Securely store and track samples in Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ Open-top tri-coded tubes.
- A permanently-bonded, unique 2D barcode is laser-etched onto the base of every Matrix™ 2D barcoded storage tube to securely identify and track samples
- Corresponding with a laboratory's throughput needs, Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™ 2D barcode readers instantly decode each tube's 2D barcode
- A range of VisionMate 2D barcode readers is available to meet your application and throughput needs
- Scan the tube into any application or database, or integrate via various methods
- VisionMate systems are flexible enough to allow 2D barcode data to be integrated into various applications, databases and automated systems
- Once sample data is stored, user can scan the tube with the database
- Tracking system includes a 'find' feature to instantly access sample information and identify the contents of each storage tube
Tubes feature permanent, high contrast 2D barcodes on the bottom, plus 1D linear barcodes with human readable text on the side. Tubes are available in bulk packs or in barcoded latch racks. Barcoded latch racks feature a linear barcode, 2D barcode and human readable rack identification on three sides of the rack. Use in combination with Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ SepraSeal and DurSeal capping systems and the Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™family of barcode readers.
Superior storage rack design:
Matrix™ 96-format 2D barcoded storage tubes are available in a proprietary specially-designed, stackable, microplate footprint
Latch racks save precious space in your freezer, refrigerator, compound store or on the bench top
The latch rack design enables manual multichannel pipette access to 2D tubes and eliminates contamination risk with lid design that does not contact the benchtop
The latch rack lid can be lifted robotically for 2D tube access with automated liquid handling systems and high throughput applications
Stringent quality control:
Every 2D barcoded storage tube is scanned to guarantee readability
Each code is checked against a full database of all previously assigned 2D codes to ensure zero duplicates across the entire line of Matrix™ 2D barcoded storage tubes
Storage tracking solutions for any laboratory:
Custom 2D coding options are available to meet your laboratory's individual database or tracking requirements
2D storage tubes are compatible with Thermo Scientific freezer racks that allow optimal utility of storage space
Recommended for:
Drug discovery, compound storage, secure sample transport, individual sample retrieval, instant sample identification, secure tracking of archived samples
