Micronic has introduced a range of laser etched alphanumeric coded sample storage tubes.
The new tubes have a flat polypropylene bottom on which the alphanumeric code is encrypted with a laser.
They are offered in the 0.5ml, 0.75ml, 1.1ml and 1.4ml size range and are manufactured from a single component.
The code of Micronic laser encrypted alphanumeric codes cannot fade or peel off even when subjected to repeated handling, exposure to different solvents or multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
According to the company, because code clarity will remain unchanged throughout their lifetime - laser etched alphanumeric coded tubes offer the security of unmatched sample traceability.
Traditionally alphanumeric tubes, because of their lower pricing compared to 2D coded tubes, have been incorporated into many organisations standard operating procedures (SOP).
The laser etched alphanumeric tubes resist many organic solvents (DMSO, methanol, dichloromethane) and may be cleaned by autoclave.
