360 Print Station
The TubeWriter 360 cuts preparation time for large-scale tube labeling work, ensures sample integrity at low temperatures and requires no learning curve.
Any Tube, Any Vial, Any Size: The TubeWriter 360 prints on anything that will fit under the inkjet printhead including the side or top of any tube, vial, histology cassette, microscope slide, cryovial, and more. Never go back to messy handwriting or sticky lab labels again.
Barcode Printing = Positive ID: Barcode standards such as Data Matrix, Linear, 2D, Code 128, Code 39 are all possible using the TubeWriter 360 tube labeling system. This enhanced capability allows you to integrate your barcode scanners to read the tubes and record data into your systems. Rather than worrying about reading text, take your
