Why good storage conditions matter

Samples are only as reliable as the conditions they’re kept in. When tubes aren’t sealed properly, labelled clearly or stored at the right temperature, results can deteriorate over time. Degradation, contamination and mix-ups aren’t always obvious at first, but they impact testing, data accuracy and future use.

Proper systems help protect a sample’s identity and condition from the moment it’s stored to the moment it’s retrieved. Secure containment, traceable labelling and consistent handling support dependable outcomes and reduce the risk of damaged or unusable material.

Key tools that support accurate storage

  • Barcode scanners — Speeds up tracking, removes the need for manual entry and lowers the risk of mistakes during access or audits.
  • 2D barcoded tubes — Enables instant identification without handwriting or labels and are designed for frozen environments and high-density storage.
  • Deepwell plates — Supports larger volumes, works with automated systems and keeps batch storage organised during processing or retrieval.
  • SAFE access accessories — Keeps tubes and racks in fixed positions to maintain order during transfers, scanning or sorting.
  • SAFE screw capper-decapper — Improves sealing and opening speed, reduces strain and helps preserve closure integrity over time.
  • SAFE starter packs — Makes it easy to adopt 2D storage by providing the core components needed to set up an organised system.
  • SAFE tube laser marker — Creates permanent identifiers that stay legible through freezing, handling and long-term archiving.
