Whether it’s the object you want tagged or surrounding objects, their material make up can greatly impact the capabilities of an RFID system. Because of this, it’s not only important to design an RFID system, but to build that system to accommodate your unique processes and environment.

Capillary Electrophoresis is a method of separating molecules that is widely used in DNA and PCR reaction testing. The nature of this testing method requires a variety of consumable products that must be used under strict manufacturer specifications. When manufacturer specifications aren’t followed, test results can suffer from loss of resolution (LOR) and in extreme […]

As a leading provider of barcode and labeling solutions for laboratories, we frequently encounter inquiries about best practices for barcode application. These conversations invariably lead to an in-depth analysis of the current labeling practices within a facility and the exploration of alternative barcoding methods. One common question that often arises is, “What are the different […]

If you’re considering an RFID solution for your identification and data inventory processes, you’re looking at making an investment in more than just hardware and software. You’re investing in protecting and processing your data effectively and efficiently.

If your lab is utilizing cryogenic storage to preserve biological samples you might find that a reliable labeling solution can take some time and effort to find. Even when applied properly, many labels aren’t able to withstand the harsh conditions of the cryogenic storage environment. Even those that are engineered to stand up to extreme […]

Cryogenic and freezer storage for high-value lab samples can pose a challenge. Samples that need to be stored in extreme cold need to be properly and carefully labeled in order to maintain the integrity of the sample, but getting labels to stick in those conditions can be tricky. Both your tubes and cryo or freezer […]

Have you ever traveled to a country where you don’t speak the language? It can be pretty hard to communicate. Sometimes you may be unable to get your point across at all. It’s the same with your RFID system, except your tags communicate using protocol instead of language. If your RFID tags and reader don’t align according […]

If you read our other blog post about ISO/ANSI scores, you’re familiar with what an ISO/ANSI score is and what it means with the grading criteria, testing conditions and your processes considered. After releasing that post we learned there were some questions left unanswered, so we thought we’d take a moment to address them.

Lean manufacturing principles are all about looking at existing processes and flows through the lens of a microscope with the intention of maximizing value while simultaneously minimizing waste. There are seemingly endless tactics and opportunities within almost every manufacturing process to achieve big gains, so the question then becomes, where do you start? Within the […]

RFID’s impact on tracking and identification technology is growing every day as it continues to improve efficiencies and streamline processes for companies around the world. RFID is bringing improved speed and efficiency to tracking, identification and automation systems with its variety of unique abilities.

If you’re involved in purchasing barcodes you’ve probably heard of an ISO/ANSI score, but what exactly are these scores? And what do they mean? Here at Computype we want to make sure our customers understand what they are investing in and when it comes to ISO/ANSI scores, things can become a little bit tricky. An […]
