Smarter Lab Workflows: Where Automation Meets Barcoding

In today’s fast-paced scientific environment, laboratories across Europe are under constant pressure to do more, faster, more accurately, and always in compliance with increasingly stringent regulations. While automation has already revolutionized many lab operations, one often underutilized tool holds the potential to further streamline workflows and enhance performance: barcoding.

Barcoding elevates automation by enabling precise, reliable sample identification and traceability across every step of your laboratory workflow.

Why Automation Alone Isn’t Enough

Manual processes such as sample labeling, data transcription, and inventory tracking introduce delays, errors, and inconsistencies. Automation minimizes human involvement in repetitive tasks, driving greater accuracy, efficiency, and data integrity. Barcoding elevates automation by enabling precise, reliable sample identification and traceability across every step of your laboratory workflow.

Barcoding: A Simple Upgrade With Big Results

DWK Life Sciences specializes in custom labware marking solutions. From simple barcodes to advanced alphanumeric sequences, our marking systems are designed to help labs:

Increase Productivity: Streamline weighing, labeling, and sample handling.

Enhance Traceability: Prevent mix-ups with error-free identification that aligns with regulatory compliance.

Save Space: Reduce the need for on-site barcoding and weighing stations.

Ensure Durability: Labels and markings withstand extreme temperatures, chemicals, and rigorous lab conditions.

DWK Barcoding Solutions at a Glance

DWK Life Sciences provides a wide range of customizable barcoding options, all designed to meet the specific needs of laboratory workflows:

Barcode Symbologies: Code 39, Code 128, 2D Data Matrix, QR Code, Interleaved 2 of 5.

Labeling Materials: Pressure-sensitive labels, direct-printed markings, or durable ceramic imprints.

Custom Data Formats: Static, variable, or sequential alpha/numeric identifiers to eliminate duplication and support full traceability.

Barcoding solutions from DWK not only improve traceability and identification but also support anti-counterfeiting measures, providing labs with extra security for their high-value materials.
