Dual-Cap Sample Collection Tube for Genetic Testing Workflows

Azenta Life Sciences has launched Cap2^TM - a new 0.2ml PCR microcentrifuge tube featuring a novel dual-cap design with both hinged lid and screw cap to preserve the integrity of samples used in genetic testing workflows. Acting as both a collection and processing tube, sample transfer can be minimized making for greater efficiency and less wastage.

Designed to ensure sample traceability in wide ranging genetic testing workflows, including pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) – each Cap² tube has a unique 2D datamatrix code as well as a numerical human readable identifier to prevent sample tracking errors.

All Azenta tubes, including the new Cap², are developed with broad compatibility in mind, performing without compromise in conjunction with automated code reading, capping and sample management systems from Azenta and all other industry-recognized manufacturers.

Manufactured from high quality virgin polypropylene, in a class 8 clean room environment, each batch of tubes is tested to certify them endotoxin and DNase/RNase free as well as containing no detectable leachables or extractables. Vital considerations for sample collection tubes used in genetic testing workflows.
