0.40ml Tubes External Thread

The 0.40ml tube enables efficient storage of low volumes of liquid samples. Due to thick tube walls, the tube has a sturdy design and excellent properties for ultra-low temperature storage. The 2D Data-Matrix codes are permanently laser-etched into the tube bottom so that they can never wear or fall off, ensuring absolute traceability.

The 0.40ml tube is compatible with the 1D barcoded Micronic 96-1 Rack which is based on the automation-friendly ANSI/SLAS rack format. Additionally, the tube is compatible with liquid handlers and automated stores.

Available labware enhancement options

Sterilization using Gamma Irradiation: Micronic products can be supplied gamma irradiated. 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 using EtO Treatment: Micronic products can be supplied ethylene oxide treated. Using a novel ethylene oxide treatment process – Micronic’s consumable products are independently certified to be absolutely DNA-free and therefore provide the perfect medium for long-term, high integrity storage of forensic samples. Micronic is offering the DNA-free products in a special Tyvek packaging.

Pre-Capped: All Micronic tubes are available pre-capped. There are 12 different colors for your choice: Grey, White, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Purple, Blue, Light Blue, Light Green, Green and Black.

Pre-Racked: All Micronic tubes are available pre-racked. The racks are based on the global recognized ANSI / SLAS standards for storage and features a laser etched 1D rack barcode.
