Biobank Uppsala has chosen the Micronic 0.50ml tubes for its blood fraction sample storage needs.
The sample storage tubes are designed to provide the medical facility with traceable, high integrity storage of serum and plasma fraction samples.
Maria Storgärds, project leader at Uppsala Biobank, commented: “The low profile of Micronic 96-tube storage racks and compact size of their 0.50ml 2D-coded tubes has allowed us to optimise use of our valuable freezer space and usefully is also fully automation compatible.”
The Micronic tubes are manufactured from medical grade polypropylene in a classified Class 7 cleanroom environment, ensuring near zero contaminants and RNase/ DNase free.
Micronic states the tubes can be autoclaved, repeatedly freeze-thawed and are also capable of withstanding gamma rays used in sterilisation.
Additionally, a unique 2D non-detachable code is laser etched to the base of each tube to provide a recordable means of identifying samples.
