30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN TRACEABLE SAMPLE STORAGE CERTIFIED CLASS 7 CLEAN ROOM INJECTION MOLDING AND ASSEMBLY PRODUCTION IN THE NETHERLANDS AND THE UNITED STATES NEXT GENERATION RACK RANGE For Ultra-Low Temperature Storage

"INNOVATION IN SAMPLE STORAGE A STATE OF THE ART RACK RANGE WITH UNMATCHED FEATURES Drawing upon over 30 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying traceable sample storage solutions to research centers and laboratory facilities, Micronic has developed a Next Generation Ultra-Low Temperature Tube Storage Rack Range. The Micronic Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Racks do not simply have a nicer design - they are better in every way. The racks have many unique features including its extremely strong design for cryogenic storage, a novel "icebreaker" cover lock mechanism, cover prints indicating...

NEXT GENERATION RACK RANGE FOR ULTRA-LOW TEMPERATURE STORAGE THE USE OF THE MOST ADVANCED MATERIALS - A RESULT OF EXTENSIVE RESEARCH One of the most important properties tube storage racks need to have is their resistance against extreme conditions. Micronic conducted research on all kinds of materials and rack designs in order to come to a perfect match for use in ultra-low temperatures. As a result of extensive testing, the Micronic ULT Racks are manufactured from virgin Polycarbonate. Racks made from this material have excellent properties for low temperature conditions which make them ideal...

Class 7 clean room RNase DNase Free DESIGNED IN COOPERATION WITH AUTOMATION COMPANIES There is a trend among biorepositories and other laboratory facilities towards laboratory automation in order to increase and maintain sample integrity. This means that tube storage racks need to be designed in such a way that they are compatible with automated storage and handling systems. The Micronic ULT Racks therefore have an automation compatible American National Standards Institute/ Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (ANSI/SLAS) dimensional footprint. Next to the standard ANSI/SLAS footprint,...

SUPERIOR RACK FEATURES Compatible with the leading sample storage automation systems (-20°C, -80°C and lower temperatures) Highly transparent cover enables easy visual checking of the enclosed samples Novel cover lock system for cryogenic storage: “icebreaker” mechanism Unique cover print indicating rack and tube type Made from Polycarbonate which has excellent properties for low temperatures (vapor phase LN2) Extremely strong design which minimizes deformation due to temperature changes Clean room class 7 production, RNase/ DNase and pyrogen free Unique laser-etched Alphanumeric coding on top...

CRYOGENIC SAMPLE STORAGE Storing samples at low temperatures is associated with extended viability of the preserved samples. While many samples are stored in mechanical freezers at -80°C, it is important 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. Testing shows that the Micronic ULT Racks can be used in cryogenic...
