A Guide to our FluidXNext-Generation TubesAs we expand our range of FluidX Next-Generation tubes, weare introducing a new naming convention standard. This willinclude updating the product names and descriptions of ourexisting range and our new product introductions.Jacket Tri-codedEach tube features a permanent 2D-code laser etched inhigh-contrast on the tube base, a permanent 1D (linearbarcode) and Human-Readable Number laser etched in highcontrast on the tube side.The original jacket tube is manufactured using a two-piecemanufacturing process which requires additional assembly.All three codes are identical and auditing processesguarantee all three codes match.

FluidX external thread caps feature a doublestart thread. The thread is fully engaged after a maximumrotation of 180o, making the cap easier to use especially inautomated environments.Internal ThreadThread is on the inside of the tube.

As part of the team that developed the original 2D-codedsample tubes in 1999, we have been at the global forefront of developing sample storage consumables and instruments for nearly20 years and we continue our philosophy of innovation to this day.In addition to the innovation behind our products, we are committed to providing the highest levels of customer service, supportand quality. Our Technical Support Team provides expert assistance, making sure our products give the reliable and optimalperformance you expect.We believe that a quality sample is the cornerstone in the generation of reliable, reproducible and quantifiable data - which is whyBrooks Life Sciences is all about the sample.www.brookslifesciences.com3

FluidX Sample Storage Consumables and DevicesFluidX tubes are available in a range of formats, including racked, loose, bulk, cappedand uncapped. Our robust code management system ensures each and every code ispermanently affixed, unique and never duplicated. Tubes are suitable for applicationsranging from 121 C to -196 C.All FluidX tubes are developed with broad compatibility in mind, performing withoutcompromise in conjunction with automated code reading, capping and samplemanagement systems from FluidX and all other industry-recognized manufacturers.KEY FEATURESOur coding systems are designedto deliver the highest levels ofsample security and labelingflexibility. We offer tubes with achoice of code, either 2D-code,1D (linear barcode) or HumanReadable Number (HRN). Our Tri-coded tubes have all threeoptions whilst our Dual-coded tubes, can have a 2D-codeand Human Readable Number on the tube base or side.A robust code management system ensures each andevery code is unique and never duplicated, preventing anypossibility of misidentification involving your samples.Every tube is quality checked toensure they meet our exactingstandards for readability.Excellent Sealing: Tubeswork equally well with eitherTPE septum or screw caps. Adouble start thread engages ina maximum rotation of 180 , facilitating automation.Ideal for Cold Storage: Temperature range from -196 C(with screw cap) to 121 C. All our polypropylene tubes aresuitable for cryogenic storage, but not for submersion inliquid phase nitrogen.All FluidX polypropylene sample storage tubes sealedwith a screw cap are suitable for use in cryogenic storageconditions.Superior Datamatrix code quality:FluidX sample storage tubes are easy to read even in harshconditions or when damaged. Our 2D-codes adhere fully tothe ECC200 standard. All codes are generated using thelatest and most sophisticated error correction methods andhigh quality, permanent laser etching provides sharp detail.Automation Friendly:Screw capped tubes are compatible with our range ofcappers and decappers, includung our IntelliXcap range.Available in 24, 48, and 96 format to automatically removeand re-cap a complete rack of tubes. The TwistLock featureprevents the tubes rotating in the rack during capping andde-capping.4Integration friendlywww.brookslifesciences.com
