The FluidX External Thread Tri-Coded Sample Storage Tubes, manufactured in an ISO Class 6 production facility by Azenta Life Sciences, provide sample integrity, security, and audit traceability for valuable biological and chemical samples.
FluidX External Thread Tri-Coded Tubes provide a lifelong, secure chain of custody for samples in biobanks, compound libraries, and a range of biological and chemical stores, including cryogenic storage.
Developed to meet the demands of sample security and management in modern high-density storage applications, these tubes are compatible with low-throughput manual, semi-automated, or fully automated workflows on integrated platforms.
For sensitive biological samples, where maintaining integrity is critical, Axenta FluidX External Thread Tri-Coded Tubes provide one of the industry’s most secure sealing solutions. By placing the thread on the exterior of the tube, the design minimises the risk of sample contamination associated with internal-thread configurations, while maximising usable sample volume. Additionally, the external thread format delivers superior sealing performance and reliable sample protection during long-term storage and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
With three independent identification methods, FluidX Tri-Coded Tubes offer greater sample traceability and confidence. Each tube features a permanently laser-etched 2D code on the tube base, a human-readable numeric code, and a linear barcode, enabling rapid identification across manual, semi-automated, and fully automated workflows. This tri-code approach reduces the risk of sample misidentification while supporting efficient inventory management and sample tracking.
Laser-etched codes resist wear and damage, ensuring long-term traceability even in challenging storage environments. High-contrast code marking enables reliable scanning without removing tubes from racks, including under frost and condensation-prone conditions.
Made from high-grade virgin polypropylene, FluidX External Thread Tri-Coded Tubes are available in 96-format, 48-format, and 24-format SBS racks, plus a wide range of working volumes, from 0.2ml to 7.6ml, to suit almost any storage application.
