Innovators in sample storage & preservation

Micronic is a global leader in high-quality sample storage solutions, dedicated to advancing scientific research and improving quality of life. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Lelystad, the Netherlands, with additional manufacturing operations in the United States, Micronic designs, engineers, and produces premium labware and precision equipment entirely in-house. This hands-on control of development and production ensures exceptional quality, fast responsiveness, and long-term reliability across their entire product line.

Innovation has defined Micronic from the beginning. The company set early industry standards with the 96-format tube rack (later adopted as the official SBS format), introduced the robust alphanumeric tube identification system, and pioneered unique 2D coding technologies for sample traceability. Their continued commitment to innovation has resulted in breakthroughs such as hybrid coding tubes, award-winning recapping systems, the ULT cryogenic rack range, and the first sustainable, 99% renewed-material Eco-Friendly Choice racks.

Quality and compliance are central to Micronic’s manufacturing philosophy. All labware is produced in NEN-EN-ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanroom environments using only virgin, FDA-approved raw materials that meet strict international standards, including USP Class VI and European Pharmacopoeia guidelines. Products undergo rigorous AQL testing, offer guaranteed-unique laser-etched barcodes, and are routinely verified by independent laboratories to be free of detectable RNase and DNase and to have minimal endotoxin levels. Many Micronic solutions also comply with IATA requirements for diagnostic specimen transport and can be supplied gamma-irradiated or ethylene oxide-treated on request.

Micronic’s values, innovation, passion, excellence, and expertise are reflected in every aspect of their business. With four decades of experience, a certified ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 integrated quality and environmental management system, and a dedication to sustainable practices, Micronic continues to deliver the reliable, future-focused sample storage solutions trusted by laboratories worldwide.
