Brand Story
Micronic’s business rests on a simple, unforgiving requirement: a stored sample is only as good as your ability to find it, identify it, and trust that its container has protected it — sometimes for decades. The company has spent four decades engineering around that requirement.
Its signature contribution is the 2D data-matrix coded storage tube: each tube carries a permanent, machine-readable identity in its base, so a rack of 96 samples can be scanned and verified in one pass. Around this core the company builds the complete workflow — racks in standard automation footprints, readers, capping equipment and software integration — which is why Micronic tubes sit inside biobanks, compound libraries and clinical repositories worldwide.
As an independent manufacturer, Micronic controls its own production in the Netherlands and has pushed steadily toward sustainability, with recent innovations including TPE lyophilisation caps and refillable rack systems that cut plastic waste. For Malaysian institutions building biobanks or structured sample collections, Micronic represents the European benchmark in traceable storage.
