Sample Identification

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Upgrading outdated or handwritten labels with durable 2D barcodes brings older vials into alignment with automated workflows, digital tracking systems, and future compliance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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

A new ultra-high recovery vial is now available from Worldwide Glass Resources®, offering a refined solution for labs seeking the highest possible sample recovery. Building on the success of high recovery vials, this latest advancement continues the industry’s pursuit of precision by pushing the limits of vial design, engineering, and specialty glass production.

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 […]

In the pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare industries, where precise temperature control is critical for vaccines, biologics, and personalized medicine, cold chain labeling ensures product integrity and regulatory compliance. These sensitive materials must be accurately tracked and properly labeled throughout their journey to ensure they remain viable and effective. Cold chain environments introduce extreme conditions that […]

Labeling frozen tubes is a frustrating but necessary task in many labs. Whether you’re receiving cryogenic samples from a biobank, merging collections, or replacing a failed label, sometimes you have no choice but to apply a new label to an already frozen tube. The problem? Frost and moisture prevent adhesion, and most cryo labels—while designed […]

Cryogenic labels are essential for maintaining sample identification in laboratories, biobanks, and pharmaceutical storage, where temperatures can reach as low as -196°C. In these environments, standard labels quickly fail—adhesives lose tack, barcodes degrade, and samples become untraceable. Reliable cryogenic labeling solutions prevent these issues by using materials designed to perform in extreme cold. Durable label constructions […]
