Barcode Services

We offer a wide range of plate identification and tracking options, including direct printing technology and applied labels. Options include standard linear barcodes, 2D Data Matrix codes, custom graphics, and formatted text.

Standard Barcodes:

Our standard format is a 10 digit alphanumeric code. The barcode is centered on sidewall of plate. We use Code 128 as our default symbology, as it is compatible with most barcode readers. (Other symbologies are available with our Custom Barcode options, see below) We include the human readable code printed to the right of the barcodes. We guarantee unique codes, however we do not guarantee sequential numbers. We apply an additional label to each product box confirming that it has been barcoded and we specify first and last sequence number of each box.

If you want to order plates with Standard Barcodes, please contact your authorized Arvensis distributor or send us a message on our Contact Form

Here are some examples of our standard barcodes applied to Arvensis PCR plates:

Custom Barcodes:

We offer a wide range of plate labelling services, including directly printing on the sidewall or top surface of each plate. We can print linear barcodes, 2D Data Matrix codes, logos, other graphics, and formatted text. We can even print a unique 2D code on each tab of our ReLoad PCR Tube Strip product line.

Whether you simply need a unique code to identify each plate, or if you are using our products for kits and want to add your own branding and tracking details for each plate, we have a solution for your application.

Here are some examples of custom labelling projects we have done in the past:
