When a study spans months or years, sample tracking can get complicated fast. One participant can generate dozens of specimens and aliquots over time, and every tube still needs to stay connected to the right participant, collection, and sample history.
See what goes into keeping samples connected over time in our latest blog.

Learn how sample tracking in longitudinal studies uses unique barcodes and durable identification to connect biospecimens across participants and timepoints.

80% of the North American blood supply. That's how much our labels help track. It’s something we’re pretty proud of!

That takes more than a good label. Our vision inspection technology verifies each sequentially numbered barcode to make sure it scans, prints in order, and has no duplicates.

We're bringing our blood labeling experts to in Atlanta from Oct 17-19. Swing by Booth 835 to meet our team, check out our labeling & printing solutions and grab a few fun things to take with you.

If your lab works with aliquots, you know how quickly things can get complicated. More tubes mean more labels, more data to manage, and more chances for identification errors.

We help labs keep every aliquot clearly identified with labeling solutions built for small tubes, barcodes, and cryo storage conditions.

This guide breaks down what to consider before those sample numbers start multiplying. ➡️ Read the guide:

Learn how aliquot labels use unique barcodes to support sample tracking, parent-child relationships, sample identification, and reliable storage.
