Cryo.s biobanking tubes from Greiner Bio-One, Monroe, NC, offer high-throughput sample storage for automated storage systems. The new tubes are 30% shorter than standard cryo tubes to optimize space in freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks. They are available in volumes of 300 ?l, 600 ?l, and 1000 ?l, and are supplied in ANSI/SLAS 1-2004 standard footprint racks. The tubes and racks are optimized for automated laboratory equipment, such as decappers, liquid handling systems, and automated storage systems. A unique datamatrix code on each tube provides machine-assisted, error-proof identification of each individual sample. Materials include medical-grade polymer with low leachables content and a screw cap with a silicon gasket to enable long-term, low-temperature storage and minimize sample contamination and loss.
