Thermo Scientific Sterilin quality-assured containers are aseptically manufactured under controlled, automated cleanroom conditions. The containers are designed for the safe handling of valuable or potentially hazardous samples, reducing the potential for contamination that could adversely affect analytical results. “With the tremendous growth in molecular biology, genomic and forensic research applications to support clinical diagnostic developments, laboratories are under increasing pressure to ensure safe, contamination-free handling of specimens,” said Eric Roman, president, laboratory products, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “This is why we’ve developed these new containers with sample safety, versatility and ergonomics in mind. Even the most sensitive samples can now be handled with maximum safety using the irradiated sterile variants of the innovative new Sterilin range of containers.” The new clear containers are manufactured with robust polypropylene and are compliant with 95kPa pressure requirements at ambient temperatures specified for the transport of diagnostic specimens. In addition, the containers are designed for ...
