Thermo Scientific™ Nunc™ Cryobank Tube Systems

Nunc™ Cryobank storage tubes take traditional cryostorage to the next level with laser etched 2D barcodes and standard microplate format racks, offering greater storage capability compared to standard
cryoboxes.

Compatible with the complete line of 2D barcode readers, capping/ decapping equipment and labelling options, Cryobank tubes can be used in manual or automated storage of diagnostic and biological samples down to vapor phase liquid nitrogen. Cryobank products are available in a volume range of 0.5 mL through 5.0 mL, and complemented by a range of certifications.

details

Nunc Cryobank tubes take traditional cryostorage to the next level with higher density storage format and reliable 2D barcode traceability. Compatible with the complete line of 2D barcode readers, capping/ decapping equipment, and labelling options, Cryobank products are a perfect match for biological, genomic, and diagnostic sample storage.

Secure Tracking

  • Permanently attached, laser etched 2D barcode on the bottom of the tube allows you to scan and decode the entire rack at once without removing them from the rack, and allows data to be associated with each tube
  • Solid one piece construction eliminates the risk of labels falling off during cryogenic storage, preserving the identity of valuable sample material
  • Utilize a range of 2D reading products to decode individual tubes or complete microplate footprint racks. Readers allow flexible output to store data in multiple database formats

Superior Storage Format

  • Cryobank tubes are available in space conscious microplate format racks or can be stored in traditional cryoboxes, accommodating your preferred storage format
  • Microplate format is compatible with your existing multichannel manual pipettes and automated liquid handling equipment
  • Unique anti-rotation feature allows compatibility with automated decapping/ capping equipment in single, 8-channel, or full-rack options to accommodate multiple throughput
    requirements.
  • TPE gasketed polypropylene cap provides superior seal during high or low temperature storage
  • Low-binding surface allows maximum recovery of low concentration samples

Certified to meet your storage needs

  • CE certified* and conforms to IATA requirements for diagnostic use and transportation
  • Certified DNAse, RNAse , pyrogene and toxin free
  • Sterility assurance level 10-6 for the most sensitive sample storage

Stringent Quality Control

  • 2D barcodes are scanned for readability and checked against a full database of of previous barcodes to ensure no duplicates across the Cryobank storage tube product line.
  • Leak testing validation performed during the manufacturing process to ensure sample integrity is maintained

* Applies to certain Cryobank products only
