Product Description
Brand Thermo Fisher Scientific
Model Nunc
Capacity 2.0 mL
CAT No 374513
Application Liquid Handling
Experience the best features of the Thermo Scientific storage tube portfolio: universal cap, universal latch rack and free-standing tube. This versatile, 2.0mL internally threaded tube is ideal both for a large storage system like a biobank, and in smaller scale for traditional cryostorage. Sample identity is ensured due to a permanently attached 2D barcode on each tube and permanent laser etching of the rack. Now available in a barcoded rack to allow tracking of the rack in addition to individual tubes.
High-Integrity Sample StorageThese polypropylene tubes are engineered to provide reliable sample containment. Their leakproof design and secure internally-threaded screw caps prevent spills and contamination, making them suitable for transport and ultra-low temperature storage. Molded graduations facilitate accurate measurement of the 2.0 mL capacity, while the transparent body aids visual inspection.
Versatile Lab ApplicationCompatible with both manual handling and automated liquid systems, Nunc Universal Tubes are ideal for sample storage, biobanking, cryogenic preservation, and more. Available in various packaging formats and convenient lot traceability, these tubes meet the needs of research, molecular biology, and clinical laboratories across India.
Reliable, Traceable, and CustomizableChoose between sterile or non-sterile tubes, depending on your process requirements. Lot traceability and pre-barcoded options simplify sample tracking. Custom cap color options ensure seamless workflow integration and visual differentiation. Designed for reliable performance, they are compliant with stringent laboratory standards.
FAQ's of Thermo Scientific Nunc 2.0mL Internally-Threaded Universal Tubes:
Q: How do I use the Thermo Scientific Nunc 2.0mL Internally-Threaded Universal Tubes for sample storage?
A: Simply add your sample to the tube, then securely close the tube using the internally-threaded screw cap. The tubes are designed for manual operation and can also be used with automated liquid handling systems, ensuring leakproof preservation during storage or transport.
Q: What temperature ranges are these tubes suitable for?
A: These tubes are autoclavable at up to 121C for sterilization and are compatible with ultra-low temperature storage, safely storing samples down to -80C without compromising sample integrity.
Q: When should I choose the sterile versus non-sterile option?
A: Use sterile tubes for applications requiring strict aseptic conditions, such as molecular biology or clinical sample collection. Non-sterile options are suited for tasks where sterility is not critical, providing greater flexibility depending on your workflow.
Q: Where can I track and identify my samples when using these tubes?
A: The tubes are available with pre-barcoded options and molded graduations, making it easy to identify and track samples within racks, increasing efficiency for high-throughput labs or biobanking workflows.
Q: What is the process for ensuring leakproof storage with these tubes?
A: Each tube and cap combination is tested for a leakproof seal. To ensure proper sealing, screw the cap on tightly and verify closure visually before storing or transporting samples.
Q: Which benefits do these tubes offer for laboratory routines?
A: Benefits include a secure, leakproof closure system, compatibility with automation, full lot traceability, and a DNase/RNase-free design, supporting high-quality and reliable results across various laboratory applications.
Q: Are these tubes available in different cap colors, and how does it help?
A: Yes, standard caps are natural in color, but other colors are available upon request. Color-coded caps enable easier visual sample identification, aiding workflow organization and minimizing errors in busy laboratory environments.
