Enable safe, secure tracking of your precious samples with Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ 2D Barcoded 12mL Screw-top Storage Tubes, the perfect solution for large-volume storage, including clinical samples, powders, tissue and plant materials. Our team has a strong reputation for supporting both equipment and consumables and can demonstrate simple ways to improve efficiency and track samples in your laboratory using our entire range of Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes and barcode readers.

Secure Tracking:

Laser-etched 2D barcode on the bottom of each tube allows you to scan and decode tubes at once without removing them from the rack. It also allows data to be associated with each tube.
Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™ Lite or VisionMate Wireless can be used to read single tubes, or the VisionMate HighSpeed can be used to decode an entire rack of tubes instantly.
Tube can be scanned into a database or tracking system or integrate via ActiveX technology.

Superior Storage Format:

Supplied in microplate footprint rack to store more samples in less freezer space
Compatibile with Matrix Electronic EXP Pipettes
Locking rack lid for secure storage of samples
Rack base and tube design to prevent the tube from spinning in the rack when decapping
Solid, one-piece construction that enables storage down to cryogenic temperatures

Stringent Quality Control:

Every 2D barcode is scanned for readability and checked against a full database of all previous 2D barcodes to ensure there are zero duplicates across the entire Thermo Scientific Matrix line of storage tubes.
Each tube is 100% leak tested to ensure tube integrity and sample security.
Built-in error correction ensures that barcodes will never be misread.
All tubes are supplied free from DNA, RNase, DNase, PCR Inhibitors, endotoxins and cytotoxins

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.
