1.2. Cryo.s with Datamatrix

Cryo.s with Datamatrix are for storage of tissue, cells, fungi, bacteria, spores, cellular extracts or body fluids at ultra-low temperature for research and development as well as diagnostic purposes. Cryo.s with Datamatrix are suitable for storage in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen.

• Choose between 1, 2 and 4 ml working volume
• Store 48 tubes per rack with ANSI/SLAS footprint or 81 tubes on a footprint of 133 mm x 133 mm
• CE marked (CE/IVD)

1.3. Cryo.s Biobanking Tubes

Cryo.s Biobanking tubes are for storage of tissue, cells, fungi, bacteria, spores, cellular extracts or body fluids at ultra-low temperature for research and development purposes in a very compact and automation friendly format. Cryo.s Biobanking tubes are suitable for storage in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen.

• Choose between 235, 580 and 975 μl working volume
• Store 96 tubes per rack with ANSI/SLAS footprint in a very space efficient manner
• Take advantage of more than 30 % higher storage space efficiency as compared to other 96way cryo tube formats
• Cost-efficient and user-friendly decapping solution available: Cryo.s Handheld Decapper

 2. Datamatrix Code

• Long-lasting, machine-readable tube identification due to chemical-resistant and abrasion-proof datamatrix code on tube bottom
• Minimised risk of code-misreading due to best in class datamatrix quality
• Maximum flexibility of code sequences:
  • ‘Off-the-shelf’ ordering option with unique code on individual tubes or
  • Customized sequence option with individualized tube IDs encoded in datamatrix codes on tubes

3. Racks
