Description

General description

Eppendorf CryoStorage Vials use the three-level coding of the SafeCode system (data matrix code, barcode and plain text) to enable secure sample identification. Up to 96 pre-labeled vials are already prepared with lids in racks for convenient use. The volume range of the vials covers 0.5 mL to 4.0 mL for a variety of storage applications, e.g. B. -80 °C in the ultra deep freezer. CryoStorage Vials are the vessels of choice for modern space-saving storage while meeting the highest standards of sample security, management and tracking.

"Every stored vessel must be labeled" - every laboratory employee agrees. However, the reality is different: in every ULT freezer there is at least one container without labeling or with completely illegible labeling. It is recommended that vessels be clearly labeled so that they can be easily and reliably identified by anyone. Minimum requirements for reliable reading are printed plain text labels on the vessels. One step further in the direction of fast and reliable sample identification is then labeling with barcodes, barcoding.
A barcode is a machine-readable visual representation of data.

A barcode is a machine-readable visual representation of data. With classic 1D barcodes, the data is encoded by bars of different widths and gaps in between. Two-dimensional codes (2D) are based on points, hexagons, rectangles or other geometric patterns. These codes are also referred to as data matrix codes.
The following specifications apply to 2D codes:

• The edge pattern (finder pattern) consists of two constant lines on the left and below, the "clock track"
• The quiet zone (quiet zone) surrounds the edge pattern, it should not contain any black and white contrast
• The code can be white on a black background or black on a white background.

The Eppendorf CryoStorage Vials offer secure sample IDs and simple and fast sample identification through 3-level coding:

• 1D barcode (side)
• Plain text (side)
• 2D data matrix code with ECC 200 error correction (bottom)
