11 96 Format Sample Storage Tubes Introduction FluidX Sample Storage Tubes in 96 Format FluidX offer a complete and unique range of sample storage tubes in 96 format that include space-saving external thread designs, and our very own tri-labelled Jacket Tubes - all ideal for cryogenic storage. External Thread Cryo Tubes Save Space and Reduce Cost. Thread is on the outside of the tube so there is no loss in working volume when a cap is added. e.g. 0.3ml external thread tubes require a third less freezer storage space than standard 0.5ml tubes and are contained within a low profile 96 format rack with a heightof just 22mm. Excellent Seal Performance No silicone seal is used, the cap cannot be overtightened. External thread screw cap tubes use a deforming compression seal and provide a more effective seal than silicone alternative. Cap and tube are manufactured from the same polypropylene homopolymer (resin) to prevent differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles. Note: Homopolymer provides a lower binding and wider temperature tolerance than standard polypropylene. FluidX external thread caps feature a double start thread. The thread is fully engaged after a maximum rotation of 180 (rather than 360 for internal thread) making the cap easier to use especially in automated environments. Using a compression seal, rather than an O ring, results in a tighter seal with a more consistent torque. Ideal for ultra-cold storing of DNA and RNA samples (-196 C). Choice of coding option. Available with either 2D barcode, alphanumeric markings or non-coded. Choose from: 0.3ml Jacket Tube with external thread. Tri-labelled. 0.7ml Jacket Tube with external thread.

Jacket Tubes Both external and internal thread cryo tubes are available with tri-labelled jacket. Jacket features a 2D barcode on base, and linear barcode and human readable ID on side for easy reading and optimised sample security. Internal Thread Cryo Tubes with 2D Barcode FluidX internal thread cryo tubes are suitable for use with either screw caps or TPE septum caps. Ideal for ultra-cold storing of DNA and RNA samples, to -196 C (when used with screw cap). Choice of Coding Option. Available with either 2D barcode, alphanumeric markings or non-coded.

12 96 Format Sample Storage Tubes Introduction Additional Tube Features TwistLock This feature prevents tubes rotating within the rack so enables automated capping and decapping of screw caps. TwistLock is provided as standard, however some racks are available without TwistLock for use on specific automated systems. LidLock Racks fitted with our LidLock latch are designed to withstand drop test for added sample security. TubeLock offers dual-function capability. Racks with the TubeLock feature offer two stable tube positions, either locked or non-locked. TubeLock is activated by applying pressure to tube top, clicks the tube into place. Racked tubes can be ordered either pre-locked or non-locked. Ideal for Cold Storage Temperature range -196 C (with screw cap) to 110 C. Suitable for cryogenic storage, but not for submersion in liquid phase Nitrogen. Can be autoclaved. Automation Friendly TubeLock activated tubes locked into position TubeLock not activated, tubes unlocked Compatible with the XSD-96 range of tube capper/decappers to automat- ically remove and recap screw caps from racked tubes. TwistLock feature prevents tubes rotating within the rack during capping or decapping. Excellent Sealing Ability Tubes work equally well with either TPE septum caps or screw caps. Improved internal thread provides a more secure seal when using screw caps. Superior Datamatrix Code Quality Our 2D barcoded tubes are now easier to read, even in harsh conditions or when damaged. Black on white 2D Datamatrix barcode with improved white quiet zone. FluidX offer one of the few ranges that adheres fully to the ECC200 standard. Barcode is generated using latest and most sophisticated error correction methods. New generation, high quality, permanent laser etching system provides sharper detail. 100% QC. Every tube is checked to ensure they meet our exacting standards for readability. FluidX 2D Barcode Other Original Thread Automatic Rack Orientation FluidX racks can be supplied with a unique 2D barcode identifier. This can be read at the same time as the tube 2D barcode when using a FluidX whole rack reader to provide automatic rack orientation and more secure sample tracking. Improved thread, now two turns Direct Laser Etching Of Racks Cutout windows on the rack sides allow the linear barcode to be read more easily. Linear barcodes can be laser etched directly onto the rack Tel +44(0) info@fluidx.eu

13 96 Format Sample Storage Tubes Introduction Choice of Coding Options FluidX sample storage tubes with internal thread are available with a choice of coding options, highlighted below. Please note that external thread tubes are only supplied with a 2D barcode on the base, or as a tri-labelled Jacket Tube. Non-Coded (Naked) Tubes Alphanumeric Coded Tubes 2D Barcoded (Black on White) 2D Barcoded (White on Black) Simply come as they are. A high contrast, clealy marked, large alpha numeric position designator. Created using the same laser technique as our 2D barcoded tubes Standard 2D barcoded option.

14 96 Format Sample Storage Tubes External Thread Cryo Tubes Jacket Tubes 0.3ml Jacket Tube with External Thread Uses a third less freezer space than standard 0.5ml storage tubes. Ideal for storing DNA and RNA (between 50µl to 200µl). Space Saving FluidX 0.3ml tubes are stored in a low profile 96 well format rack with a height of just 22mm. The only 96 well format tube available with external thread screw cap to maximise the internal volume but keep tube height to a minimum. High Quality Seal No silicone seal is used which eliminates the risk of overtightening, a deforming compression seal is used instead which achieves a more effective seal. Cap and tube are made from the same material to prevent differential expansion during freeze-thaw cycles.

15 96 Format Sample Storage Tubes External Thread Cryo Tubes Jacket Tubes 0.7ml Jacket Tube with External Thread Ideal for storing DNA or RNA between 50µl and 200µl. Requires 20% less freezer space, with 15% greater working volume, compared with internal thread versions. As the thread is on the outside of the tube there is no loss in working volume when a cap is added, up to 33% of working volume can be lost when a cap is added to a tube with an internal thread. (NB. Working volume of a standard 0.7ml tube with internal thread is 460µl, FluidX 0.7ml tube with external thread has working volume of 525µl).

28 24 and 48 Format Sample Storage Tubes Tubes in Range Cryo Tubes High quality polypropylene tubes with 2D barcode and screw top. Suitable for use in a wide range of applications including cryogenic sample storage. Tubes can be stored at temperatures as low as -196 C. (Not for submersion in liquid phase Nitrogen). Available in 1ml, 1.5ml, 2ml, and 4ml sizes, with internal and external thread. 2ml cryo tubes are also available with a jacket which incorporates linear barcode and human readable ID. Large Format Tubes 2D barcoded polypropylene tubes with external thread and a jacket with linear barcode. Available in 6ml and 10ml sizes. Tissue Sample Tubes A specifically-designed tissue sample tube is also available, with 2D barcode and external thread screw cap.
