Label sheets - Barcode label sheet types

There are three types of label sheets that can be used with the Matcher system:

• Non-cryo labels

• Cryo labels

• AVERY mini address labels (L7651).

1.- Non-cryo labels:

• This is a comprehensive sheet of labels for all labware and other applications for an entire cycle of treatment.

• These labels are not suitable for cryo preservation use.

• Non-cryo labels will have the reference LBL020 at the top of the sheet.

• Different layouts are available with different sized text and displaying different information.

2.- Cryo/PGT labels:

• Cryo labels are specifically designed for cryo preservation purposes and have been tested and verified for long-term liquid nitrogen storage.

• Cryo labels are self-laminating - each label contains a white area onto which the barcode and text is printed and a clear part which is wrapped over the white area to provide further protection to the printed label.

• Cryo labels will have the reference LBL019 at the top of the sheet.

• Different layouts are available with different sized text and displaying different information.

5.- Avery Labels:

• Matcher barcodes can also be printed onto standard AVERY mini address labels (L7651-25).

• These are ideal for satellite sites that are unable to have Matcher installed (e.g. IT infrastructure issues). For example, label sheets for a patient can be emailed this to a satellite site. The satellite site can then print these labels and attach to patient samples. When these samples are sent back to the main clinic, they can be matched against standard Matcher labels.

• AVERY labels can be set up to be printed from a separate label button. Please contact us or your distributor to enable this.
