The US laboratory supplies firm introduces a Dense Storage system for biological samples and solutions, which reduces storage costs, while doubling storage capacity

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Dense Storage system for low-temperature storage of biological samples and solutions combines 1mL Thermo Scientific Nunc CryoBank tubes with new 13 x 13 tube dividers and Nunc CryoBoxes.

The US laboratory supplies firm says this Dense Storage format effectively doubles existing storage capacity, which can reduce costs by up to 50% while decreasing energy use.

Standalone tube separators can be retrofitted to existing CryoBoxes for additional flexibility. Optional 2D barcodes on the Nunc CryoBank tubes enable precise tracking and traceability.

To facilitate quick and easy manual handling, the Thermo Scientific CryoBank Picker Pen fits into the top of each tube to uncap or move it between racks. It also doubles as a ballpoint pen.

The complete Thermo Scientific low-temperature storage portfolio consists of CryoBank tubes, CryoBoxes, replacement dividers, a Picker Pen and the Thermo Scientific Revco UxF ultra low temperature freezers.

The new Dense Storage format and Revco UxF freezers allow laboratories further to increase capacity and require a smaller footprint than previous Revco models.
