eLabel Manager for LabCollector
Labels are everywhere in the lab, on cages, freezer doors, racks, and instruments. They carry crucial information, but paper labels are fragile. They fade, peel off, or stay unchanged even when the situation does not. A cage may house a different group of animals, yet the tag still shows the old ones. A freezer rack may have moved samples around, but the paper label does not reflect it.
This is where frustration builds up for lab technicians and managers who need accuracy every day.
Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) offer a digital alternative, staying connected to LabCollector and updating automatically in real time.
Why eLabel Manager?
The new eLabel Manager add-on transforms how labs handle labeling. Instead of relying on printed slips or sticky notes, LabCollector connects directly to electronic shelf labels (ESLs). That means information stored in your database is instantly displayed on a digital tag in the lab.
Update a cage record in LabCollector and the change appears right on the eLabel. Adjust a freezer inventory and the rack tag refreshes automatically. Reserve an instrument and the eLabel shows who booked it. No printing, no scribbling, no replacing. Just accurate information, always up to date.
Why It Matters for Your Lab
Switching to electronic labels is not just about convenience. It is about:
- Reducing errors: Everyone sees the same accurate information at all times.
- Saving time: Less manual updating means technicians focus on actual experiments.
- Improving communication: Managers and staff share one consistent view of lab resources.
- Going green: Reusable digital labels cut out the need for disposable paper tags.
Why would I need it?
Picture walking into your animal facility in the morning. Instead of checking faded notes taped to cages, you see clear electronic tags showing strain, ID, and status, all freshly updated from LabCollector.
Or imagine opening the cold storage room. Every rack has a digital display with up-to-date inventory. No more second-guessing handwritten scrawls.
Even equipment reservations become effortless. The instrument itself shows who has it reserved today, making scheduling transparent for everyone.
