Product Name	Barcode Sample Storage Box
Product Image
Product Overview	The Barcode Sample Storage Box is designed for organized storage, identification and tracking of veterinary, biological and livestock specimens. It can hold compatible barcoded storage tubes in a defined rack layout, allowing laboratories and commercial livestock operations to maintain clear sample positions and reliable traceability. Reference systems use a 96-position stackable rack format and can be paired with sample tubes carrying permanent 2D Data Matrix codes. Barcodes on individual tubes and on the rack itself can be integrated with compatible barcode readers and laboratory information systems to simplify sample registration, retrieval and archive management. The storage box is suitable for tissue samples, genomic materials, serum, plasma, DNA preparations and other veterinary laboratory specimens according to the selected tube configuration and storage protocol.
Key Features	Organized rack system for traceable veterinary and biological sample storage. Reference configuration accommodates 96 sample tubes in a compact rack format. Compatible with tubes carrying permanent high-contrast 2D Data Matrix barcodes. Barcoded rack configurations allow both rack-level and individual tube tracking. Stackable design helps optimize freezer, refrigerator and laboratory storage space. Clear protective lid allows visual inspection while helping protect stored samples. Latch-style construction supports secure closure during handling and transportation. Suitable for manual sample handling and compatible automated laboratory workflows. Useful for tissue, DNA, genomic, serum, plasma and other livestock diagnostic specimens. Compatible barcode readers can rapidly link stored samples with electronic databases.
Structural Components	Storage Rack Base: Provides individual positions for sample tubes and maintains an organized sample array. Tube Grid: Separates individual tubes and supports rapid location of specific specimens. Protective Lid: Covers the stored tubes and helps protect them during storage and transport. Latch Mechanism: Secures the lid to the rack during routine handling. Rack Barcode: Allows the entire box or rack to be electronically identified in compatible configurations. Tube Barcode Interface: Supports storage of individually 2D-coded tubes for sample-level traceability. Position Identification: Defined row and column locations facilitate sample retrieval and inventory control.
Working Principle	Each specimen is stored in a compatible sample tube and placed in a defined rack position. When 2D-coded tubes are used, each tube carries a unique machine-readable identifier that can be associated with animal information, specimen type, collection date, laboratory test or storage location. The rack can also carry its own barcode, allowing the laboratory to track both the individual tube and the complete storage box. Barcode readers can decode these identifiers and transfer them into a laboratory database or sample management system. The combination of a fixed rack position and electronic barcode identification improves sample retrieval efficiency and reduces the risk of manual identification errors during long-term storage, testing and archive management. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Use & Maintenance	Confirm that each sample tube has been correctly identified before placement into the storage rack. Record the tube barcode, rack identification and rack position in the laboratory or livestock sample management system. Place tubes vertically into the designated positions and ensure that each tube is fully seated. Close and secure the protective lid before transporting the rack or placing it into refrigerated or frozen storage. When retrieving specimens, scan the rack and individual tube barcode where applicable and verify the sample record before removing the tube. Storage temperature must follow the requirements of the specimen and the selected tube configuration. Clean reusable rack surfaces according to laboratory procedures and ensure they are completely dry before reuse. Barcodes should remain unobstructed and free from frost, residue or physical damage to maintain reliable automated scanning.
Product FAQ	What is a Barcode Sample Storage Box used for? It organizes multiple sample tubes in defined positions while supporting electronic identification and traceability for veterinary, biological and livestock specimens. How many tubes can the reference rack hold? A common reference configuration holds 96 tubes in a compact rack format. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} Can individual sample tubes have unique barcodes? Yes. Compatible storage tubes can feature permanent unique 2D Data Matrix codes for individual specimen identification. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} Can the storage rack itself be barcoded? Yes. Barcoded rack configurations are available so the entire rack can be tracked in addition to each individual tube. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} Is it suitable for livestock tissue samples? Yes. The system can be used for tissue, DNA, genomic and other veterinary laboratory specimens when suitable storage tubes and validated preservation conditions are selected. Can it be used in automated laboratories? Yes. Reference rack systems are designed for compatibility with barcode readers and can support automated liquid handling and high-throughput workflows. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} Can it be used for frozen sample storage?
