However, the actual sample-containing tubes have been relatively forgotten. Sample tubes are critical components of biobanking. When selecting a tube for biobanking, one must consider: - The physical properties of the raw material - The potential for biomolecule adsorption onto the tube surface - The capacity of the tube to preserve sample volume during ultra-low temperature storage - The ability to imprint a clear datamatrix barcode onto the tube To learn more about how to evaluate the suitability of sample tubes for biobanking, download this guide from **Greiner Bio-One**.   [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Foffers.the-scientist.com%2Fsample-storage-tubes-as-quality-critical-components-in-biobanking-greiner%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Foffers.the-scientist.com%2Fsample-storage-tubes-as-quality-critical-components-in-biobanking-greiner%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Foffers.the-scientist.com%2Fsample-storage-tubes-as-quality-critical-components-in-biobanking-greiner%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Foffers.the-scientist.com%2Fsample-storage-tubes-as-quality-critical-components-in-biobanking-greiner%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Sample%20Storage%20Tubes%20as%20Quality-Critical%20Components%20in%20Biobanking) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Foffers.the-scientist.com%2Fsample-storage-tubes-as-quality-critical-components-in-biobanking-greiner%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Foffers.the-scientist.com%2Fsample-storage-tubes-as-quality-critical-components-in-biobanking-greiner%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) *The Scientist*needs the contact information you provide us to contact you about our products and services.
