Ensuring the security of samples in tube racks…

Micronic BV, specialists in traceable sample storage solutions, have introduced a novel lockable closing system to ensure the security of samples in tube racks.

The new CovLoc is a robust, compact system that enables tube racks to be simply and securely locked ensuring sample security during transport or storage. CovLoc operates by simply moving the locker up or down to open and close the rack lid. Securely locking on both sides of a rack - CovLoc is designed to eliminate accidental lid openings. The CovLoc has been thoroughly tested to operate even at low temperatures.

The CovLoc will now be supplied as standard with Micronic RoboRack-96, LoboRack-96 and StaboRack-96 products. The Retrofit functionality enables existing users of Micronic Racks to also benefit from the novel locking mechanism. The CovLoc is available in bags of 45 or 72 pairs to enable you to lock existing rack covers.

Working with leading automation companies Micronic has developed an elegant range of tube racks based upon the globally recognised Society of Biomolecular Screening (SBS) standard footprint. Accommodating 96 individual tubes in the industry standard 96-well configuration Micronic racks are fully compatible with all commercially available automated sample handing and storage systems enabling significant gains in productivity to be routinely achieved.
