Sample Identification

As a leader in laboratory barcode and labeling solutions, we are often asked, “What are the different methods of barcoding microwell plates?” The short answer is that various approaches depend on your business’s environment, volume, and processes. This article will outline the pros and cons of different microwell plate labeling methods: labeling by hand, label […]

Sample preparation, a labor intensive and time-consuming process, can be a bottleneck in achieving accurate results in chromatography experiments. Whether your lab is conducting gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or another chromatography method, the process of accurately labeling your autosampler vials, from 2 mL vials up to larger headspace vials, is a crucial […]

When it comes to in vivo research in drug development, meticulous planning, care for animal models, and the management of multiple studies simultaneously create a complex web of challenges for scientists. From following treatment schedules, breeding for specific traits, and daily care routines, the journey through an animal study is a carefully orchestrated symphony of […]

When it comes to small molecule drug discovery, precision is vital and every moment counts. As scientists work tirelessly in their labs to discover the secrets of compounds and pave the way for ground-breaking pharmaceuticals, the last thing they need is to worry about lost compounds, misidentified fractions, and poorly labeled assay plates. These challenges […]

Automation plays an important role in many labs, adding value in the worlds of storage, liquid handling, and even labeling. Many labs have already embraced this advancement of technology and are now moving towards integrated solutions that unite manual and automated workflows – and for good reason. It’s undeniable that laboratory automation provides both tangible […]

Barcodes are the most popular tool in Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) when it comes to sample identification and tracking. These universally recognized codes play an important role in ensuring the precise identification and management of your most valuable assets, including your samples. Barcoding is already used in many modern laboratories, helping to streamline […]

When it comes to sample identification in the lab, most often you’ll find labels applied to the sides of tubes and vials—and for good reason. A long and narrow barcode and line of text fit perfectly along the side of most specimen containers. However, there are situations where this traditional approach simply isn’t enough or […]

Laser marking technology is an advanced marking technology that can be used for barcoding and identifying both glass and plastic labware. offers a semi-permanent and versatile identification solution suitable for nearly any labware type. Whether you need to mark a unique material, an oddly shaped container, or just a standard piece of labware, a laser […]

Fused barcode marking technology is a virtually permanent marking solution for glass specimen containers. Its durability rivals the ceramic IDs also offered through our pre-barcoded labware service, but some labs may find it more accessible. By permanently bonding to your glassware, fused barcodes can protect the identity and integrity of your high-value samples for the entire […]

Ceramic barcoding technology provides a permanent solution for high-value medical assets. This marking technology is best suited for glass vials and is the most durable solution within our pre-barcoded labware service. Because the bond between the glassware and the ceramic label is permanent, Ceramic IDs can survive extreme temperature cycles and chemical exposure without affecting […]

Direct mark technology offers a mid-range, semi-permanent, wildly versatile identification solution suitable for nearly any labware type. Whether it’s plastic microplates, glass vials, or conical tubes, direct mark technology can suit your entire suite of labware. Though it is deemed semi-permanent, direct mark IDs are highly durable. They will not scratch or fade when exposed […]
