To help counter this, ABgene®, a leading provider of molecular biology reagents, plastic consumables and instrumentation, launches the latest additions to their SmartScan™ biostorage range, the 2ml 2D CryoCodeTM tube and also the smaller 0.3ml SmartScan tube, available loose or in racks.
The 2D barcoded tubes are moulded from virgin polypropylene and manufactured on site at ABgene’s own ISO 9000 cleanroom facility. All tubes feature the SmartScan 2D bar coding system, which facilitates the automatic tracking and identification of samples. With over 3.6 quadrillion unique codes available, the codes are laser etched and encapsulated into the base of each tube, using a patented technique to prevent the possibility of damage from chemical and physical resistance, or from abrasion. Any of these factors could cause the code to be lost. HIBCC coded versions of the tubes are also available.
The tubes and racks form part of ABgene’s complete biostorage suite of products, which includes the new automated cap application and removal device, ALTO-8TM, and the SmartScan range of racks, caps, and readers. * Figure based on The 2002 Phortech Survey on Global Laboratory Product Usage, which cited the number of Life Science Researchers as 356,000.
