Store valuable samples where 2D tracking is not required with high-density Thermo Scientific™ Matrix Blank and Alphanumeric Storage Tubes, offered in manual and automation-friendly racks. Visual identification of samples can be made using the alphanumeric code on the bottom of each tube, and the tubes are compatible with the full line of seals and capping equipment. Ideal for scaling up from microplate or DeepWell™ block sample storage.

Highest Quality

Matrix storage tubes are manufactured from medical grade virgin polypropylene
Tubes are 100% leak tested to ensure sample integrity and security
Tubes are validated to be free of DNA, DNAse, RNAse, PCR Inhibitors, endotoxins and cytotoxins

Superior Storage Rack Design

Unlike traditional storage tubes or blocks, Thermo Scientific Matrix blank and alphanumeric storage tubes are available in our specially designed, stackable, microplate-footprint Latch Racks of 96 tubes for individual sample, access and removal
The Latch Rack design enables multichannel pipette access and eliminates contamination risk with a lid that never touches the bench top when open
The Latch Rack is also compatible with automated liquid handling, as the lid can be lifted robotically for high-throughput applications

Clear Designations

Matrix alphanumeric storage tubes are clearly marked with high contrast printing on the base of each tube, designating their appropriate well location within a rack, for easy identification
Enhance ease of visual identification with colored SepraSeal capping options or labelling on the side of the tube using the ID Scribe instrument

Capping Options

Several sealing options are available, including the Thermo Scientific Matrix line of CapMats and CapStrips for sealing multiple tubes and the Thermo Scientific Matrix SepraSeal and DuraSeal capping systems for individual tube sealing, access and piercing
Applied with the Thermo Scientific SuperSealer, sealing is secure and consistent every time

Compatible with:

Capping systems, SepraSeals, Duraseals, SuperSealer, ID Scribe

Recommended for:

Individual sample retrieval; shipping samples; storage of DNA, compounds, or any other samples

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I store the Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes in standard 10x10 cryoboxes?

Yes, the Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes can be stored in standard cryoboxes. However, we do not carry 2D barcode readers capable of reading a full box of 2D barcodes in this storage format.

How do you prevent 2D barcode duplication during manufacturing and ensure quality control of the Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes?

The 2D barcode laser etching software includes algorithms that prevent the barcode generator from ever counting backwards, subsequently preventing the re-etching of any previously generated barcode. To verify the above procedure, several quality control checks are performed on the 2D barcodes including:
- Checking for light transmission through the barcode as light transmission will reduce readability
- Inspecting the barcode under magnification
- Reading the barcode on a full rack 2D barcode reader
- Checking the barcode against a database of previously etched 2D barcodes
As the above quality control steps are completed, defective storage tubes are discarded, replaced, and re-checked, ensuring that the 2D barcodes are 100% readable and have not been previously used. This quality control process is the reason why we cannot guarantee sequential 2D barcode printing within a single rack of 2D barcoded products.

Can the barcodes on the Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes be damaged by chemicals or by exposure to extreme temperatures?

The Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes have been subjected in-house to consecutive liquid nitrogen freeze-thaws followed by submersion in boiling water. These tests did not cause any damage to the 2D barcode.
The 2D barcodes are made of the same material as the storage tubes and are resistant to standard lab chemicals.
The 2D barcode has a built-in ECC200 error barcode correction, which ensures that a damaged barcode is still readable as long as less than 25% of the barcode is missing.
