Labeling a tiny tube seems simple...until you actually have to do it. You only have so much space, but you still need a barcode that scans and a label that stays put. That's exactly what we cover in our latest blog, along with a few things people tend to overlook when choosing labels for small diameter tubes. ➡️ Take a look:

How to Label Small Diameter Laboratory Tubes | Computype Learn how to label small-diameter laboratory tubes for reliable barcode scanning, consistent placement, and long-term sample identification. Explore the key design considerations for selecting the right tube labeling solution.

Printing and applying barcode labels to microplates might seem like a small task until you're doing it hundreds or thousands of times.

It takes time. It needs to be done consistently. And even slight variations in label placement can interrupt automated workflows.

That's why many laboratories are moving to pre-barcoded microplates.

With our Labware Prep Services, microplates arrive ready to use with custom barcode sequences and consistent label placement, so your team can spend less time preparing plates and more time on research.

Your samples aren't the only thing that needs protection in cryogenic storage. The labels identifying them matter just as much.

Liquid nitrogen, chemicals, and freeze thaw cycles can all take a toll on printed text and barcodes.

That's why we engineered our self-laminating cryo tube labels with a clear laminate overwrap that helps protect your printed information while keeping labels readable in liquid nitrogen storage down to -196°C.

Meet the newest member of the Computype team Alexa Dillon.

Alexa recently joined us as Technical Sales Manager for the Mid-Atlantic & Northeast area. If your labels need to stand up to freezers, LN2, chemicals, heat, or abrasion, she's ready to help.

Here are a few fun facts about Alexa:

📍 She's from the greater Baltimore area

🎓 Earned her degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of South Carolina

✈️ Favorite place she's visited is Barcelona

🍝 Loves Greek and Italian food

If you're in this area, there's a good chance you'll be hearing from Alexa soon. Or feel free to introduce yourself first! She's looking forward to meeting customers, learning about your applications, and helping solve your labeling challenges.

We're excited to have Alexa on the team. We think you will be too.

Not every lab needs the same microplate label. Some print labels on demand. Others need pre-printed barcodes. Some would rather have microplates arrive labeled and ready to use.

That's why we offer all three.

Instead of forcing your workflow to fit a product, we help you find the labeling solution that fits your workflow.

Microplate Labels | Computype Discover microplate labels designed for barcode printing, lab automation, and compatibility with SBS-format plates.

Cell culture labels have to do more than stick. They need to stay readable after incubator humidity, routine handling, and alcohol wiping. We designed our labels for the way cell culture labs actually work, with clear and opaque options for plates, flasks, media, and reagents. Learn more: https://computype.com/cell-culture-labels/

Here's a fun fact for your Friday. Today is National Barcode Day. It celebrates the first barcode ever scanned at a grocery store back in 1974…on a pack of Wrigley’s gum!

It's one of those holidays us barcode nerds get a little excited about.
