New Wheaton E-Z Ex-Traction® Microtubes are Ideal for Automated Sample Handling and Storage Systems

Wheaton Science Products introduces the new E-Z Ex-Traction Glass MicroTubes which are precision engineered and manufactured to tight tolerances to reduce the chance of failure in automated sample handling and storage systems. The interior wall of the MicroTube transitions smoothly into the conical well at the bottom of the vial which prevents any loss of material that might get trapped in irregular surfaces and corners. The constant shape and depth of the well enables greater recovery of the sample by automated systems without concern for vial and needle damage.

The smooth sides and the patented flat bottom design enable each tube to be 2D bar coded. The finish of the microtubes at the top is straight, not tapered as other glass microtubes on the market, which allows for better sealing of the stopper. The Wheaton E-Z Ex-Traction MicroTubes are offered in a 96-well polypropylene rack with a locking lid. This format is perfectly suited for use with automated storage and retrieval equipment and multichannel pipettes. Cap mats also available separately.

The new E-Z Ex-Traction Glass MicroTubes are offered with or without permanent 2D barcodes. These barcodes are 100% readable and never duplicated ensuring perfect data management. The ceramic bar code provides protection when using DMSO and other harsh chemicals.
