Redesigned SAFE® 2D Tubes

The innovative SAFE® 2D tubes have been thoroughly redesigned to offer top performance and user-friendliness.

Clearly identifiable racks and tubes secure your samples for decades when stored correctly.

In addition to visual differentiation through various cap colors, the tube features fixed coding, space for individual coding, and space for your logo/study project or similar. The tube coding ensures that your samples are triply secured and can be identified both visually (HR code) and by using the appropriate SAFE® readers (2D/1D code).

1D Side Code / HR Side Code The 1D side code matches the bottom coding of the tube and primarily secures the valuable sample contents. Additionally, the HR side code presents the coding in readable text. This triple assurance – side code, bottom code, and HR code – ensures that your samples are not only safe but also easily identifiable. 2D Bottom Code / Protective Rim The tube features a precise 2D bottom code for quick identification. A special protective rim shields the code from mechanical impacts and prevents scratches, ensuring the integrity of your samples. The ideal tube for your sample storage: Multiple coding options make your sample secure, traceable, and the modern tube design is automation-friendly. Show Tube Show Rack Space for Individual Coding The tube provides ample space for individual coding, allowing you to add specific information about your lab or samples. The black side surface is laser-etched with the LVL logo by default and can be customized to your specifications at no additional cost. THE PERFECT TUBE!

Perfect for Automation: The crescent-shaped guide rails of our racks allow tubes to be quickly and collision-free placed in our rack. 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. The rack code consists of unique, 12-digit codes. Show Tube Show Rack The revised design includes three new areas that can hold additional information about the rack and tubes to improve traceability and documentation.

The LVL Tube Laser Marker TLM 864:
Although the automation-friendly Data-Matrix code on the bottom of storage tubes has been standard for many years—and has greatly simplified sample handling—many users want to mark the tubes with their specific information. At the same time, they want to move away from time-consuming and unreliable labeling methods.

For this need, LVL has developed a fully automatic tube laser marker. The TLM 864 can automatically laser-mark SAFE® tubes in SBS 96, SBS 48, and SBS 24 formats from two sides and link the information in a database with the 2D code previously lasered during production. Up to 500 tubes per hour can be coded from nine SBS/ANSI positions.
