Reliable Sample Tracking with Automated Barcode Scanning
Seamless Barcode Integration for Sample Traceability, Data Capture, and Workflow EfficiencyLabman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of automated barcode scanning to your laboratory.High-speed barcode readingLabman systems support both linear and matrix barcode formats, scanning thousands of vials or tubes with speed and precision - even when codes are small, curved, or partially obscured.
Integration across lab workflowsBarcode scanning is often embedded within broader workflows, such as weighing, marking, filling, and capping, enabling continuous sample tracking from start to finish.
Scanning reliability across mediasOur solutions are optimised for a range of materials and finishes, ensuring dependable barcode recognition on both plastic and glass surfaces, even in challenging lighting or orientation scenarios.
Error detectionSystems can flag unreadable or duplicate barcodes, log scan failures, and reroute samples for inspection, maintaining accuracy and preventing mix-ups in regulated environments.
Secure Data LoggingBarcode data is captured in real time and can be linked directly to LIMS, ERP, or custom databases, supporting full audit trails and regulatory compliance across industries.
MultiVialLabman's MultiVial includes built-in barcode readers, offering automated sample identification and real-time tracking as standard, ideal for high-throughput labs.
