Gene and cell therapy research often involves the labeling of multiple samples, which can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Traditional labeling methods such as hand labeling or adhesive labels can be error-prone, especially when done at such a high volume, and the repetitive nature contributes to staff burnout and churn. However, TubeWriter’s direct printing …
Biorepositories are an essential part of modern scientific research, and are often home to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of specimens. Sample integrity is of utmost importance, which is why readable and resilient labels are crucial. Here are four ways in which biorepositories can benefit from using TubeWriter’s direct labeling solution. 4 Reasons Biorepositories …
Labeling frozen cryogenic tubes is a common challenge in many laboratory settings. Traditional labeling methods, such as adhesive labels or hand-writing on the tube with a marker, are often insufficient when labeling tubes that are already frozen. However, cap labeling has emerged as a reliable solution to this issue. By labeling the caps of frozen …
Clear and detailed labels are essential for maintaining data integrity and traceability in scientific research. This is especially true in fields such as genetics and genomics, where a single specimen can be analyzed multiple times using different techniques, and over an extended period. With the proper labeling and tracking of specimens, researchers can ensure that …

If there’s one thing every laboratory needs, it’s efficient labeling. Even just one incorrect or missing label wastes valuable time, money and resources. While some items are fairly easy to label, others — like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tubes — can be a pain. In this blog, we’ll go over the difficulties associated with PCR …
If you’ve worked in a laboratory setting, you know just how chaotic these environments can be. Not only are there tons of materials to keep track of, but you’re also expected to move at a fast pace. To help prevent mistakes, many labs emphasize the importance of proper labeling. In an efficient lab, nearly everything …
The Benefits of Direct Printing on Labware vs Hand Labeling Read More »
Have you ever wasted time removing tubes from their racks, just so you could get a glimpse of the label on the side? Or, have you ever struggled to apply an adhesive label to a frozen tube or recessed cap? To avoid these issues, more and more scientists are turning towards cap labeling. Using a …
