Materials
These types of labs are similar to a traditional businesses, funded by paying customers/investors, and understand that output determines revenue.
What is a Pharma, Biotech, or CRO?
Because I am a biorepository, part of my process is relabeling frozen samples that I receive from another lab. This ultra thin polyester material can be applied to frozen vials and tubes and can withstand liquid nitrogen.
What is B-492?
This type of lab has incredibly precious samples, is government funded, and have around 50,000 biospecimens their first year.
What is a Biorepository or Biobank?
I work in a lot of different processes. I need one material that is able to fill almost all of my research needs. This economic polypropylene material has moderate chemical resistance. Is ideal for labeling dry, room temp specimen containers. Withstands LN, Freezer, Hot Water Bath and Autoclaves.
What is B-7425?
I need a label to apply to room temperature tubes that is think and conforms to many different shaped surfaces. This thick nylon cloth material was created for easy handling and conformability. Withstands LN, freezer and autoclaves.
What is B-499?
This type of lab already has a LIMS/LIS they are pulling data from, typically has a budget for acceptable improvements, but struggles with labels not meeting the needs of their applications.
What is a Hospital?
As a histology lab in a hospital, it would be great if I could label my slides pre-process. Unfortunately the stain I use makes my labels too pink. This polyester material has extreme chemical resistance and performance in slide staining processes and withstands Ethanol, Xylene, H&E Stains.
What is B-481?
I hate washing glassware. I can never get the adhesive off, and I spend tons of time pulling at labels when I’m washing dishes. This paper material dissolves completely in water leaving no adhesive residue behind.
What is B-403?
This types of labs are grant funded, and are seeing larger and larger volume of samples in their research studies that they need to track efficiently making making them a perfect fit for LabNav.
What is an Academic or Government Lab?
I’m labeling fish tanks, and I need to be able to remove the label from the fish tank without water. This polyester material has a removable adhesive meant for applications needing clean removal of the label.
What is B-533?
If I can’t see how much of a sample is left when I pull my glycerol stock, I throw it away even if some of the sample may still be in there. This ultra thin polyester material has a clear tail that allows liquid levels to be viewed and protects print.
What is B-461?
This is the most important question successful TM’s ask during Lab sales calls.
What is “How are you tracking your samples?”
