The label is the most important part of the sample tracking process in laboratories.
Labels determine the efficiency and accuracy of a tracking system and, in turn, are critical to the success of the sample tracking process implemented in a lab. A single unidentified sample, or a missing tube, especially the rare samples that are available in limited quantities can result in exponential costs to a lab.
Handwritten laboratory labels usually consume a great deal of time because of the meticulous labeling of samples that is required. Sample identification errors creep in due to low-grade labels and marker pens, illegible handwriting, labeling mistakes, or labels becoming exposed to water or chemicals in the freezers.
Barcode labels provide a quick and efficient method to identify sample tubes in no time. By using a simple barcode hand-held scanner, information about a specific sample or a tube can be rapidly retrieved.
