Sample integrity is foundational to successful multi-omics research, where even small variations in sample handling, storage conditions, or contamination risk can affect the quality of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other downstream data. Because multi-omics workflows depend on connecting insights across multiple biological layers, researchers need confidence that every sample remains stable, traceable, and protected from collection through long-term storage.
Thermo Scientific storage equipment and storage consumables help provide support by being designed to be reliable cold storage, organized sample management, and high-quality tubes, plates, and containers designed to preserve precious biological materials. Together, these solutions help laboratories reduce sample loss, maintain consistency across studies, and protect the integrity of samples that drive meaningful multi-omics discoveries.

|
Rapid identification of 2D-barcoded tubes before storage, retrieval, aliquoting, or downstream analysis |
Sample misidentification, manual transcription errors, and loss of chain-of-custody |
Decodes 2D tube barcodes in as little as one second, maintain traceability across complex workflows |
|
Automated capping and decapping of storage tube racks during sample access, processing, or re-archiving |
Contamination risk, inconsistent sealing, manual handling variability, and repetitive tube handling |
Provides an automated capping/decapping solution, helping reduce manual contact with samples while supporting more consistent access to stored materials. |
|
Sealing microplates used for assay setup, intermediate storage, transport, or downstream omics workflows |
Evaporation, contamination, cross-well exposure, and compromised plate storage |
Offers automated heat sealing for microwell plates used in experimentation, storage, and transportation |
|
High-throughput automated sample storage, tracking, and retrieval for large multi-omics sample sets |
Sample mix-ups, leakage, label failure, and automation incompatibility |
Matrix barcoded storage tubes are designed for automated systems, including liquid handlers and decappers, and include permanent 2D, 1D, and human-readable barcodes to support tracking efficiency and sample protection. |
|
Automated storage and handling of biological samples in 2D-barcoded tube workflows |
Traceability gaps, handling variability, and workflow inefficiency |
Compatible with automated identification and handling workflows, helping manage samples more consistently across high-throughput studies. |
|
Manual aliquoting, short- or long-term sample storage, and organized archiving for lower-throughput or flexible workflows |
Sample loss, leakage, contamination, and storage inconsistency |
Supports secure sample storage |
These solutions help protect sample integrity by improving traceability, reducing manual handling, supporting secure sealing, and enabling more consistent storage and retrieval across multi-omics workflows.
