1.9ml Tri-coded Tube, 48-format, External Thread; available capped or uncapped, racked or 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

Capping options

Screw caps

• A deforming compression seal more effective than a silicone alternative
• A non-silicone seal means the cap can never be over-tightened
• Caps and tubes are manufactured from the same material, preventing differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles
• A double-start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, thereby 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 PC cryobox rack option available for cryogenic sample storage, holding 81 tubes in 9x9 array
• Alternatively, 136.2mm x 136.2mm PC cryobox rack option available for cryogenic sample storage, holding 100 tubes in 10x10 array
• Open bottom for 2D code decoding on FluidX Perception HD LF reader
• 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
