Thermo Fisher Scientific has added its Matrix Amber 2D barcoded tubes to its sizeable sample storage product portfolio.

The DNase/RNase-free barcoded tubes are made of Virgin Class IV Medical Grade Polypropylene with added amber color to protect samples from ultraviolet (UV) light and allows users to estimate liquid levels inside the tube.

Matrix 2D tubes are also avaiable in 0.5 and 1.0 mL sizes and its standard red caps prevent auto-luminescence and allow less light penetration.

Matrix 2D tubes is compatible with 2D barcode readers, handheld de-cappers, freezer racks and automated instruments.

In addition, the 2D barcoding technology ensures that sample can even be read following long-term cold storage.
