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 …
