System

  • SAFE® Tube Coding

Triple security for your samples with triple coding of the tube:
a 1D side code, side plain text, and a 2D bottom code.
This ensures secure and easy identification and retrieval of your samples. Simply connect the coding with your sample using our SAFE® Tube or SAFE® Rack Reader.

  • Customizable Free Space

Additionally, there is ample space for custom coding, which can contain specific information about your lab or samples. The side black area is laser-etched with the LVL logo by default but can be customized for free upon request.

  • 2D Bottom Code and Protective Rim

The tubes are equipped with a unique 2D bottom code that enables fast and secure identification.
To ensure the integrity of your samples, the bottom code is protected by a special rim against mechanical influences.

Rack Coding

The new automation-friendly LVL SAFE® 2D rack offers maximum efficiency, safety, and quality in your laboratory.

Side Rack Coding:

The side coding as a 1D code and readable plain text on the rack allows for automatic and visual retrieval of your sample racks. Get to know our SAFE® Rack Reader.

Bottom Orientation Code:

Three new areas for additional information: The revised design includes three new areas to accommodate additional information about the rack and tubes, perfecting traceability and documentation.
