Safe and distinct sample ID is key for successful results in the lab. The new Eppendorf SafeCode system enables a safe sample vial tracking from the bench to the longterm storage in the ULT freezer.

SafeCode is based on a multi-level coding of the CryoStorage Vials for sample storage. The coding can be read by the Eppendorf RackScan instrument or any handheld datamatrix scanner.

Enforced by documentation files related to the specific CryoStorage Vial, the sample ID can automatically be transferred into the suitable Eppendorf software for sample location documentation as well as for process documentation.

Eppendorf CryoStorage Vials are available in different volume classes. The pre-racked and pre-capped vials are offered in different purity levels.

The SafeCode system is enhanced by the CryoCube® F740 ULT freezers, VisioNize® freezer notification/ monitoring applications as well as the eLABJournal software as further new building blocks for a smart storage solution of valuable samples.
