Matrix™ Open-Top Tubes in Barcoded Latch Racks

Securely store and track samples in Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ Open-Top tubes. Laser etching produces a permanent, high-contrast, 2D barcode on each tube, offering maximum reliability and traceability for chemical, biological, and genomic samples. 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.

Secure Tracking

• A unique 2D barcode is laser-etched onto the base of every polypropylene open-top tube to securely identify and track samples
• 2D barcodes are resistant to 100% DMSO, ideal for compound processing and storage
• Non-proprietary 2D codes can be scanned with the Thermo Scientific VisionMate family of barcode readers

Superior Storage Format

• ANSI-format latch racks maximize storage space and are compatible with multichannel manual pipettes or automated liquid handling equipment
• Barcoded latch racks include 1D and 2D barcodes, plus human readable text on three sides to provide added same traceability
• 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
• Tubes are available with a range of sealing options including Thermo Scientific SepraSeals and DuraSeals
• SepraSeals are available in a range of color options for visual categorization of samples
• Pre-Split SepraSeals allow for repeated sample access in automation
