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 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
Manufactured using an advanced manufacturing process which results in a one piece tube from high quality virgin polypropylen

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

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

96 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 196 tubes in 14x14 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
