Store samples securely at low temperatures, including vapor phase Liquid Nitrogen with Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ 500μL ScrewTop tubes. These tubes are molded from medical grade resins and feature a permanent, high contrast 2D barcode. Used in combination with Thermo Scientific™ VisionMate™ 2D barcode readers, manual and automated capping equipment, and labeling options, the 2D ScrewTop Tubes meet a range of manual and automated long term storage needs.

Dependable Sample Protection
  • Tubes are constructed of virgin class VI medical grade polypropylene
  • ScrewTop caps feature a soft silicone gasket that conforms to mating surfaces to ensure sample preservation
  • Racks are constructed of sturdy acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) to protect tubes in case of accidental dropping
  • ScrewTop Tubes are compatible with storage down to -176°C
Secure Tracking
  • Permanent, unique 2D barcode is laser-etched on the bottom of each tube
  • 2D barcode allows you to scan and decode tubes at once without removing them from the rack, and allows data to be associated with each tube
  • Compatible with our range of VisionMate readers
Superior Storage Format
  • ANSI-format latch racks maximize storage space and are compatible with multichannel manual pipettes or automated liquid handling equipment
  • Several capping / decapping options available to manipulate a single tube, 8 tubes, or 96 tubes at a time
Stringent Quality Control
  • Every 2D barcode is scanned for readability
  • Every 2D barcode is checked against the database of all previous Thermo Scientific 2D barcodes to ensure there are zero duplicates
  • Each tube is leak tested to ensure tube integrity and sample security
  • All tubes are supplied free from DNA, RNase, DNase, PCR Inhibitors, endotoxins and cytotoxins

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What are the main advantages of the Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage system?

Here are some advantages of the 2D barcoded storage system:
- Less time needed for labeling, sample recording, and retrieval
- Maximize freezer utilization while keeping storage space organised
- Ensures a safe, permanent ID of a sample
- Enables multivial capping and multichannel filling
- Individualized samples, eliminating multiple freeze/thaw cycles

Why do you recommend Nunc Cryobank vials for liquid nitrogen storage and the Matrix ScrewTop storage tubes for storage at higher temperatures?

We recommend using Nunc Cryobank vials for liquid nitrogen storage as these vials are designed for use at ultra-low temperatures. They come without a lid so that they can be easily picked from the rack at ultra-low temperatures using a tube selection or pen tool.
On the other hand, we recommend Matrix ScrewTop storage tubes for use at higher temperatures (-80 degrees C and above). They work well for both manual and automated picking.

Which Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes should I use for my application?

Please view the following information regarding the usage of Thermo Scientific 2D barcoded storage tubes:
Tube Type; Typical Storage Temperature; Application(s); Special Feature(s)
Sepraseal; -20 degrees C; Compound storage; Can easily be removed for sample access
Presplit Sepraseal; -20 degrees C; Compound storage; Up to 200 piercings
Duraseal; -20 degrees; Compound storage; Safe seal for multiple piercings
Matrix ScrewTop; -80 degrees C; Blood components, DNA, Bacteria; With the correct torque, there is very little evaporation at -80 C, disposable pipette tips can be used
Nunc Screwcap; -176 degrees C; Mammalian cells; Minimal height, tubes can be removed with cryo gloves
