The perfect solution for samples in DMSO, chlorinated solvents and other harsh chemicals and applications where newly-synthesized compounds need to be dried-down or lyophylized and subsequently resolubilized by hand or via automation. Whatever the application, permanently attached 2D barcodes enable safe, secure tracking of precious samples.
Permanently attached, laser-etched 2D barcode on bottom of each tube allows you to scan and decode tubes at once without removing them from the rack, and allows data to be associated with each tube.
Glass and ceramic materials allow for storage of samples that cannot be stored in traditional tubes, such as chlorinated solvents, aromatics and harsh acids.
Tube top designed to fit snugly with DuraSeals or SepraSeals, even during cold storage and incubation.
8x12 format enables the filling of 8, 12, or 96 tubes at once with pipettes you already own
Built-in error correction ensures that barcodes will never be misread.
Tubes come in Latch Rack for added security and protection of samples.
100% quality control checks that every code is unique and readable
Solid, one-piece construction means there are no labels to fall off; enables use in temperature ranges from -200 C to depyrogenation.
Secure Tracking Matrix 2D barcoded storage tubes are supplied with permanent 2D barcodes on the base of each tube to track samples securely within the laboratory. Utilize a simple VisionMate Lite or VisionMate Wireless to read single tubes, or the VisionMate Flatbed and VisionMate HighSpeed for higher throughput operations. Scan the tube into any application, or integrate via ActiveX technology - the choice is yours.
Superior Tube Design and Storage Format The V bottom tube design ensures maximum sample recovery and allows for easy vortexing to resolubilize samples. The tube top is designed to hold caps securely in place during heating and cooling. The permanently laser-etched ceramic 2D barcode can withstand temperatures from VPLN storage to depyrogenation and chemicals from DMSO to concentrated HCl, as well as, sonication and UV light exposure without any change in barcode readability. And unlike traditional glass vials and tubes, Matrix glass storage tubes are supplied in our microplate footprint Latch Rack of 96 tubes/rack to store more samples in less space and provide compatibility with traditional mutichannel pipettes and automated liquid handlers.
100% Quality Control Every 2D barcode is scanned for readability and checked against a full database of all previous 2D barcodes to ensure there are never duplicates across the entire line of Matrix 2D barcoded storage tubes.
