Our Standards

Product Quality Information

Micronic operates corporate integrated Quality Management System (QMS) that is certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Reducing our impact on the environment is an integral part of our continuous improvement efforts. The environmental policy of Micronic is determined by our headquarters in the Netherlands, which is certified to ISO 14001:2015.

Certified Class 7 clean room

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).

Virgin material and approvals

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.

Extractables

The materials used for Micronic tubes are the result of extensive research. One selection criteria is that no measurable amount of extractables should leach into samples.

RNase, DNase and endotoxin (pyrogen)

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.

Laser-etched codes

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.

Product quality control

Products produced by Micronic are tested according to AQL inspection level G2 and AQL value 0.4.

CE marking

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.

Sterilization

Upon request, Micronic products can be supplied gamma irradiated or ethylene oxide treated.

IATA

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).

If you have any additional questions on the quality and safety of our products, please feel free to contact Micronic at sales@micronic.com.

Our solutions

Tubes for Light Sensitive Samples

Amber tubes are designed from special amber colored material (sample remains visible) to eliminate sample degradation by exposure to light. The wavelength absorbtion or blocking: 190-400nm (ultraviolet). Examples of analytes that are light sensitive and can therefore be perfectly stored in the Amber tubes: Bilirubin, Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin or Carotene.

For specifications of the Amber tubes in 0.75ml, look here.
For specifications of the Amber tubes in 1.40ml, look here.

Coding options

Available Non-coded or with unique laser etched 2D Data-Matrix code (adhere to the ECC200 standard) on the tube bottom, 2D codes also have a human-readable code

100% Quality control

100% quality control on all 2D codes (readability and uniqueness)

Patented technique

Black code surface cannot be separated from the transparent tube due to the patented 2K injection molding technique

RNase/DNase/Pyrogens

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)

Class 7 clean room

Micronic labware is manufactured and assembled in-house in a NEN-EN-ISO14644-1 Class 7 certified clean room environment

“We used the 6.00ml externally threaded tubes with 2D Data-Matrix code on the bottom. It was critical for us to have a good sample ID, so the 2D Data-Matrix code on the bottom and the 1D Rack barcode helped us to keep good track of our samples.”

"We are very happy with the tubes of Micronic, it is truly more efficient and space saving than we had in the past. Next to that, the fact that the tube positions are laser-etched in the rack itself is very helpful. We always know where the A1 tube is located."
