Micronic BV, specialists in traceable sample storage solutions, have introduced an easy open cover for their popular Comorack-24 and -96 tube racks.

Securely locking on both sides of a rack the new Comorack cover has been thoroughly tested to operate even at low temperatures

Durably constructed in medical grade polycarbonate - Comorack tube racks may be autoclaved clean over 100 times providing considerable cost savings over consumable sample storage products.
