Abstract: [Problem to be solved] To provide a sample storage tube wherein a lid is a push stopper lid type securing the area for writing two-dimensional code. [Solution] A sample storage tube 100 comprise a tube body 120 for storing a sample; a push stopper lid body 110 for capping the upper opening 121 of the tube body 120; and a hinge body 130 for connecting the tube body 120 and the push stopper lid body 110. The push stopper lid body 110 and the tube body 120 and the hinge body 130 are molded in one piece, wherein a part of them is formed by the light transmissive material and the other part of them is formed by the opaque material in which the information code can be written. The information writable areas are installed at least on the upper surface of the push stopper lid body 110 and the bottom surface 123 of the tube body 120. The information code can be written on both the upper surface of the push stopper lid body 110 and the bottom surface 123 of the tube body 120.

Abstract: [Problem to be solved] To provide a sample storage tube wherein the two-dimensional code and the wireless IC chip are equipped, and there is low interference between the two elements, which can ensure data reading and writing accuracy and reliability. [Solution] A sample storage tube 100 comprise a tube body 120 for storing a sample; a lid 110 for capping the upper opening of the tube body; an information writable area 124 for writing information installed to a bottom surface of the tube body; wherein the information writable area 124 is arrayed in a peripheral portion of the bottom 123; and an information non-writable area 125 in which any information cannot be written is secured in a center part of the bottom 123. Plural of printed information codes 130 are printed on the information writable area 124.

Abstract: A samples storage system for pharmaceutical development in which the usable volumes of ultramicrotubes (384 tubes) are increased and smooth insertion and extraction of ultramicrotubes is possible irrespective of the positions of the ultramicrotubes. The samples storage system includes tubes in which samples are sealed and a storage rack for vertically accommodating a plurality of the tubes in a grid pattern. Each tube is of a rectangular hollow tubular cross-section and the intersect is tapered toward the bottom portion of the tube. Corner portions of the outer four side surfaces of the tubes are chamfered. The storage rack has engagement partition walls forming open-ended sections in a grid pattern inside the rack frame. The height of the walls is smaller than the length of the tube, and tube-supporting pins project vertically from the intersections of the grid.

Abstract: A cap for a microtube, which can be automatically aligned by an alignment plate for insertion in a correct orientation into the open end of the microtube held in a micro tube rack. The plate has partitions in a grid which produces a matrix of cells having a pitch defined by the spacing between the partitions. The cap 100 has an plug portion 120, which is adapted to be inserted into the open end of the microtube which is held in a rack having a matrix of wells congruent with the matrix of cells in the alignment plate. A grip portion 110 of the cap has an outer circumferential diameter larger than an outer circumferential diameter of the plug portion 120, so that when the cap is inserted in the microtube, the grip portion protrudes from the open end of the microtube. The entire length of the cap 100 is longer than the pitch of the alignment plate and shorter than twice the pitch.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical sample storage system in which the accommodation volume of a case is increased is disclosed and claimed. The molding of the storage rack is easy. The cases in the storage rack are locked in place and will not fall out even if the storage rack is turned upside down. Placing and removing cases from the storage rack is highly accurate. The sample storage system is sealed and the storage rack vertically accommodates a plurality of cases in a matrix. The cases are rectangular in cross-section and are hollow. The cases are tapered toward the bottom portion of the case and the outer surfaces of the cases are chamfered. The storage rack has a lower grate-shaped bottom portion which is partitioned by cross members. The bottom portion of the case being fitted into one partitioned portion of the grate-shaped bottom portion and has case supporting pins vertically provided upward from each intersection of gratings or cross members of the grated bottom portion.
