Sample Identification Solutions for LaboratoriesBrady’s laboratory identification products are designed to serve the world’s biotechnology, agricultural, environmental and forensic researchers. Whether you work in pathology, histology, chromatography or other areas of science, Brady labelling solutions can help you maintain Good Laboratory Practice.

Brady Sample Identification solutions:

■■ match existing vial, slide, and well plate sizes

■■ remain legible throughout processing and storage

■■ endure freezer storage, liquid nitrogen, autoclave, hot water baths and solvents including Xylene, DMSO and Ethanol

■■ allow bar coding for extensive information storage on even the tiniest sample

■■ integrate seamlessly with your Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

Hand-written vs printed labelsDid you ever had to postpone research because of unidentified samples, or because nobody was able to read anymore what was once written on the sample you need? Printed laboratory labels, engineered specifically to identify samples, help avoid sample loss and a lot of frustration.

Hand-Written Information

■■ Is difficult to read

■■ Smears when handled

■■ Has limited communication potential

■■ Fades over time when stored

■■ Is erased by chemicals

Printed Laboratory Labels

■■ Are crisp, clear and readable

■■ Do not smear nor fade

■■ Can hold much information

■■ Have increased durability

■■ Resist chemicals


UseBrady’s FreezerBondz™ Labels are designed specifically to identify laboratory samples for cryo storage. FreezerBondz labels can be applied to room temperature or to already frozen samples, albeit with a small overlap. The label will remain legible and will stick to the sample container during processing, even when exposed to extreme heat or chemicals like DMSO, Xylene and Ethanol. Barcode printable, FreezerBondz labels ensure sample identification in the most challenging laboratory conditions.

Bottles & Conicals Identification

Freezer L. Nitrogen Autoclave


UseBrady’s StainerBondz™ Labels are designed specifically to identifyslides and to resist exposure to harsh chemicals during the slidestaining process. They perform well in the hematoxilin and eosin slidestaining process and offer superior chemical resistance also usefulin other laboratory contexts. StainerBondz™ can resist temperaturesranging from -80°C (freezer) up to 121°C (autoclave).





■■ Length: Fixed


Slides Identification

Freezer Hot Water Autoclave


UseSpecifically designed to identify tissue cassettes, Brady’s B-482label withstands a temperature range from -80°C (freezer) to 121°C(autoclave) and offers superior resistance to chemicals used in tissueprocessing enabling it to retain barcode legibility. The label must be usedin combination with Brady’s BSP™31 Label Attachment System forpre-process tissue cassette identification and complements the use ofStainerBondz slide labels as part of a complete histology process.

Tissue Cassette Identification

Freezer Hot Water Autoclave


UseJust like a durable sample label lets you know which sample you areholding, a cabinet or drawer label can inform you of the cabinet’scontent. With proper identification, time spent looking for the rightsample or tool can be invested in what really matters. To identifydrawers, cabinets, shelves and storage units, Brady offers the B-595General Purpose Label.

Brady printers enable professionals to print highly specialised identification labels on-site and on demand. Partnered with customisable software and a specific application system for laboratories, adaptable to specific processes or data file formats, Brady printers support considerable time savings and flexibility in sample identification.

Every Brady identification label can be printed on-site using a Brady mobile, or benchtop printer. See our printer comparison guide or contact your Brady distributor to help choose the best printer for your needs.

On-site Label Creation


Tissue Cassette LabelAttachment SystemThe BSP™31 Label Attachment System attaches an adhesive label totissue cassettes before the tissue embedding process. It creates rivetson the label to prevent it from detaching during the embedding processor in storage.

Barcode ScannersBrady Scanners combine the industry’s best imaging technology witha graphic display and rugged keyboard for fast, user-friendly data andinventory management.

More Sample ID Automation
