2D codes on the bottom sample storage tubes
2D Coded Tubes
for Secure and Reliable Sample Traceability
In modern laboratories, accurate sample identification is critical. 2D coded tubes provide permanent, unique identification for every sample, ensuring full traceability from collection to long-term storage. Designed for biobanking, pharmaceutical research, clinical diagnostics, and life science laboratories, 2D barcode tubes help eliminate manual labeling errors and improve workflow efficiency.
Each tube features a laser-etched or molded 2D Data Matrix code on the bottom, enabling fast and reliable scanning with compatible single tube or rack code readers.
What Are 2D Coded Tubes?
And what are they used for?
2D coded tubes are sample storage tubes with a unique Data Matrix barcode permanently integrated into the tube base. Unlike traditional labels, these codes cannot peel, fade, or detach, even under extreme laboratory conditions.
The 2D code contains a unique alphanumeric identifier that can be instantly decoded using a compatible scanner. This ensures that every tube within a rack can be identified individually while maintaining its exact rack position.
This technology significantly reduces human error and strengthens sample tracking across your entire laboratory workflow.
Designed for Demanding Laboratory Environments
Designed to withstand extreme cryogenic conditions, these solutions maintain structural integrity and code readability even at temperatures as low as -196°C. This makes them ideal for long-term biobanking and preservation of valuable biological samples in liquid nitrogen storage. Reliable performance at ultra-low temperatures ensures sample safety and traceability over time.
Engineered for compatibility with automated platforms, these products support smooth operation within robotic handling systems and laboratory automation workflows. Precise dimensions and consistent quality ensure accurate positioning, scanning, and processing. This minimizes manual intervention and reduces the risk of handling errors.
Built to support high-volume environments, these solutions enable efficient processing, tracking, and storage of thousands of samples. Their design enhances workflow speed while maintaining accuracy and data integrity. This makes them particularly suitable for clinical research, pharmaceutical development, and large biorepositories.
Manufactured from chemically resistant materials, these products withstand exposure to common laboratory reagents and solvents. They are designed to maintain durability, sealing integrity, and barcode readability throughout extended storage periods. This ensures reliable sample identification and protection in demanding laboratory conditions.
Compatible with code readers
and other automated laboratory equipment
2D coded tubes are designed to work in combination with:
- Single tube code readers
- Full rack code readers
- Side barcode readers
- Automated tube pickers and handlers
- Recappers and decappers
This compatibility ensures smooth integration into both manual and fully automated sample management systems. By combining 2D coded tubes with advanced code readers and tube handling solutions, laboratories can build a complete, scalable traceability workflow.
Improve the accuracy of your research
and reduce errors in sample management
Manual labeling and handwritten identification increase the risk of misidentification. With 2D coded tubes, each sample receives a permanently unique identifier, reducing the risk of:
- Sample swaps
- Data entry mistakes
- Lost or unreadable labels
- Inconsistent rack organization
The result is improved data integrity, better regulatory compliance, and increased confidence in your research outcomes.
A Future-Proof Solution
