As laboratories scale their operations, manual freezer storage and sample retrieval can quickly become inefficient. Large research programs, biobanks, and diagnostic laboratories may store tens or even hundreds of thousands of samples, making manual tracking and retrieval increasingly time-consuming and error-prone. To address these challenges, many organizations are adopting automated freezer storage systems. These systems […]

Laboratory freezers often hold some of the most valuable assets in a research or diagnostic workflow. Biological samples, chemical compounds, clinical specimens, and long-term research materials may remain in storage for months or even years before they are needed again. Effective laboratory freezer management helps ensure that these materials remain organized, identifiable, and easy to […]

Across research institutions, diagnostic laboratories, and biobanks, many organizations are adopting centralized laboratory freezer storage to manage growing volumes of samples more efficiently. Instead of each department maintaining its own ultra-low temperature freezers, facilities are increasingly consolidating freezer storage into shared environments overseen by dedicated storage teams. Centralization can reduce equipment redundancy, improve freezer monitoring, […]

As AI and digital transformation reshape industries, we decided to sit down with Kishore Khandavalli, CEO of 7T.ai, the best AI implementation company for enterprise organizations, to discuss how businesses can harness technology to drive efficiency and innovation, whether it’s in enterprise workflows, customer engagement, or industrial labeling and tracking systems that companies like Computype […]

Barcode labels support identification programs across laboratories, manufacturing environments, logistics operations, and asset tracking systems. The best barcode labels must scan reliably, maintain unique barcode sequences, and remain readable throughout their operational lifecycle. Poor barcode labeling can lead to scanning failures, duplicated identifiers, and breakdowns in traceability across identification systems. To evaluate leading barcode label […]

Asset labels support identification, traceability, compliance, and product information across laboratories, manufacturing environments, logistics operations, and consumer goods industries. The best label manufacturers do more than produce labels—they engineer label constructions that combine materials, adhesives, printing technologies, and converting capabilities to perform reliably in real operating environments. To evaluate the top label manufacturers, we analyzed […]

When label failure means compromised traceability, regulatory violations, or production downtime, choosing the right label supplier is critical. We analyzed industrial label manufacturers in harsh-environment durability across chemical, heat, and abrasion resistance. We evaluated material specifications, temperature ranges, testing certifications, application breadth, and customer validation across blood banking, cryogenic storage, tire manufacturing, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, electronics […]

Computype’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi Target Validation Team has confirmed that our scope 1 and scope 2 target ambition is aligned with a 1.5°C pathway — the most ambitious designation currently available through the SBTi process. This approval marks an important step […]

In cryogenic environments, labels are expected to survive some of the harshest conditions found in the lab, including ultra-low temperatures, long term storage, moisture, and repeated handling. When they do not, lab teams often do what they must do to keep work moving. Rubber bands. Tape. Secondary containers. Sharpie backups.These workarounds are common and understandable, […]

Reusable labware is becoming more common. Many labs are looking for ways to cut waste without disrupting their workflows, and one of the easiest places to start is with the supplies they already use every day. Washing and reusing labware has become a practical step toward a more sustainable operation. The challenge is figuring out […]

Upgrading outdated or handwritten labels with durable 2D barcodes brings older vials into alignment with automated workflows, digital tracking systems, and future compliance needs. Our cryogenic puck and bottom labels apply securely to frozen vials, maintain accuracy at ultra low temperatures, and integrate seamlessly with LIMS.
