ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

The Alphanumeric code corresponds with the position of the tube in the rack (e.g. A1). The code is therefore unique per rack. A 1D Barcode is the standard 'barcode' (type 128B). With a standard barcode the data that is stored can only be numerical (i.e. a series of numbers). The 2D Data-Matrix is an open 2D code and is laser-etched on the bottom of the tube. Both the 1D barcode and 2D Data-Matrix code can be customized.

Yes, several Micronic tubes are available in a tube trial pack. Please see an overview here...

This is a feature for Micronic Screw Cap tubes and accompanying racks. The ‘Twist-Lock’ feature prevents turning of the Screw Cap during (de)capping.

This is an option for Micronic internal thread tubes and it locks tubes into the wells in the rack to prevent sample loss from overturned racks.

Sample storage tubes with internal thread feature a single turn thread on the inside of the tube, ensuring an easy opening and closing of the tube. These tubse can be sealed with a screw cap or push cap. Sample storage tubes with external thread feature a triple start thread on the outside of the tube, ensuring optimal sealing quality. These tubes can also be sealed with a screw cap or push cap. Read more in our blog.

An inner U-bottom maximizes the working volume of tubes. An inner V-bottom maximizes sample recovery and gives the lowest dead volume.

The Micronic hybrid tubes are tubes with two white side walls enabling 4 coding concepts. Samples can be identified with the 2D Data-Matrix, 1D barcode, numeric human readable code and by written codes on the white surface of the tube.

Yes, the name of the tube refers to the gross volume of the tube. The working volume (net volume) depends on the temperature in which the sample is stored in, the cap type that is used to seal the tubes with and the inside bottom of the tube.

The tubes can be ordered either in bulk or prefilled in racks. It is also possible to order the tubes precapped. Micronic labware is packed in air-tight bags in our certified class 7 clean rooms.

We offer sample storage tubes in formats ranging from 0.30ml to 6.00ml in 96-, 48- or 24-well format.

For the manufacturing of its long term sample storage labware products Micronic uses solely virgin plastic raw material. For the tubes this material is Poloypropylene (PP).
