New 1.40ml tube with an external screw thread is the first in a range of new designs featuring an external thread, and will be available in May 2016. Using externally threaded tubes for sample storage eliminates the possibility of the sample coming into contact with the screw thread, which greatly reduces the chance of cross-contamination. Externally threaded tubes also allow for a higher volume of material to be stored inside, which means that sample tubes can hold more while occupying the same amount of storage space.
The externally threaded tubes are designed for long term as well as ultra-low temperature storage, and are compatible with automated systems. The tubes are produced in a certified class-7 clean room environment at facilities in both the Netherlands and the United States. The sample tubes are made using medical-approved polypropylene (CE-IVD) and are RNase/DNase and pyrogen free.
Due to the injection molding and assembly process used to produce the sample tubes, the black code surface cannot be separated from the transparent tube. The tube code surface also features a raised edge, which protects the available 2D data matrix code from accidental scratches. The 2D codes also have a human-readable code for additional identification. Micronic
