Designed to fit seamlessly into any lab environment, this labeler provides consistent results with minimal setup.
Boost efficiency without the complexity of fully automated systems. It’s the ideal choice for labs seeking a straightforward, dependable automated labeling solution.
The Axon 2 is a versatile semi-automated tube labeler designed for everyday laboratory workflows that balance efficiency with flexibility. It supports a wide range of tube sizes and labware types, making it well suited for research labs, clinical environments, and sample processing areas with changing demands. By simplifying tube identification and reducing handling errors, the Axon 2 provides a practical path to consistent, repeatable labeling without the complexity of fully automated systems.
The Axon 2 is designed for operator-initiated workflows using a push button or foot pedal. This hands-free control improves consistency while keeping the operator fully in charge of tube handling and placement. It’s an intuitive approach to automatic tube labeling that fits naturally into existing lab routines.
Built on the proven cab SQUIX platform, the Axon 2 pairs a thermal transfer printer with an integrated applicator for simple print-and-apply labeling. Labs already using a SQUIX can transition easily into automated tube labeling without redesigning their workflow. It’s a low-effort way to gain speed, accuracy, and repeatability.
The Axon 2 supports a broad range of tube sizes and is well suited for research, clinical, and sample management environments. Its flexible design accommodates changing projects and mixed labware without added complexity. This makes it a practical solution for labs that need reliability without full automation.
The Axon 2 is a semi-automated, manually operated labeler designed for labs seeking a reliable, user-friendly, print and apply solution. The Axon 2’s precision and ease of use make it an excellent choice for labs looking to enhance their labeling process without fully automating.
The Axon 2 is an ideal solution for labs requiring reliable labeling of a wide range of tube types. While it can label capped tubes, we don’t recommend it, as the cap may cause uneven label application. The Axon 2 is capable of labeling tubes within the following specifications:
Tube labels for the Axon 2 are designed to perform consistently across a wide range of tube sizes and operator-driven workflows. They feed smoothly through the print-and-apply mechanism and maintain the right balance of durability and flexibility for clean, secure application. With reliable adhesion and crisp barcode imaging, these labels support accurate sample tracking from initial preparation through downstream processing.
Every label is cut with exacting precision to ensure smooth feeding and flawless application. Consistent dimensions prevent jams, misalignment, or wasted labels, making die-cut accuracy essential for maintaining the speed and reliability of automated tube labeling systems.
The liner is engineered with the right balance of strength and flexibility to release labels cleanly while moving smoothly through the applicator. Optimized liner performance reduces errors, improves efficiency, and helps ensure that each label is applied consistently to every tube.
Ribbons are carefully matched to face stocks and adhesives to produce durable, scannable images. Proper ribbon compatibility ensures strong barcode readability, prevents smudging, and protects against chemical exposure, giving labs reliable performance throughout automated workflows.
When using an automated label applicator, the construction of the labels is crucial for reliable application. Labels must have the right stiffness—neither too rigid nor too flexible—to release cleanly from the liner and adhere properly. If a label is too thin, like some cryo labels, it may fail to release and remain attached to the liner rather than transferring to the tube, due to its floppiness.
Precision in die-cutting is also vital, as improper cutting can affect label separation. For labs integrating automated systems, it’s essential to re-qualify existing labels or opt for labels that have been specifically engineered and tested for automated use. This ensures consistent performance and accurate sample identification within the automated process.
Answer a few quick questions to help us understand your needs. Whether you’re exploring automation or actively searching for the right system, we’ll guide you in the right direction.
The Axon 2 is ideal for labs looking to improve efficiency without overhauling their workflows. It brings automatic print-and-apply labeling to everyday lab operations while keeping control in the hands of the operator. By improving placement consistency and reducing manual handling, the Axon 2 helps labs label more accurately and work more confidently as volumes grow.
The Axon 2 delivers precise label placement, ensuring that every tube is accurately labeled to meet lab standards.
This labeler simplifies the print-and-apply process, offering a dependable solution for efficient sample processing workflows.
Operators can easily place tubes and use the push button to label each one quickly and safely, making the Axon 2 simple to operate in any lab setting.
The Axon 2 is ideal for laboratories seeking an easy entry into automated labeling. While it requires the operator to place each tube and initiate the labeling process, the Axon 2’s design ensures that labels are applied with precision. This accuracy is crucial in preventing scanning errors in lab instruments, where a misaligned label could cause a scan to fail and result in unexpected downtime.
Although the Axon 2’s cycle time includes the variable time of operator involvement, its consistent performance minimizes the risk of errors that could slow down your workflow. The labeler’s semi-automated design allows it to fit easily into existing lab setups without requiring major changes. The Axon 2’s balance of manual operation and automation makes it a versatile tool for all labs.
