With the Micronic 3.50ml tissue storage tube, Micronic enables biobanks to standardize and automate the storage of fresh frozen tissue samples in the same way as their liquid samples. The tubes are available in a 1D barcoded Micronic ULT rack based on the automation-friendly ANSI/SLAS rack format, and provided with a 2D code for complete traceability. The tubes are optionally available with a transparent cap, for easy visual checking of the enclosed tissue sample from above.
The Micronic 3.50ml tissue storage tube with external thread is specially designed for the storage of your valuable fresh frozen tissue. The 3.50ml tube can store samples with a maximum size of 0.95 x 0.95 x 2.40 cm. A wide shallow opening enables easy loading and removal of tissue samples using tweezers. In addition to storage, the flat bottomed tubes can also be used for secure transportation of tissue samples.
Micronic labware is manufactured and assembled in-house in a NEN-EN-ISO14644-1 Class 7 certified clean room environment (which is comparable to the US Federal Standard 209E Class 10,000).
For the manufacturing of its long term sample storage labware products Micronic uses solely virgin plastic raw material. The raw materials and auxiliary agents are selected based on the specifications that satisfy the high quality requirements of our products. The materials are FDA approved and comply with the (USA) USP XXII tests, including class VI (Medical approved), and the European Pharmacopoeia-monograph 3.2.2 unless communicated otherwise. Material components used to produce Micronic labware can be traced via the lot number indicated on the packaging.
The materials used for Micronic tubes are the result of extensive research. One selection criterion is that the amount of measurable extractables leaching into samples is minimized.
By maintaining the highest possible hygiene level during our production processes, Micronic manufactured labware is free of any detectable RNase or DNase contamination and the endotoxin level of produced and packaged labware is limited to an acceptable minimum (< 0.01 EU/ml). Our products are periodically tested on RNase, DNase and their endotoxin levels by independent expert organizations.
The Micronic 2D Data-Matrix codes and 1D barcodes are produced conform industry standards. The 2D Data-Matrix code (which adheres to the ECC200 standard) and 1D barcode (type 128B) are laser-etched into the code area and are guaranteed unique.
Products produced by Micronic are tested according to AQL inspection level G2 and AQL value 0.4.
Micronic Sample Storage tubes are classified as general laboratory products according to leading European Life Science Organizations (GAMBICA, FHI, LABMAS, Laborama, SPECTARIS). More information can be found here.
Upon request, Micronic products can be supplied gamma irradiated or ethylene oxide treated.
Our products comply with the IATA requirements for the transport of diagnostic specimens (UN packing instruction 602 and 650), assuming that our products are properly used (closed).

The Micronic 3.50ml tissue tubes with external thread are manufactured using a unique injection molding technique, the black code surface with 2D Data-Matrix code cannot be separated from the transparent tube. This ensures the absolute traceability of tissue samples. The tissue tubes are compatible with the Micronic Ultra-Low Temperature Rack Range in the industry standard ANSI/SLAS format and automated systems.
The tissue tubes are designed for the storage and transportation of fresh frozen tissue samples. The wide shallow opening and flat bottom of the tubes enable easy loading / removal of tissue samples using tweezers. Using externally threaded tubes for tissue storage eliminates the possibility of the sample coming into contact with the screw thread, greatly reducing the chance of cross-contamination while improving sample integrity.
