Thermal printing is commonly used in a variety of industries—but which one should you use for your barcode labels? Direct thermal or thermal transfer? We’ll help you answer that question below with relevant details about both print technologies—their features and ideal applications. What is direct thermal print technology? Direct thermal is a print technology that […]

In the ever-evolving landscape of laboratory operations, precision and efficiency are indispensable. Print and apply technology has emerged as a cornerstone solution for labs seeking to enhance identification and tracking processes. This article navigates through the intricacies of print and apply workstations, exploring their significance in laboratory environments and providing practical insights into setting up […]

A convenient color coding system or a simple logo can be a great addition to your laboratory labeling strategy. Previously, printing color labels in-house wasn’t feasible for the average facility—cost, real estate and compromised durability made pre-printed options or forgoing color altogether, easier to justify. Whether you need to accommodate information on short notice, or […]

If you’re looking into the Eclipse Series it’s likely you’re looking for some way to ensure precise label placement and streamline your processes. Doing so can help you reach larger goals such as increased productivity, throughput volumes and a closer alignment to lean principles. We teamed up with an automation engineering group to build the […]

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 […]

To simply answer the question posed in the title—yes, there are printers out there that support both barcodes and RFID—but don’t leave just yet! Wondering what benefits are associated with combining RFID with your in-house barcode strategy, or, which printers are capable of both printing and encoding? Then you might want to stick around. Why […]

Ensuring success when implementing an automated labeling solution means investing in the right equipment. If you’re trying to find a low-medium volume solution to limit the amount of human involvement in your labeling process, keep reading to learn more about the Tube-Pro automated tube and vial labeler. The Tube Pro is our benchtop tube and […]

Most thermal transfer printers offer models with varying print resolutions. When comparing different models, you will see figures ranging from 203 to 300, even 600 dpi. Well, what do these numbers mean? Do you need the highest print resolution to ensure a successful scan? In this article, we will explain dpi and its role in […]

The modular flexibility of the cab SQUIX benchtop label printer is one of the most significant advantages of using this model in your laboratory. Whether you are looking to improve accuracy, increase throughput, or simply make your labeling process more efficient—adding an accessory to your cab SQUIX printer can make a considerable difference. For example, […]

In the dynamic and data-intensive world of laboratories, where precision and efficiency are paramount, two well-established methodologies—Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma—have gained prominence. These principles, initially rooted in manufacturing and process industries, have found their way into laboratory settings, guiding the pursuit of operational excellence and scientific rigor. When it comes to laboratories, the integration […]
