Hello,
I would like to inquire about what kind of hardware and software
people are using to barcode-label cryovials and crystal trays used for
cryo crystallography work. Is pre-barcoded labels better (no need to buy
and upgrade hardware and software) or customer-barcoded labels better
(we can tailor the labeling to suit the situation)?
Our Institute has several groups that would like to explore the
possibility of labeling the cryovials, crystal trays with barcodes and
automate the process of sample identification at ambient and cryo
temperatures, storage and transport. However, our volume ( say 30-60
trays/month and 30-40 vials/trip ) is not that high seen by structural
genomics people.
Any suggestions regarding manufacturer and resellers will be
appreciated. Personal experience with pre-barcoded and/or customer-coded
labels, scanners, and printer is also welcome.
Thank you.
