Microplate labeling requires precision, durability, and resistance to extreme lab conditions. Our labels are engineered for secure adhesion and long-term readability, whether applied before or after sample processing.
Designed for high-throughput labs, our microplate labels stay reliable from storage to analysis. No matter your workflow, we provide the materials, adhesives, and printing options to match your requirements.
Whether you prefer blank labels for on-site printing, fully printed label sets, or pre-marked plates, there’s a solution to match your needs. Each approach supports accuracy, efficiency, and reliable tracking — depending on how you work.
Print what you need, when you need it. Compatible with thermal transfer ribbons and lab printers, these labels offer flexibility for labs that manage variable data, evolving workflows, or on-demand identification.
Barcodes, text, and color are printed in advance using high-resolution technologies like digital and flexographic. Pre-printed labels save time, reduce print errors, and ensure a consistent, scannable image across all your tubes.
Ideal for high-throughput or regulated labs, these plates arrive ready to use with permanent barcodes or human-readable IDs already in place. Skip the labeling step entirely and reduce the risk of label failure.
Sized precisely for common well plate formats to ensure clear identification without obstructing wells or interfering with stacking.
Consistent sizing and alignment support smooth integration with plate readers, stackers, and robotic handling systems.
Easily label all surfaces of the plate, including barcoding on the short sides and color indicators or text on the top or bottom.
Microplate labels endure friction from robotic handling, lidding tools, and plate stackers in high-throughput workflows.
Thermal and chemical stability preserves printed content during washes, centrifugation, and harsh reagents.
Extended adhesion performance supports long-term cold storage and repeated reads across reuse.
Compatible with Scinomix MP2, cab SQUIX, and other auto labelers for standardized, accurate plate marking.
Labels reliably adhere to flat or skirted plates, minimizing curl and misalignment during robotic transfers.
Improve automation uptime with precise placements that integrate smoothly into complex workflows or staged batches.
Differentiate plates by workflow stage, lab section, or reuse status with clear, bold color choices.
Use color blocks, tints, or indicators to assist with sortation, cycle validation, or audit-readiness.
Compatible with both color-on-demand printing and professionally pre-printed formats for consistent, clean color cues.
Support traceability at the plate and well level with labels optimized for high-density barcode printing.
Maintain scanning reliability even through cold storage, sterilization cycles, or chemical exposure during cleanup.
Formats fit tight labeling areas without compromising legibility or durability under repeat scan conditions.
Options for 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates, including deep well and divisible formats.
Support for top, side, or dual-position labels—even on curved or beveled surfaces.
Laminated, removable, or wrap-around constructions for added functionality and protection.

From freezer storage to thermal sealing, microplate labeling demands precision materials and optimized performance. Each layer of the label—from face stock to adhesive—plays a role in maintaining legibility, adhesion, and compliance across automated, high-throughput environments.
Labels remain secure and legible in ultra-low temperature freezers and cryogenic environments, protecting data through cold chain workflows and long-term biobanking of assay plates.
Formulated to withstand exposure to alcohols, detergents, DMSO, and aggressive solvents during plate washing or compound handling processes in high-throughput screening and analytical labs.
Survive autoclaving, gamma irradiation, and chemical sterilants without peeling, fading, or smearing—ideal for microbiology, cell culture, and other aseptic plate-based workflows.
Microplate labels require face stocks that resist warping, abrasion, and exposure to chemicals, all while maintaining crisp readability on flat or lightly contoured surfaces. Polyester is the most common choice, offering excellent heat stability and resistance to plate sealing processes like thermal or adhesive sealing. For high-throughput settings, dimensional stability ensures barcodes remain scannable even after repeated freeze-thaw cycles or centrifugation. Available in white, clear, or metalized options depending on workflow and identification requirements.
Plates may be made from polypropylene, polystyrene, or coated materials—each with distinct surface energy characteristics. Acrylic adhesives offer excellent long-term durability and chemical resistance, while rubber-based adhesives may be used where immediate tack is prioritized. Some constructions include blended adhesives with enhanced cold flow for deep-freeze storage or aggressive bonding to skirted or raised rims. Additives like tackifiers and plasticizers fine-tune adhesive behavior for different workflows, including incubation and sterilization.
Precoats are used to promote ink adhesion and ensure durable imaging when printing small-format labels or high-density barcodes. Topcoats can be added for scratch resistance or increased protection from solvents, ethanol, and disinfectants. For plates used in workflows involving frequent wiping, washing, or reagent exposure, a clear overlaminate shields the printed surface without compromising barcode readability. Laminated or topcoated constructions are especially beneficial for multi-cycle processes like compound screening or PCR.
On-demand thermal transfer printing allows for high-resolution barcoding, variable data, and serialized identifiers. Resin-based ribbons are commonly selected for their resistance to alcohols, detergents, and heat. In pre-printed applications, UV-cured and flexographic inks deliver full-color plate coding, branding, and clear gradation marks. Imaging systems are optimized for rack scanners and robotic readers, ensuring compatibility with LIMS and high-throughput automation systems.
Tube label configurations are highly customizable to match exact lab needs. We provide wrap-around formats that adhere to both the tube and themselves, cap-and-body sets for dual identification, and flag-style labels that extend beyond the curvature for better visibility or manual write-in fields. Labels can be as small as a few millimeters in width for microtubes, or large enough to wrap fully around wide cryovials or conicals. We use precision die-cutting for consistent application and compatibility with automated systems. Labels can be manufactured with orientation notches, perforations, or split backs to assist with manual placement or automated peel-and-apply systems. For tubes with limited real estate, we support high-density barcode formats and microtext printing. Laminates or clear tails can be integrated into the label shape itself. Whether you’re labeling tubes before or after filling, capped or uncapped, our size and shape configurations are designed for seamless integration with robotic workflows and human handling alike.
Microplate labeling in diagnostic, pharmaceutical, or regulated research environments may require compliance with environmental and chemical standards. Common regulations include REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), both ensuring material safety and traceability. Labels used on plates for regulated workflows must also support lot traceability, audit compliance, and resistance to contamination or material migration.
