BIOTUBE™ Rack 15.11.2007

The T101 BIOTUBE™ System is designed in such a way that the 96-place rack, having a standard on-center spacing of tubes, also has a standard microtiter sized footprint.

This rack is therefore suitable for use with Robotics Systems and for transferring liquids with multichannel pipettors and autosampling devices that conform to 96-well microplate systems. The same alphanumeric identification is used on the cover and white base.

BIOTUBE™ Storage Box and Grid Plate 15.11.2007

import offers a storage box who may hold a capacity of 96, 1.2mL individual tubes (8.8mm upper dia. x 45mm long), or 12 strips of 8. Tubes, strips and caps are available separately. The racks hold the tubes in the standard microtiter configuration of 8 x 12 and are available sterile or non sterile. All components are made of the highest quality polypropylene to ensure low protein binding characteristics. The racks can be autoclaved up to 100 times. Both tubes and racks will resist most research chemicals. They can also be stored at temperatures as low as -80°C and their configuration allows for optimum use of freezer space.

Each rack cover has an alphanumeric numbering system for identifying tubes and is supplied with a removable 96-place ID card for recording sample location. The transparent cover allows the user to see the contents of the rack and is keyed to the base to prevent misalignment.

The gridded racks are available in a choice of four popular colors.

BIOTUBE™ Storage Rack 15.11.2007

Compatible with most robotic workstations, this polypropylene storage rack can be used with most cell harvesters and leading 8- & 12-channel pipettors.

It contains 96 removable polypropylene square tubes in a 8 x 12 configuration, each having a 2.1mL capacity (2mL when capped). Although the tubes are square, the bottom is round to facilitate emptying.

For procedures requiring a low surface tension such as protein and nucleic acid work, Simport has developed a special tube (cat. no. T105-20LST) using a type of polypropylene specifically designed to avoid potentially harmful lubricants (such as silicone) while minimizing liquid retention.

The autoclavable rack and tubes are ideal for storage of blood and other biological samples at temperatures, from -30ºC. for freezer storage, up to 70ºC. Tubes are available separately. A PVC cover is also supplied for full protection of tube contents. Racks are stackable to save on storage space.

BIOTUBE™ System 15.11.2007

The BIOTUBE™ rack with standard 96-well on center spacing of tubes offers a color coding system using colored interchangeable plastic grids. These are used as a support for the 1.2mL tubes. This unique grid stands on four legs and can be removed from the base of the box and placed on a lab counter as a self-standing support. It can also be placed in a refrigerator or freezer shelf for improved air circulation around tubes, or in a water bath to allow controlled warming of the tubes and their contents.

Easy to read numbers and letters used on the box cover for sample identification are also shown on the support grids. These racks and tubes are also ideal for storing, freezing and transporting reagents and specimens.

The gridded racks are available in a choice of four popular colors: blue, green, red and yellow.

Fast Facts 15.11.2007

The UniRack™ offers the laboratory a support far more versatile and easy to use than any other rack available today. It is designed to use minimum counter space while offering maximum flexibility. Made of autoclavable polypropylene, it allows great resistance to various chemicals used in laboratories.

On one side it can hold up to 80 polystyrene or polyprolylene 10mm and 12mm tubes, such as 10 x 75mm or 12 x 75mm sizes. The rack is also perfect for 1 to 5mL cryogenic vials, self-standing or not, made by the largest manufacturers on the market such as Simport, Corning, Nalge/Nunc and many others. It will accommodate all 1.5 and 2ml microcentrifuge tubes as well as all types of screw cap microtubes from 0.5 to 2mL made by manufacturers such as Simport, Sarstedt, Nalgene, Bio-Plas,Porex Bio Products, Sorenson, SSI, etc… Flip The UniRack™ over and you can store up to 60 PCR or microcentrifuge tubes from 0.2 to 0.5mL.

Units can be firmly anchored laterally to one another, thanks to special anchor pins supplied with each rack. This innovative concept will allow the user to store 80, 160, 240 and even 320 tubes of different shapes, sizes and volumes since the units can be attached to each other either on the 80- or 60- position side facing upward, thus ensuring maximum versatility.

It is supplied with two removable handles allowing for better safety characteristics. The handles of the lower rack make a perfect fit with those of the upper one, ensuring a stable unit which can easily and safely be moved around. An additional protection level is possible by using a very resistant and quite affordable transparent lid allowing a clear view of the contents. More units can be added on top of each other with the lid in place thanks to small pins located on the cover. It is easy to write on it with a felt-tip pen.

There is a frosted area on both sides for bar coding, labeling or writing, enabling the user to identify the contents. These areas are well labeled with arrows to clearly identify which side of the rack the information belongs to. Offered in a wide array of colors allowing the user to classify tubes by their content or by date, work shift, destination or simply by laboratory.

Tubes & Caps 15.11.2007

Tubes are made of autoclavable polypropylene and are available either individually or in strips of 8 or 12 detachable tubes. Caps are made of polyethylene and are not autoclavable. They are available individually and also in strips of 8 or 12. Tubes have a gross volume of 1.2mL but with a cap in place, they will hold 1.1mL.

For procedures requiring low surface tension such as protein and nucleic acid work, Simport has developed a special tube (cat. no. T100-20LST) using a type of polypropylene specifically designed to avoid potentially harmful lubricants while minimizing liquid retention. T100-20 can be centrifuged up to 2000g.

These tubes are ideal for HTLV-III testing, bacterial and hybridoma cell uptake studies, cell harvesting, pharmaceutical quality control, receptor binding assays, RIA and EIA.
