Friendly Automation. Reliable Results

Streamline Workflows with Automation That Drives Unmatched Accuracy and Traceability

Introducing the SmartScribe Laser Etcher

Traditional tube labeling is a gold standard for many laboratory workflows, offering proven reliability, flexibility, and compatibility with ultra-low temperature storage. However, for labs seeking an alternative identification method for specific workflows, the Scinomix SmartScribe Laser Etcher provides a durable, direct-to-tube marking solution designed for long-term traceability.

SmartScribe is ideal for laboratories requiring:

  • Permanent, high-contrast identification resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and abrasion.
  • Contact-free, automated laser etching, minimizing the risk of label degradation or loss.
  • An alternative to consumable-based labeling for workflows prioritizing long-term durability and reduced recurring costs.

Whether complementing automated conventional labelers or integrating into specialized workflows, SmartScribe offers an additional option to ensure precise, reliable sample identification in research, clinical, and biopharma environments.

Game-changer for automated vial/tube labeling/decapping/filling!

The Scinomix VXL/VXQ automated labeler/filler has been a game-changer for our lab. What took a team of 8 analysts tediously hand-labeling thousands of vials for 8 hours has been replaced with a robust machine that has eliminated repetitive stress injuries. The after-purchase support from Scinomix has been outstanding, being able to resolve problems within hours or a few days.

The Scinomix VX2 is a versatile and easy to use tube labeler.

The Scinomix VX2 is a versatile and easy to use tube labeler. It can handle almost any tube type with the use of swappable heads(now with a universal head which makes it even easier). They can make tube racks for almost any tube type. They offer a variety of various labels depending on your needs, and the software is easy to use. The system itself is reliable as long as it is maintained properly.

Great asset for bulk preparation storage.

Eases the burden of storing bulk preparations. Gone are the days of time consuming hand written tube labels that inevitably become illegible. Easy to use. Consistent performance. Captures all relevant reagent information on an easy to read label affixed automatically while you are preparing the reagent. A real time saver."

Where has this system been all my lab life! No more manual labeling.

This product is great for a range of tubes. Labeling is always consistent and simple to set up using worklists or the simple user interface. Support for the hardware and software has been great. The videos provided are excellent for upkeep and maintenance of the system. We as a company would love to have a universal gripper tool available. This has is already preventing us from integrating a Scinomix system onto robotic carts.

Can't imagine going back to before we had one.

We downsized the number of people working in our area but the workload was the same, with the Scinomix we were able to label, fill and sort tubes faster than before, more accurately and with fewer people. We have come to depend on the instrument so much we have purchased another as if it goes down, it would be hard to keep up with the production levels that we currently have.

Life changing unit in the sample storage world.

My company purchased the Scinomix VXL labeler when we first transitioned to cryovials from glass amps, and we never looked back. Scinomix sent out an account manger, Wes, to train us, and that was completed in only a couple hours. For such a complex looking machine, they were able to make it very simple to use. Now, if anything ever goes wrong, we have both the Scinomix staff, and Wes' number who are always there to help us solve the problem in a minimum amount of time. Great product and excited to get the hopper to make it even better!

Valuable piece of equipment and true time saver.

The VX-2 is a reliable and robust piece of equipment which needs a little bit of attention now and then in terms of cleaning and maintenance. The company is permanently expanding the system with new add-ons and better software. The system is routinely used in our lab by many people and they like it.

Foundation of our standardization process.

The Scinomix Sci-Print VX2 is the only instrument on the market capable of handling such a high throughput. The synchronicity of the aliquoting process with the labeling mechanisation facilitates what could be a laborious task. Saving time and money, this instrument is a cornerstone of our standardization programs. The one downside being troubleshooting. If you can learn your way around the machine you'll have a better time ensuring your VX2 remains active.

Consistency is key! Excellent for workflows utilizing automated equipment.

As our use of automated equipment has increased, so has the need for consistency and standardization. The Sci-Print MP2+ has been very effective in standardizing our plate labeling. Manual label placement has historically caused missed scans or complete separation of the label from the plate (particularly in a -80C environment). The Sci-Print MP2+ has eliminated these issues. The system is quite easy to use, including customization/label design, and the training that was provided was excellent. It is a robust piece of equipment, we have not encountered any significant malfunctions or issues requiring repair.
