Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world
leader in serving science, today introduced new Thermo Scientific Matrix Amber
2D barcoded tubes, expanding its sizeable sample storage product portfolio to
offer protection of light-sensitive samples.
Available in 0.5 and 1.0 mL sizes, these sterile, DNase/RNase-free tubes are
composed of Virgin Class IV Medical Grade Polypropylene with added amber color
to safeguard samples from potentially detrimental ultraviolet (UV) light
while still allowing users to gauge liquid levels inside the tube.
Additionally, standard red caps prevent auto-luminescence and allow
significantly less light penetration than white or clear caps. Designed in-line
with the existing portfolio of Matrix
® 2D tubes, each Matrix Amber
tube is fully compatible with 2D barcode readers, handheld de-cappers, freezer
racks and automated instruments, allowing users to easily integrate them with
existing equipment.
Each Thermo Scientific Matrix Amber 2D
barcoded tube effectively blocks specific wavelengths of light, maintaining the
integrity of samples that can be degraded by UV frequencies. In addition, the
innovative 2D barcoding technology ensures that sample storage and tracking are
performed with ease. Permanently etching a unique barcode onto the tube base
means the codes will never fall off. The high-contrast etching ensures that
they can even be accurately read following long-term cold storage.
In combination with the new line of Matrix
Amber 2D barcoded tubes, Thermo Fisher offers a complete portfolio of sample
storage and tracking equipment, including the Thermo Scientific Visionmate 2D
barcode reader, Capit-All
TM automated capper/decapper, handheld 8-channel
decapper and a host of cold storage options.
