, allowing compatibility with low throughput manual, semi-automated or fully automated workflows on integrated platforms.

Key Features

Secure Sample Storage & Tracking
  • Next Generation manufacturing techniques
  • Made from high-quality virgin PP
  • Permanently laser etched 2D code on base and human readable number on the 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 either screw caps or TPE septum caps
  • Suitable for cryogenic storage*

*Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen

Capping Options

Screw caps

  • Automation friendly screw caps provide flexibility to use tubes across a range of industry-recognized automated tube handling platforms
  • Deforming compression seal is more effective than a silicone alternative
  • 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
  • Non-silicone seal means the cap can never be overtightened

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
