Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ 2D Barcoded Open-Top Storage Tubes in 384-Tube Format

Description

Maximize your storage capacity with our higher-density 384 storage tube format. An entire rack of the Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ 0.1mL tubes can be sealed by applying a foil-adhesive seal. Store the sealed tubes in the same freezer racks you would use for standard microplates. The proprietary barcoding process produces a permanent, high-contrast 2D barcode offering maximum reliability and traceability of compound, biological and genomic samples. (Note: We no longer sell a Sample Seal Heat Sealer).

Tracking:

• A permanently-bonded, unique 2D barcode is laser-etched onto the base of every Matrix 0.1mL 2D barcoded storage tube to securely identify and track samples
• Corresponding with a laboratory's throughput needs, Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™ 2D barcode readers instantly decode each tube's 2D barcode
• A range of VisionMate 2D barcode readers are available to meet your application and throughput needs
• Scan the tube into any application or database, or integrate via various methods
• VisionMate systems are flexible enough to allow 2D barcode data to be integrated into various applications, databases and automated systems
• Once sample data is stored, user can scan the tube with the database
• Tracking system includes a “find” feature to instantly access sample information and identify the contents of each storage tube

Superior Storage Rack Design:

• Matrix 384-format 2D barcoded storage tubes are available in a proprietary specially-designed microplate footprint
• Low-profile rack saves precious space in your freezer, refrigerator, compound store or on the bench top
• The low-profile rack allows for 2D tube access with automated liquid handling systems and high throughput applications

Stringent Quality Control:

• Every 2D barcoded storage tube is scanned to guarantee readability
• Each code is checked against a full database of all previously assigned 2D codes to ensure zero duplicates across the entire line of Matrix 2D barcoded storage tubes
• Every storage tube is leak tested to ensure the integrity and security of samples
• Tubes are validated to be free of DNA, DNAse, RNAse, PCR Inhibitors, endotoxins and cytotoxins

Storage Tracking Solutions for any Laboratory:

• Custom 2D coding options are available to meet your laboratory's individual database or tracking requirements
• 2D storage tubes are compatible with Thermo Scientific freezer racks that allow optimal utilization of storage space
