Summary: Azenta Life Sciences launched FluidX Tri-Coded Sample Tubes, designed to safeguard sample integrity with advanced traceability and compatibility across cryogenic storage systems and automated workflows.
Takeaways:
- Advanced Tri-Coding Technology: The FluidX Tri-Coded Sample Tubes feature permanently etched 2D codes, 1D barcodes, and human-readable numbers for enhanced sample tracking and data sharing.
- High Security Design: Externally threaded tubes prevent overtightening and offer a higher working volume compared to internal thread designs, ensuring superior sample protection.
- Automation Ready: These tubes are compatible with semi-automated and fully automated workflows, supporting efficient management in high-density storage environments.
Azenta Life Sciences’ new FluidX Tri-Coded Sample Tubes are designed to safeguard the integrity of samples and provide a lifelong secure chain of custody for samples in compound libraries, biobanks, and other cryogenic storage facilities.
The external thread design of this tube range is not only highly secure, and cannot be overtightened, but also offers significant benefits over internal thread caps including a higher working volume.
Sample Tube Capabilities
Benefiting from proprietary tri-coding technology, these externally threaded sample tubes offer greater sample audit traceability, enabling sample tracking and data sharing between multiple users, labs, locations, and automation capabilities. Permanently laser etched 2D code on base plus 1D linear barcode and human readable number on the side, ensures a permanent link between sample and data. Moreover, the high contrast 2D codes are readable without removing tubes from rack even in frost or condensation prone conditions. To assist management and tracking in modern high-density storage applications, these tubes are compatible with semi-automated or fully automated workflows on integrated platforms.
Manufactured from USP Class VI virgin polypropylene resin in a class 8 cleanroom facility, these storage tubes will protect your precious samples from contaminates. Every batch of FluidX external thread tri-coded storage tubes is rigorously tested to have no detectable extractables or leachables and are free of endotoxin, DNA/RNA, and heavy metals.
Designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind, these storage tubes perform without compromise in conjunction with automated code reading, capping, and sample management systems from Azenta Life Sciences and all other industry-recognized manufacturers.
Azenta provides a full suite of reliable cold-chain sample management solutions and multiomics services across areas such as drug development, clinical research and advanced cell therapies for the industry’s pharmaceutical, biotech, academic and healthcare institutions.
