Tissue Collection Tool

“Collect & Store” – The multifunctional tube for collecting and storing solid samples or extracted substances.

The field of fisheries genetics has significantly advanced in recent years, primarily due to technological progress in genetic sequencing. With the SAFE® 96 Tissue Collection Tool, it is now possible to genotype a large number of tissue samples with many genetic markers at relatively low costs to determine population or stock structure. This has sparked interest in applying genetic methods to identify fish stocks to define appropriate levels for the aggregation of assessment data and the implementation of management measures.

With the increase in sampling efforts and the development of international genetic sampling programs, there is a need for specialized tools like the SAFE® 96 Tissue Collection Tool for genetic sample collection. These tools are designed to ensure that a standardized collection and storage method is applied, guaranteeing high tissue sample quality and enabling downstream automation of sample processing.

The SAFE® 96 Tissue Collection Tool thus supports efficient and reliable tissue collection, which is essential for modern fisheries genetics.

2D-Coded Tubes and a Unique Sample Collection Tool

The SAFE® 96 Tissue Collection System from LVL was developed in collaboration with European fisheries scientists and fisheries industry organizations and represents a significant advancement in the collection and storage of fish tissue samples for genetic analyses. The novel system is based on LVL’s SAFE® biobanking consumables and combines a standard SBS rack with 96 barcoded tubes and 2D-barcoded tubes with internal threads. Notably, the genetic sample collection device is integrated into the screw cap of the tubes.

This unique sample collection tool is specifically designed for use on fish. The pointed tip and rear-facing blade allow the collection of a tissue sample of approximately 30 mg under the skin of the fish being sampled, avoiding surface contamination. The tools, tubes, and racks are pre-assembled and delivered sterile to ensure the highest quality and safety. The SAFE® 96 Tissue Collection System offers an efficient and reliable solution for tissue sample collection and storage in modern fisheries genetics.

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!

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.
