Overview
|
Quality checked
Every tube meets our exacting standards
for readability. Every barcode is checked
to guarantee uniqueness across the
AlteTubeTM range.
|
Purity assurance
Clean room production. All tubes are
manufactured from medical grade virgin
polypropylene and certified DNA, RNA,
DNase, RNase, Endotoxin (Pyrogen) free.
|
|
Razor-sharp clarity
Precise design and manufacturing
ensure all tubes and rack lids have
exceptional transparency.
|
Additive free
AlteTubeTM products and packaging
components are certified free from heavy
metals, phthalates, latex, and Bisphenol A.
|
|
Product development
Creating new and custom product solutions
to meet future demands.
|
Quality management
Our manufacturing facility is ISO 9001:2015
and ISO 14001:2015 accredited.

Anatomy of a 2D DataMatrix barcode
|
Modules
Black and white squares
represent the data.
|
 |
Clock pattern
Dotted lines enable
decoding of the pattern.
|
|
Finder bars
L-shaped frame that
locates the code.
|
Quiet zone
Prevents any visual
interference.
|
|
Code recovery built into ECC200
Reed-Solomon error correction reconstructs and verifies
data for improved accuracy. DataMatrix codes can still be
decoded if damaged by 30%.
|
Benefits of 2D DataMatrix barcodes
— Never misreads or reports a wrong number.
— Readable at contrast levels as low as 20%.
— Significantly smaller compared to 1D barcodes.

What is the difference between
AlteCleanTMand AlteCleanTM
Sterile products?
AlteCleanTM
Manufactured in a clean room environment
and certified free of non-viable biologics.
AlteClean consumables exhibit no
detectable DNA, RNA, DNase, RNase, or
endotoxins.
AlteCleanTM Sterile
We use E-beam sterilisation which
inactivates microorganisms either by causing
microbial death as a direct effect of the
destruction of a vital molecule or by an
indirect chemical reaction. This is done in
addition to AlteCleanTM.

Innovative manufacturing process
AlteTube SBS format tubes are
manufactured by a highly specialised
and automated process, known as
dual injection. Dual injection optimises
copolymerisation of clear and black
polypropylene during one cycle.
Creating a powerful molecular bond
between the clear tube and the black
base. The result is the single piece
AlteTube.
|
 |
Permanent 2D barcode
The 2D DataMatrix barcode is laser
etched on the black base of the tube.
This highly durable 2D barcode is
designed to survive in the harshest of
lab environments.
|
| It’s all about the closure | |
 |
Internal thread screw caps
Manufactured by dual injection of ThermoPlastic Elastomer
(TPE) and medical grade polypropylene.
Exceptional performance
One-piece cap provides a superior fixed seal. Eliminating
the risk of leakage or cross-threading.
|
 |
External thread screw caps
Increased working sample volume per tube compared to
internal thread tubes in most storage conditions.
Clever cap design
Works to provide a deforming compression seal from a
thread which secures very quickly
|
 |
Septum cap mats
96 individual TPE caps for 96 SBS format tubes.
Easy application and removal
Flexible backing mat allows simultaneous capping of 96
tubes. Automation friendly
|
 |
SBS format racks
Store 96 tubes in 8 x12 rack format or 48 tubes in 8 x 6
rack format. Compatible with automation equipment for
processing of 6, 8, 12, 48 or 96 tubes.
International SLAS/ANSI standards
Rack tolerances are precisely checked using advanced
measuring equipment.
|
 |

Temperature range
-196°C to 121°C.
|
 |
Rack identification
Individual racks are identified by one unique code in three
formats. Embedded 2D barcode on the rack base with
matching 1D barcode and human readable code on the
rack – A1 short side.
100% quality checks
Every rack barcode is checked for readability and
uniqueness across the AlteTube range.
|
 |
