Starterpack for Biobanking Sample Storage

Micronic BV has launched an affordable, specialist Starter Pack for Biobanking & Biorepository organisations looking to implement high integrity and traceable sample storage work practices.

The collection and storage of millions of clinical samples throughout the world every year for research and diagnostic purposes has driven industry to build and maintain Biobanks and Biorepositories. However the emergence of regulations on how to establish, maintain and use biobanks is necessitating that organisations put in place traceable regimes for sample collection and storage.

Dedicated to the design and production of innovative sample storage tubes, accessories and instruments since 1982, Micronic is uniquely able to offer Biobank / Biorepository laboratories the expert advice to help them safeguard one of their most valuable assets - their samples.

Having worked with a growing number of leading Biobanking projects around the world - Micronic has developed a specialist Starter Pack that contains everything needed to start using 2D coded sample storage tubes enabling laboratory workers to ensure a secure sample logistics system and eliminate the costly possibility of false sample identities.

Each attractively priced Biobanking starter pack contains an easy-to-use tube scanner, operating software and a case of screw top tube. The Biobanking Starter Pack offers a substantial saving over buying the products individually. Coming from a world leader in traceable sample storage the quality of supplied goods is second to none and all components design optimised to provide top performance.

Micronic screw top tubes, available in a wide variety of volumes and codes that all fit in a high-density tube storage holder, provide Biobanking laboratories with high integrity storage and easy retrieval of precious samples down to liquid nitrogen temperatures. Incorporating a novel 'single turn' screw cap mechanism ensures that accessing samples is a simple and rapid process. A unique 2D code on the bottom of each tube provides an easy and unambiguous means of storing and identifying samples. The internal 'V' shape of each Micronic screw top tube ensures the lowest possible dead volume and maximum sample recovery. Designed to fit 96 individual tubes into a standard footprint rack optimises valuable freezer space and ensures automation compatibility.
