Efficiency Meets Fidelity

Plates are integral to many workflows in your laboratory. Your samples and assets depend on reliable vessels that will not let you down. Beyond robust construction and ergonomic design, you require plates that can endure the rigors and scrutiny of daily lab activities and long-term storage. Barcoded plates offer the ideal solution for addressing seemingly minor challenges that can escalate into significant issues. Take advantage of reliable sample ID and safe sample inventory databases. Choose between pre-labeled off-the-shelf plates (SafeCode) or completely customized plate labeling.
