Redesigned 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).

SAFE® XLX1800V 2D Tube for 1.8 ml Sample Storage in SBS 48 Rack
SAFE® XLX1800V with V-Bottom for Low Dead Volume
The cross-section of the SAFE® XLX1800V shows the characteristic V-shaped inner bottom of the tube. This design reduces dead volume and supports improved recovery of small residual sample amounts at the tube bottom. It is especially suitable for applications where high sample volume and efficient sample retrieval are both important.
SBS 48 Rack for SAFE® XLX1800V Tubes
The empty SBS 48 rack shows the standardized layout for SAFE® XLX1800V Tubes. The defined positions support reproducible workflows when loading, storing and processing the tubes. With this rack format, even larger sample volumes can be organized in a structured way and integrated into existing laboratory and automation workflows.

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.
