Abgene 2D Barcoded Twist-Lock Storage Tubes

  Abgene 2D Barcoded Twist-Lock Storage Tubes



Thermo Scientific Abgene Twist-Lock storage tubes are ideal for sample collection and storage of precious samples, including DNA, blood, cell lines and tissue samples. A permanent 2D barcode is encapsulated onto the base of each tube to ensure safe, long term identification and tracking of samples. Complementary Thermo Scientific 2D barcode readers allow simple decoding and integration of 2D barcodes into spreadsheets, databases and existing tracking systems.

Offering the security of screw caps, combined with a more dense storage format than traditional tubes, these tubes enable more efficient storage and use with automatic decapping devices such as the Thermo Scientific Alto-8 for dramatic increases in sample handling.


   Product Detail


Abgene 2D barcoded twist-lock storage tubes are available in volumes of 500 µl or 1 ml, and are available in bulk or racked with or without twist-lock caps . Tubes are also available blank or with alphanumeric identification on each tube.


Benefits
  • 2D barcode is fully encapsulated behind an optically clear window to protect it against even the harshest conditions
  • Tubes are available in volumes of 0.5 ml or 1.0 ml, both capped or uncapped for increased sample throughput
  • One piece, twist-lock caps are molded out of a proprietary material for secure sealing reliability at cold temperatures
  • Patent pending internal thread design "locks in" with the cap in two distinct positions, providing robust 100% sealing down to -180 °C
  • V-shaped internal well design reduces dead volume and improves sample recovery
  • 8x12 microplate format racks ensure compact, efficient storage and multichannel sample access
  • Alphanumeric grid-referencing on rack and lid for simplified identification
  • Open bottom rack design for more efficient freezing and thawing
  • Interlocking feature prevents tubes from spinning in rack, making them compatible with manual and automated decapping tools
  • Broad temperature range of -180 °C to 120 °C


Secure Tracking
A unique 2D barcode is encapsulated onto the base of every Thermo Scientific Abgene 2D barcoded twist-lock storage tube to securely identify and track samples, even in the harshest of laboratory conditions. Instantly decode each tube's 2D barcode with the Thermo Scientific line of 2D barcode readers; scan the tube into any application or database, or integrate via various data export options-the choice is yours. Once sample data is stored, just scan the tube using the database "find" feature to instantly access sample information and identify the contents of each storage tube.

Hands-Free Decapping
Abgene twist-lock caps are easily applied and removed with matching locking features on the rack and tube, enabling easy handling and access using either manual or automated cap removal tools.

Enhanced Rack Format
Unlike traditional storage tubes or blocks, Abgene 2D barcoded twist-lock storage tubes are available in our specially-designed, stackable, microplatefootprint racks to save precious space in your freezer, refrigerator, compound store or on the bench top. With Grid Referenced lids for simple identification of tube location, the rack design not only enables multichannel pipette access, but is compatible with automated liquid handlers.

Advanced Cap Technology
Unique one-piece screw caps made of an advanced polymer, Abgene 2D barcoded twist-lock storage tubes protect against potential contamination and sample loss. Each cap features a unique dual seal that "locks in" with the cap in two distinct positions and a solid bottom to prevent liquid from entering the inside of the caps.

Automatic Cap Removal
Coupled with the Thermo Scientific ALTO-8 Screw Top Decapper, increase throughput by decapping and recapping an entire column of tubes at once.

Additional Tracking Options
In addition to the 2D barcode on each tube, Abgene twist-lock storage tubes are available blank or with alphanumeric identification molded into the bottom of each tube.

Stringent Quality Control
Every 2D barcoded storage tube is scanned to ensure readability and each code is checked against a full database of all previously assigned 2D codes to ensure zero duplicates across the entire line of Abgene 2D barcoded storage tubes. In addition, each lot of storage tubes is leak tested to ensure the integrity and security of samples.


Applications
  • Individual sample retrieval
  • Instant sample identification
  • Sample storage
  • Secure identification of archived samples
  • Secure shipping of samples
  • Storage of genomic samples, DMSO dissolved compounds
