Labels for Drug Discovery

Labels for use in Drug Discovery labs. EIMINC® makes blank and printed labels specifically engineered to fit well on Micro Assay and Microtiter plates and withstand DMSO down to -40°C and other chemicals. Our labels scan easily into any system. EIMINC® also provides software and printing systems which organize your label printing.

Deciding to utilize bar codes in your lab can be a daunting task. Which bar code to pick? Will all my equipment work well with just one bar code? How do I print the bar codes? What label size do I need for my microwell plates, micro assay plates and microtiter plates? How can I label other containers and fixtures? Will the labels hold up in the cold damp environment?

These questions need answers.  We can help you with our lab experience and label expertise. For users new to printing we offer our Quick Start Barcode Label Printing Systems which includes everything you need to get started printing labels quickly and easily.

Printed labels are available from EIMINC®. Blank labels are also available and can be printed within your lab, allowing you to determine the data stored on the labels on the plates. 

Microtiter plates present many challenging issues for labeling. Call us about how we can help.
 

Small sidewalls on the plates require narrow labels. Often the data content requires a high density barcode or even a 2 dimensional bar code. Print quality of these barcodes is of paramount importance.

Repeated freeze and thaw cycles of plates require labels that resist moisture.

 

Why label a Microtiter® or microwell or Micro Assay plate?
A barcode label becomes the plate's "system ID". When you apply the label and scan it into your database system, you will either be given a location for the sample or you will enter the location where you want to put the sample. If you store your plates for extended periods, the system will keep track of the available areas for storage and can even offer help in reorganizing to make you storage more efficient. Often the system will keep track of data including particulars about the sample as well as date and time of sample entry, removal and return.
