TraceTraq™ 2D Barcoded Sample Storage Tubes
Ziath’s range of TraceTraq™ high density tubes are designed to optimise storage of biological samples at temperatures as low as -196°C. All tubes feature a permanent, laser etched 2D barcode at the base of the tube, which when combined with Ziath’s DataPaq™ scanner and software options, provides a fast & efficient solution for managing and tracking your precious samples.

Each tube has a unique code and coordinates within a rack, which when decoded with the scanner guarantees that every sample is assigned a unique identity and location. Each rack has a linear barcode and human readable code lasered onto the side. For automation orientation recognition there is a matching 2D barcode lasered onto the base of the rack. With a compression ring moulded into the screw cap, TraceTraq™ caps feature outstanding leak resistance. The tubes are available in 0.75ml or 1.4ml volumes.

ZIATH DATAPAQ™ 2D BARCODE SCANNERS
The TraceTraq™ tubes can be de-coded using Ziath's DataPaq™ scanners. The software is intuitive to use, easy to install and comes with the expertise and support from Ziath. Find out more about our range of DataPaq™ 2D barcode scanners here

QUALITY & CERTIFICATION
Our TraceTraq™ tubes are manufactured using virgin medical grade polypropylene under ISO 8 clean room conditions and available sterile with gamma radiation. ETO treatment is also an option. Products are certified free from DNA, RNA, DNAse, RNAse and endotoxins. They are suitable for use between –196°C and 200°C.
 
COMPACT STORAGE
The rack is SBS, stackable with a linear barcode on the side and a matching 2D barcode on the base

SEALING
The plug cap has a cross-hatch impression making it easy to pierce. Screw caps or plug caps can be used on the same tubes. The screw cap is manufactured from polyethylene and has an integral TPE compression ring moulded to the screwcap.
 
RACK FEATURES
Our TraceTraq™ tubes are available in SBS format, 96-tube racks which have clear one-piece lids for easy sample viewing that lock onto the rack base. The rack features a “spin-stop” design, which prevents the tubes from turning, making the screw cap versions suitable for automated decapping. The side of the rack has a linear barcode and human readable code etched onto it. The underside of the rack features a laser etched 2D barcode that matches the barcode located on the side. The 2D barcode on the underside enables a scanner to automatically determine the orientation of the rack.
