Biobanking / / Sample storage tubes
Unique Data Matrix codes, pre-printed and integral to the bottom of each tube, resistant to mechanical and chemical stimuli, remain readable even when damaged up to 30%. The best cost-effective tracking method on the market.
Why choose datamatrix technology
The 2d code on the bottom of each tube corresponds to a unique, nonreplicable alphanumeric string. The extreme resistance to chemical and physical agents and the guarantee of inseparability between code and tube makes it a secure system for sample traceability, compatible with the most restrictive anonymization and certification requirements for biobanks.
The structure of the boxes allows in fractions of a second the simultaneous acquisition of codes and respective positions for all samples present (rack scanner required).

Selected brands for quality assurance and wide offerings
Virgin polypropylene tubing for medical use, inert with reduced retention of organic molecules, suitable for use from +37°C to -196°C. Cleanroom production, control certification for absence of DNA, RNA, DNase, RNase and endotoxins. Subjected to (optional) gamma ray/ethylene oxide sterilization process.
Cryogenic tubes with volumes from a minimum of 0.25ml to a maximum of 12ml are available in the catalog. In addition to standard models for storing liquid samples, specific designs are available, designed to make handling of tissue and other solid samples easy.
The quality and expertise of a historic brand
A well-known U.S. company that produces instruments, materials and software for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as well as the Life Science research sector. The collaboration with TwinHelix is focused on consumables and instrumentation for sample storage, especially data matrix tubes, which are particularly appreciated for their high contrast and 2d code printing technique.
The company in its history has made several mergers and acquisitions, the products distributed belong to the 3 brands: Matrix, Nunc and Abgene. The strengths are the historicity and spread of the brand as well as an extensive literature available to support Thermo Fisher Scientific branded products.
