Complete solutions for identification in laboratories
We are specialized in laboratory identification. The main directions in the development of labels were:
-
persistence in demanding environments: hot bath, freezing, centrifugation and more,
-
size of labels: labels for vials, eppendorf tubes, straws, tissue sample cassettes, slides and various other devices used in laboratories,
-
ways of working in laboratories,
-
integration with existing systems.
Solutions are labels made of special materials or with special installation methods that easily meet all requirements. They can be made in several different ways, which we present below.
