Sustainable Labware Starts with the Right Removable Label
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 […]
How to Re-Label Frozen Samples for Automation Compatibility
Upgrading outdated or handwritten labels with durable 2D barcodes brings older vials into alignment with automated workflows, digital tracking systems, and future compliance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.
Ensuring Compliance Through Smarter Labeling
In a regulated lab, compliance isn’t just about checking boxes, it’s about building systems that naturally prevent errors, protect data integrity, and ensure reproducibility. Whether your lab aligns with GLP, GCP, CLIA, ISO 15189, or FDA expectations, the principles behind compliance are the same: maintain control, consistency, and traceability across every sample, process, and data […]
Navigating Labeling Requirements in Veterinary Reference Labs
Veterinary reference labs operate at the intersection of science, precision, and speed. Every day, thousands of samples arrive, each carrying vital information that will shape a diagnosis, treatment, or research outcome. In this fast-paced environment, labeling isn’t just another step in the workflow; it is the backbone of traceability, compliance, and trust. A single mislabeled […]
Labeling Challenges in On-Site Animal Health Sampling
In animal health, sample accuracy starts the moment you collect it. Whether you’re drawing blood from cattle for disease surveillance, swabbing a dog’s mouth in a mobile clinic, or collecting wildlife samples in the field, labeling is the vital precursor to achieve reliable results. But here’s the truth: field conditions make labeling harder than most […]
Barcoding Pipettes: A Key Step in Ensuring GLP Compliance and Experiment Integrity
In any laboratory, ensuring accuracy and reliability in experimental results is vital. One of the key components in maintaining such standards is effective pipette management. When adhering to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), laboratories must maintain precise records of equipment usage and their condition. However, this can be challenging due to the high number of pipettes, […]
Streamlined Accessioning with Comprehensive Labware Labeling
Optimizing efficiency is essential for the success of any high-throughput laboratory. From managing incoming samples to ensuring accurate data capture, every step in the accessioning process plays a role in research integrity and operational success. Yet, many labs struggle with bottlenecks, duplicate sequences, chain of custody issues, and even sample loss — all stemming from ineffective […]
Solving Freezer Rack Labeling Failures for a Leading Biotech Company
At Computype, we understand the challenges of labeling for cryogenic storage conditions. When a longtime customer — a global biotechnology company based in Boston — came to us with freezer rack labeling failures, we knew we could help. Their research depends on accurate sample management, especially in cryogenic storage, where long-term sample integrity is critical. […]
Transforming Blood Tracking: From Handwritten Labels to Reliable Barcoding
