MANY biological samples are prone to photo degradation, where the action of light causes changes that can invalidate subsequent laboratory tests. Micronic says that its Amber polypropylene storage tubes ensure the integrity of light sensitive biological samples, even over long-term…
THE new DataPaq Cube barcode reader from Ziath uses a dual camera set-up to provide fast and flexible scanning of 2D barcoded tubes in both SBS and cryobox formats. The company says the DataPaq Cube works with all currently available…
STORING high sample volumes in the minimum space is a challenge faced by many laboratories. Micronic now offers a new answer to this perennial dilemma with its 2.00ml storage tubes, which provide higher volume storage within an industry-standard 96-tube rack…
