Anticipating increased demand, Micronic has launched 1.10ml tubes with external thread, eliminating the possibility of the sample coming into contact with the screw thread – and therefore minimising the chance of cross-contamination while improving sample integrity.
The 1.10ml tube with external thread capped with a screw cap has the same height as a Micronic 1.40ml tube with internal thread capped with a push cap, making it suitable for users who want to switch to an externally threaded screw cap tube.
The external threaded tubes are designed with thick tube walls for long-term sample storage and can be used to store samples down to -80°C. The working volume of the 1.10ml tube is at room temperature (+21°C) is 0.93ml.
The tubes are provided with 2D Data-Matrix codes as standard. The codes are permanently laser-etched onto an inseparable black code surface on the bottom of each tube. Because the codes can never wear or fall off the tubes, absolute sample traceability is guaranteed. The 2D codes also have a human-readable code for additional verification. The triple thread of the tubes gives an excellent closure and horizontal placement of the cap to ensure long-term sample preservation and storage.
Micronic’s products are produced in a certified class-7 clean room environment at facilities in both the Netherlands and the United States. The company’s labware equipment is also assembled in-house. The tubes are available for purchase in bulk or in a Micronic 96-3 ULT Rack. To order, contact sales@micronic.com or call your local Micronic sales office: http://www.micronic.com/contact.
