Nunc cryobank vials incorporate 2D barcode tracking

Thermo Fisher Scientific has completed its screwtop vials portfolio with the addition of the Nunc 2ml and 5ml cryobank vials. These larger-volume vials incorporate 2D barcode tracking for effective sample storage, tracking and retrieval. They have a standard microplate format, which makes light work of pipetting and robotic handling. In addition the Cryobank cap is compatible with automated de-cappers.

The company says these sterile, non-pyrogenic tubes are CE marked and IATA certified, making them suitable for the long-term storage of larger volumes of biological samples.

The cryobank vials can be used with standard freezer racks and cryoboxes and their narrow diameter caps are arranged in the same location as those on a 96-vial plate. Existing Thermo Scientific, as well as third party single tube decapping, scanning and pipettor equipment, can be used, effectively eliminating the need to purchase additional accessories.

There is room on the cryobank vials for manual labels alongside the 2D barcode, making the contents easily identifiable. They are suitable for the long-term storage of tissue, urine, serum or plasma at -80°C or in liquid nitrogen.
