7.6ml Tri-coded Tube, 24-format, External Thread, 2D Code on base, 1D Linear Barcode and Human Readable Number on side, capped with Automation Friendly Screw Cap, bulk, 240 tubes per case; available capped or uncapped, bulk

• 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 FluidX 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
• Manufactured using an advanced manufacturing process which results in a one piece jacket tube from high quality virgin polypropylene

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 internal thread tubes
• Suitable for sealing with standard screw caps or automation friendly screw 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

Racking options

24 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
