Azenta Life Sciences 2D coded tubes provide 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

• Next Generation manufacturing techniques: clear with black area for own marking
• Code readable without removing tubes from racks
• Suitable for cryogenic storage
• Made from high-quality virgin PP
• Available in 96-well format SBS racks or bulk
• Sealable with screw caps/TPE septum caps

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.

Each tube carries a unique and permanent high-contrast 2D code tube identifier on the base of the tube readable in frost or condensation conditions, or when damaged. Manufactured from high-quality virgin polypropylene.

Key Features:

Secure Sample Storage & Tracking:

• Permanently laser etched 2D code on 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
• Suitable for sealing with screw caps or TPE septum caps
• Suitable for cryogenic storage*

*Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen

Capping Options:

Screw caps:

• Co-molded screw caps for internal thread tubes eliminate the possibility of over tightening
• Co-molded caps eliminate the failures common in caps using silicon O-rings
• Improved internal thread provides a more secure seal when using screw caps

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 14x14 array
• Open bottom for 2D code decoding on Azenta Life Sciences Camera-Based Full Rack Barcode
• 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
