Wheaton has introduced the Biobanking Solutions Guide, a publication that compiles the company's products and customised services for cryogenic samples and projects.
The guide was created as a tool to aid researchers in making their jobs easier and more efficient when storing and accessing irreplaceable biological samples.
Focusing on the key areas of sample containment, sample traceability, processing tools and batching and storing, the Biobanking Solutions Guide highlights new products designed and developed specifically for biological sample management.
Wheaton products featured include the Singlescan barcode reader, a 2D data matrix and a 1D linear barcode reader capable of reading coded vials and ampules from a range of manufacturers and label printers.
Also featured are the Cryoelite cryogenic vials, which incorporate a cap seal that is claimed to exceed DOT and IATA regulations, thus ensuring the ultimate protection of samples during transportation and demanding freeze-thaw handling.
Cryoelite's Loctagon vial skirt provides stability in the freestanding position, providing easy open and close with one hand, and the optional 2D data-matrix barcode insert provides a unique identifier for traceability.
Additional products include the Keepit freezer boxes, made from Eastman Tritan, an environmentally friendly, Bisphenol-A (BPA)-free, shatter-resistant resin that offers the convenience of sample storage and a scanning capability in one box as well the Acura manual 826 XS micropipettes, specifically designed for the precision handling of precious samples in a controlled environment.
The Biobanking Solutions Guide also features technical data, links to relevant industry websites, best practices and a series of advantages and tips, such as the benefits of using the Wheaton colour-coding system for managing samples and projects.
