Labels for Chemistry and Hematology

Labels for test tubes can vary in size, bar code specification and color.

Labels for use in test tube processing areas. EIMINC makes labels, printed or blank, specifically engineered to fit well on all makes of tubes. Our labels scan easily into any system. We also offer micro plate labels for drug discovery.

Utilizing bar codes in your lab can be a daunting task. Will all my equipment work well with just one bar code?  Can I get the size I need? Can I peel off the label and view original markings on the tube? Will the labels hold up in the wet damp environment? Is there a label which will stick better?

These questions need answers.  We can help you with our lab experience and label expertise. 

Printed labels are available from EIMINC. Blank labels are also available and can be printed within your lab, allowing you to determine the data stored on the tubes. For users new to printing we offer our Quick Start Barcode Label Printing Systems which includes everything you need to get started printing labels quickly and easily. We also provide bar code scanners.

Test tubes present many challenging issues for labeling. Call us about how we can help.

	The different types of plastics and glass require adhesives with great range.
	Repeated freeze and thaw cycles require labels that resist moisture.
	Verifying data by peeling to view under the label.
	Exposure to blood, urine, oils and other liquids require durable labels.
	Toxicology and other areas require archival of the tubes. The labels must be especially durable and have good archival life.

Why label a tube?
A barcode label becomes the test tube's "system ID". Analyzers make use of bar codes in reporting results to your information system. We have an on-line listing of some of the analyzers that we support. You LIS system tracks the test tubes through the lab allowing you to locate them easily. When you apply the label and scan it into your database system, you will either be given a location for the sample or you will enter the location where you want to put the sample. We support many LIS systems and can create labels to work well for you in this area.
