Sample Management Solutions

Comprehensive Sample Management Solutions for US Laboratories

Reliable sample management is the backbone of every efficient laboratory workflow. At NBS Scientific, we provide a complete suite of solutions to optimize sample handling, improve traceability, and increase throughput. Our portfolio includes laser markers, automated labeling systems, tube handlers, code readers and tube processors. This gives labs the flexibility to automate their workflows from start to finish.

Code Readers

Single Tube and Rack Solutions

Accurate sample identification starts with reliable code reading. Our code readers include both single tube code readers and rack code readers, capable of scanning 1D and 2D codes quickly and accurately. Labware which is coded with labeling systems or laser marking systems ensures that every tube is identified and tracked correctly throughout its lifecycle.

Tube Handlers

Automatically pick and sort tubes

Manual handling can slow down workflows and increase the risk of errors. Our automated tube handlers, including the HT500 and HT700, efficiently pick, sort, and place tubes while maintaining sample integrity. Equiped with build-in code readers, these systems enable fully automated tracking and sorting, boosting throughput and reliability in demanding lab environments.

Tube Processors

Automatic processing of sample storage tubes

For laboratories that require advanced processing of their sample storage tubes, NBS Scientific offers **Automated Tube Processors**. These systems automate sample preparation, centrifugation, capping/decapping, and other critical workflows. Prepared tubes seamlessly integrate with tube handlers and code readers. By combining tube processors with our other sample management solutions, labs can achieve full automation from sample receipt to final storage, maximizing efficiency and traceability.

Laser Markers

For permanent, consumable-free identification

For permanent, consumable-free identification, NBS Scientific offers laser markers such as the Lambda768 by AFYS3G and the Smart Scribe Laser Marker by Scinomix. These systems provide high-resolution, durable markings that resist chemicals, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. Combine the power of a laser marker with code readers, tube handlers, and tube processors to enable fully automated, error-free workflows while eliminating consumables.

The Sci-Print VXL fully-automated tube labeler by Scinomix

For labs that prefer traditional labeling, the Scinomix automated labeling systems provide fast, reliable printing and application of labels to tubes and plates. With a automated tube labeler you can bulk place labels with text, codes, logo’s and icon on your labware. Like laser markers, they integrate seamlessly with other sample management equipment to create a fully automated, traceable workflow.

Powerful Workflow Integration

The true strength of modern sample management lies in integration. By combining the coding systems applied to labware with laser marking or labeling with code reading, automated tube handling, and tube processing, laboratories can create a fully automated workflow. Tubes are marked or labeled, scanned for verification, processed, and automatically sorted into racks — ensuring 100% traceability, minimal errors, and optimized efficiency. This workflow is ideal for high-throughput research, biobanking, clinical labs, and pharmaceutical applications.

Sustainability and Cost Efficiency

Laser markers eliminate consumables, while automated labeling systems and tube processors reduce manual handling errors and labor costs. These solutions are designed to improve sustainability, streamline workflows, and enable labs to process large sample volumes efficiently.
