96-Format, LowBase Rack, Compatible with 0.26ml 2D-coded Tube, 96-format, External Thread

96-Format, LowBase Rack; 10 racks; Compatible rack for 0.26ml 2D-coded Tube, 96-format, External Thread. The 0.26ml 2D-coded Tube, 96-format, External Thread 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.

Code readable without removing tubes from racks
Suitable for cryogenic storage
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.

Secure Sample Storage & Tracking:
Next Generation manufacturing techniques: clear with black area for own marking
Made from high-quality virgin PP
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
External thread tubes provide greater working volume than internal thread tubes
Suitable for sealing with screw caps or TPE septum caps
Suitable for cryogenic storage; Not for use in liquid phase nitrogen

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

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

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. Max. working volume (with screw cap): 0.26ml
Max. working volume (with septum cap): 0.23ml
