Ziath introduces CryzoTraq tubes for cryogenic storage of biological specimens

Ziath has released a range of cryogenic storage tubes. The CryzoTraq tubes are designed for high integrity cryogenic storage of biological specimens at temperatures down to -196°C.

CryzoTraq 2D barcoded tubes are manufactured in a Class 7 cleanroom using medicalgrade polypropylene. Each batch is beta radiation sterilized by an electron beam, eliminating potential biological contaminants from the product preparation workflow, ensuring that the cryotubes are free from RNase, DNase and other unwanted substances.

Ziath’s 2D barcoded tubes are guaranteed leak-free and feature a proprietary 2-stage injection moulded cap that avoids using traditional sealing solutions such as O-rings.

As a consequence, under storage conditions, even in liquid nitrogen storage systems, this advanced sealing solution prevents contamination or loss of samples.

CryzoTraq 2D barcoded tubes are suitable for use with most cryoracking systems as they are available in 2 ml and 5 ml standard size formats. These advanced storage tubes are supplied with both internal and external threaded caps, ensuring compatibility with almost any capping / decapping system.

All CryzoTraq tubes have a 2D Datamatrix barcode inserted in the base of the tube. The insert is secured in place by the use of ultrasound to weld it into place. During the manufacturing process, the linear barcode is printed onto the side of the tube first, and the 2D code is automatically generated from the linear barcode therefore ensuring the two barcodes will always be the same with no errors.

Ziath introduces CryzoTraq tubes for cryogenic storage of biological specimens

The EURORealTime SARS-CoV-2 from EUROIMMUN is now validated for use with saliva as sample material as an alternative to throat swabs. Collection of saliva specimens is easier and less distressing for patients than taking nasal or throat swabs, especially for children.

The CE-marked assay provides fast and simple real-time PCR-based detection of SARS-CoV-2 in RNA isolated from the patient samples. Reverse transcription and real-time PCR are performed in one step, so that only one reaction is required per sample.

The test provides high sensitivity due to simultaneous detection of two defined target sequences in the ORF1ab and N genes of the viral genome. The variants alpha (B.1.1.7 lineage), beta (b.1.351 lineage), gamma (P.1 lineage) and delta (B1.617.2 lineage) can be reliably detected.

The test contains an internal amplification control, which serves as an inhibition and extraction control. A SARS-CoV-2 positive control provided in the test kit is analysed as an external control in every test run ensuring dependable results. The complementary EURORealTime Analysis software provides fully automated and standardised evaluation and documentation of results, including all control results. Comprehensive automation options for sample preparation, PCR setup and PCR performance are available.
