Sample storage tubes

Datamatrix technology for sample tracking

Request offer Benefits at a glance

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

Barcode data matrix

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).

Choose the best solution for each application

Tube configuration

  • External threaded cap to maximize usable volume and reduce risk of contamination
  • Internal threaded cap for better sealing, preferred for cryopreservation
  • Pressure caps the most economical and quickest to use, disposable, recommended down to -20°C
  • Cap color wide range available to visually identify type of material stored
  • Optional 1D and Human readable code (replicate 2D datamatrix) to facilitate sample identification
  • Volume and diameter from 0.25ml to 12ml, specific for liquids, tissues or other solid sample

Selected brands for quality assurance and wide offerings
