Laboratory Products 41 Efficient laboratory equipment and machine labelling
Traceability is fundamental in the laboratory, just one laboratory can process hundreds, if not thousands of samples in a week. And in these types of environments, the labelling and tracking of shared equipment is just as important as it is for the samples.
Ensuring laboratory equipment is labelled can help to maintain efficiency, ensure maintenance and calibration routines are upheld as well as auditing and lab safety. Knowing exactly where a piece of equipment is, whether it’s up to date with calibration and testing will not only increase productivity but overall increase laboratory efficiency.
The use of asset tags and labels which feature a trackable barcode is by far the easiest way to identify and track an asset using a central information management system. Each piece of equipment can then have a unique identifier assigned to it, and its data can be managed and read via the system. Such data can include location, ID numbers and serialisation, as well as up to date calibration and testing information.
Durability of device labels within the laboratory environment is important due to the corrosive elements in solvents and chemicals and there are many labels which can withstand these extreme environments. Device labels in laboratories need to be tolerant to regular cleaning solvents and the possibility of exposure to chemical spillages.
Fine Cut offer many types of device labelling solutions to suit all laboratory applications. All their labels can be branded, colour coded and contain information such as barcodes, QR codes and serialisation;
Polyester Asset & Device Labels
Made from a thin, yet durable peelable material and supplied on a roll for convenience, these labels are easy to apply and can be adhered to almost any surface including metal, glass and plastic. They are made to withstand extreme temperatures including cryogenic environments, are solvent, chemical and scratch resistant.
PVC Asset & Device Labels
For extreme durability, these labels are reverse printed, encapsulating the print between the material and adhesive layers. They are made from a rigid material and supplied in sheet format. As well as being completely tolerant to solvents and chemicals, these labels are impact and abrasion resistant - excellent for wear and tear on larger equipment.
Metal Nameplates
Made to last a lifetime, metal labels or nameplates offer ultimate durability. Options include anoprint in which the print is encapsulated within the metal and available in full colour, as well as laser marking or chemical etching. These metal labels can withstand absolutely anything so are perfect for heavy continual use. Fixing options include screw holes or adhesive.
Graphic Overlays
A larger format label suitable for device fascias and instructional / informative graphics. Digital print offers unlimited design options including full colour imagery and small text. Like the PVC Labels, these overlays are reverse printed on to Polyester, PVC and Polycarbonate for durability. Options available include cut outs, windows, secret-til-lit windows and legends as well as embossing and a choice of surface textures.
