SUPERIOR RACK FEATURES Compatible with the leading sample storage automation systems (-20°C, -80°C and lower temperatures) CRYOGENIC SAMPLE STORAGE Storing samples at low temperatures is associated with extended viability of the preserved Highly transparent cover enables easy visual checking of the enclosed samples samples. While many samples are stored in mechanical freezers at -80°C, it is important Novel cover lock system for cryogenic storage: “icebreaker” mechanism Unique cover print indicating rack and tube type to note that at this temperature metabolic activity has not ceased, it has only slowed down. By reducing sample temperatures to below the glass transition phase of water (-132°C), all metabolic activity comes to a halt. Sample storage below this temperature - in vapor phase LN2 - therefore assures a safe form of preservation. Made from Polycarbonate which has excellent properties for low temperatures (vapor phase LN2) SERVING SCIENTISTS SINCE 1984 Testing shows that the Micronic ULT Racks can be used in cryogenic temperatures until vapor phase LN2. Vapor phase LN2 temperatures range between -150°C and -196°C, depending on the location and the distance away from the liquid nitrogen vessel. Extremely strong design which minimizes deformation due to temperature changes Clean room class 7 production, RNase/ DNase and pyrogen free CERTIFIED CLASS 7 CLEAN ROOM MANUFACTURING Micronic does not recommend to store samples in liquid phase nitrogen, as there are several risks associated with storing samples in these kind of storage systems: • Storage in LN2 includes the risk of the tubes being flooded by LN2 when the stor- Unique laser-etched Alphanumeric coding on top Standard available with laser-etched 1D barcode age vessel is filled - LN2 may seep inside the tube when not correctly capped. LN2 PRODUCTION IN THE NETHERLANDS AND THE UNITED STATES trapped in a cavity expands rapidly when the tube is retrieved into room temperature, which may cause a significant explosion risk. No manufacturer can guarantee that LN2 will never penetrate into any tube during storage. Twist-Lock design prevents tubes from turning during screw (de)capping Rack orientation marks on bottom and side Based on the ANSI/SLAS standards for storage racks OPTIONAL SERVICES / FEATURES • Research shows that laboratory staff should be aware of potential cross-contamination from e.g. viruses that retain infectivity after suspension in LN2. COMPATIBILITY LABWARE EQUIPMENT Custom 1D Rack Barcode Micronic offers the service to supply unique laser-etched 1D barcodes in customized formats on any side of the rack. The standard barcoded racks of Micronic are provided with a unique laser-etched barcode on the A1-H1 side of the rack. Sterilization by Gamma Irradiation Gamma irradiation is the most common sterilization method used on labware. Sterilization by gamma irradiation can ensure a SAL of 10-6: a one millionth probability of microbial survival. Irradiation itself cannot guarantee that the product is free from any detectable RNases, DNases or pyrogens. Class 7 clean room production is therefore an essential requirement. Sterilization by EtO Treatment Using a novel Ethylene Oxide Treatment process - Micronic’s labware is independently certified to be absolutely DNA-free and therefore provides the perfect medium for long-term, high integrity storage of forensic samples. Micronic is offering the DNA-free products in a special Tyvek packaging.
