Medical Labels and Lab Labels

Write once… always right! That's the message with bar coding and bar code labels.

Printer Plus Inc. can satisfy all your glass slide label needs. Our labels, which can be applied to slides before staining, will adhere to the slide surface throughout staining/zylene procedures and the labels will remain white and stain-free, ensuring the printed information remains machine (i.e. bar codes) or human (i.e. alphanumeric) readable.

All types of medical labels, lab labels, bar code labels and slide labels

Our labels are available pre-printed or blank. We can manufacture all sizes and configurations to suit your current applications. Multiple copies of labels can be printed as needed for applications requiring multiple specimen slides and associated specimen requisitions and reports.

Health authorities recommend bar code labels

The American Society of Cytopathology has recently proposed to: "Encourage the use of bar coding and medical labels from the time of patient registration to receipt of specimen in the laboratory." This recommendation is part of a set of recommendations to build safety into processes of care to reduce medical error and improve quality, and is a response to the Institute of Medicine's report on medical error and patient safety in America.

Ensuring patient and specimen match is essential to avoiding labeling errors and potential problematical consequences. Bar coding labels and medical labels make it easy to accession specimen, track their progress throughout the laboratory, report results, and file and retrieve slides and reports. The system can be as simple or as sophisticated as your needs require.

The need for bar code labels should not be overlooked

Whether you simply want to replace hand-written labeling with printed labels, are dissatisfied with the bar coded labels you are currently using, or if you want to implement bar coding in your laboratory, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to provide you with additional information.

Medical label samples

We would also be pleased to send you additional samples of our labels. As a one-stop solution we can provide labels, thermal transfer printers, label ribbons, and hand-held laser scanners. A complete system is surprisingly affordable. Bar coding is an investment a laboratory cannot afford to overlook.
