AirTrack® Test Tube Barcode Label

Test tube labels are designed to identify and track samples that are used for diagnostic testing and disease prevention. The test tube labels are used across various healthcare divisions including genetics, DNA sequencing, forensics, chemistry, hematology, disease control, and drug discovery. Test tube and vial labels are also used to improve sample management and post results to LIS/HIS analyzers. The quality and material of the test tube labels varies dependent on the conditions that the tubes need to be in. For example, some test samples are required to be kept in a freezer in order to prevent gases from developing from organic contents. Thus, in extreme cold temperatures, the test tube labels must be able to withstand wet conditions, adhesiveness concerns and durability in long testing processes. Any of these issues can result in the testing process starting over, increased costs and delayed payment on insurance premiums.
