You need to launch innovated platforms that enable faster and more accurate tests and diagnoses – so planning, process efficiency, and certainty in your workflows are key. Computype’s global experience serving the diagnostics and analytical equipment markets means we can be relied on to provide the ID and tracking solutions that support you in achieving these goals.

Proven in practice
Producing over 125 million histology slide labels every year, and with many years partnering with pathology labs, in-vitro diagnostic organisations, molecular diagnostic firms, and instrumentation suppliers, Computype offers labelling solutions which meet the most exacting standards. Our materials have also been specifically developed to provide the durability to support automated handling.

Reagent resistant
Our label stock and adhesives are engineered to be resistant to reagents and solvents. Xylene and paraffin resistant cassette labels, H&E/special stain slide labels– with Computype you can be sure that sample integrity will always be supported through dependable ID.

READY Labware, ready for work
Computype’s READY Labware Services delivers consumables fully barcoded and kitted to your facility. We can handle packing containers, reagents, and paperwork, so everything arrives ready to use, to you and your end-users based on your specifications. Ensure that customers are using the preferred consumables to accompany your equipment through our READY Labware Services program.

RFID tracked reagents & consumables
RFID tagging can ensure the reagent is certified for use with specific equipment, and also monitors if there’s enough reagent left to complete a test – avoiding costly aborted tests and enabling efficient use of proprietary reagents. When properly utilised, RFID technology can ensure full optimisation of consumables within your highly innovated platforms.

Can-do Colour
Computype’s labelling expertise enables the use of colour in various ways. It allows you to create standout product ID and branding, and provide at-a-glance reagent identification.

Across molecular diagnostics, DNA sequencing, tissue diagnostics, and many point of care processes, the read/write data capabilities of Computype hybrid barcode RFID labels support faster, more complex automated throughput and enhanced platform precision.

'Intelligent' consumables – as data can be stored, added, and retrieved from each RFID label, consumables and reagents can communicate their status and process history.
Instant easy identification – each sample can be identified within a lot simply by scanning the package; there’s no need to open the pack or physically search through its contents.
Hybrid RFID/barcode functionality – as part of a label set, these enable elevated quality measurement at different process stages all while optimising the workflows as intended.

4 Ways RFID Solutions Support Closed Loop Reagent Packs in Diagnostics

4 Ways RFID Solutions Support Closed Loop Reagent Packs in Diagnostics
Traditionally, a reagent pack in a closed loop analyzer system may include a barcode for identification. This helps ensure that the proper reagent pack is loaded and unloaded for consumable replacement as well as communicate to the device regarding where the reagent is located within the machine. The method of using barcodes is quickly advancing to also leverage RFID for identification and even consumable monitoring.
Utilisation of the smartphone for streamlined processes through RFID

Utilisation of the smartphone for streamlined processes through RFID
A quickly growing and sensible trend in lab automation devices is the consolidation of containers, polymers, buffers, and/or reagents into single closed loop packages. This trend makes sense as it can significantly reduce lab overhead by decreasing the overall time required to prepare a sample run. This not only leads to faster test results, but reduces the amount of labour required per test since there is less setup time involved.
