FluidX 48-Format, 1.9ml External Thread, Next-Gen Jacket, Tri-Coded Cryo Tube; 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
