Why are Quality Sample Storage Tubes Important?

Quality sample storage tubes are vital for many reasons. The most important and most obvious reason would be to preserve the integrity of your precious samples. Storage sample tubes that are manufactured poorly with substandard plastics don't allow for an optimal seal, can break easily, and/or leak.

It is pivotal for researchers and scientists to ensure reproducible results, regardless of whether the tubes are brand new or have been stored in extreme cold temperatures for a period of time.

Additionally, barcoded tubes are becoming an important asset for daily workflows. As more laboratories shift to semi- or fully automated workflows, 1D and 2D barcoded tubes make end-to-end sample tracking easier and more efficient.

Hamilton sample storage tubes are manufactured with quality materials and free of detectable DNase/RNase, human DNA, and endotoxins. They are also non-cytotoxic and can be ordered as either sterile or non-sterile tubes.
