The 1.40ml hybrid tube with external thread provides a unique solution to identify samples. Because of the transparent part of the tube wall, it is possible to visually check the samples, while the 4 coding concepts guarantee sample traceability. The 4 different coding concepts on one tube enable researchers to verify information and keep identifying samples when automated or visual sample identification methods are challenging. 

The 1D, 2D and human-readable codes are permanently laser-etched into the white surfaces, so that they can never wear or fall off. Because it is laser-etched into the white surface, the contrast is very high and easy to read. The bottom code surface features a raised edge, which protects the 2D Data-Matrix code against accidental scratches The triple screw thread of the tubes gives an excellent closure for long-term sample preservation and storage at ultra-low temperatures. To prevent the screw cap from overturning - manually or mechanically - the cap is designed with a unique lock when sealed. The sturdy design and thick walls of the tube make it possible to safely store samples at cryogenic temperatures.
