Labels for Histology and Research

Labels for use in Histology Labs and Research Facilities. EIMINC makes labels, printed or blank, specifically engineered to withstand alcohol, preservation chemicals, various stains and xylene. Our labels stick well to all containers and slides and our bar code labels scan easily into any system.

Deciding to utilize bar codes in your lab can be a daunting task. Which bar code to pick? Will all my equipment work well with just one bar code? How do I print the bar codes? What label size do I need? Will the labels hold up in the chemistry? Shall I label the paraffin blocks before imbedding the specimen in paraffin? Will the labels last through extensive archiving?

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

Once in place, each container, block and slide will be clearly marked with the data that you need. Typically the labels include a bar code and human readable text including case study as well as sample numbers. These labels are referenced and scanned at different points in the lab depending on how closely you need to track each case.

Easy Item Location
Slides and ID cards (or a menu) can be scanned as they are distributed for viewing. At any point you can reference your system and locate an item in the lab, whether it is in the tissue area, microtoming, staining or being viewed. The slides can be scanned as they are reviewed. Notes can be recorded into your system right away.

Archiving samples has never been easier. Bar codes on the slides can be scanned as they enter the storage area. When the slides are removed from the area, the bar codes are scanned again. Scanning an ID card or menu with the technologist's name also helps locate the slides after they have left the archive area.

The data generated by the system helps you to better understand the way your lab works.
