Laser-etched direct part marking.

Laser etching, offered through our Labware Prepâ„¢ Services program, creates permanent, high-precision markings on glass, metal, plastic, and even wood. The markings match the durability of the material itself, ensuring they last as long as your asset does. Ideal for barcodes, text, and designs, laser etching offers unmatched clarity for critical identification.

  • Etched markings on diverse materials
  • Precision for barcodes and text
  • Resistant to wear, chemicals, and heat
  • Matches the durability of the material

What is laser etching?

Laser etching is a high-precision marking technology that creates durable, high-resolution images by vaporizing the surface of materials like metal, glass, and plastic. Using a hybrid fiber laser and in-house fabricated trays, we ensure consistent image placement, even in challenging spaces. This method supports barcodes, grad lines, fill lines, logos, and text, delivering exceptional clarity for critical identification. With built-in QC systems, laser etching guarantees accuracy for complex applications, including multi-sided marking of plates, racks, and tubes.

Versatile labware marking.

Laser etching uses a hybrid fiber laser to create high-resolution markings by vaporizing the material’s surface. This precision process works on glass, metal, plastic, and other surfaces, producing permanent marks that last as long as the material itself. We use custom-fabricated trays, 3D printed in-house, to ensure accurate and consistent image placement on every piece.

Our QC systems verify multi-sided printing for plates, racks, and tubes, including detailed marking on the sides and bottoms of matrix tubes. Laser etching is ideal for applications where space is limited or where environmental durability is required. From labware to industrial components, laser etching provides unmatched precision for critical identification needs.

multi-side marking

Hybrid fiber laser systems enable 3, 4, and 5-sided marking for plates, racks, and tubes. Markings on sides, bottoms, or both ensure clear, precise, and accurate placement. This capability maximizes identification on complex labware and components.

high-resolution

Laser etching produces high-resolution marks, even in limited spaces or on intricate surfaces. Durable barcodes, grad lines, fill lines, logos, and text are created with exceptional clarity. Ideal for applications requiring precision and durability.

diverse materials

Laser etching works seamlessly on glass, metal, plastic, and wood, adapting to the unique properties of each material. Marks remain as durable as the surface itself, ensuring long-lasting identification across diverse applications.

Durability and labware compatibility.

Laser etching offers unmatched versatility, capable of marking a wide range of materials, including glass, plastic, metal, and wood. It is especially suited for uniquely shaped labware, such as tubes and tissue cassettes, where precision and adaptability are essential. While its abrasion resistance varies by material, laser marking on glass delivers exceptional durability and heat resistance.

This method excels in precision and detail, creating high-resolution markings suitable for diverse applications. Laser etching is primarily black, providing excellent contrast for readability across different surfaces. With its flexibility and adaptability, laser etching is an excellent choice for labs requiring a reliable marking method across multiple materials.

Additional labware marking options.

Ceramic labels are permanently fused to glass or metal labware through high-temperature bonding. The result is an impervious, abrasion-resistant mark that withstands extreme conditions. Ideal for high-value assets, ceramic labels ensure reliable, long-term identification.

Cured inks deliver versatile, high-resolution markings applied directly to labware surfaces. This technology supports colors, logos, barcodes, and grad lines for maximum customization. Durable and resistant to most chemicals, cured inks are ideal for flexible identification needs.

pressure sensitive labels

Pressure-sensitive labels offer a fast and flexible solution for labware identification. These adhesive-backed labels can accommodate barcodes, text, and designs, ensuring clear and scannable results. Perfect for temporary or permanent labeling, they balance efficiency and durability.
