Strip Tube Labeling

Samples must match your online order.

Each order receives a 7-character Order ID.
Tube 1 cap: last 2 Order-ID characters.
Every tube cap: sample number (1…N).
Keep strips attached; use contiguous positions.

Strip tube labeling example — Tube 1 gets the Order-ID suffix; all tubes get sample numbers.

96-Well Plate Labeling

Edge-label the plate with the full Order ID.

At least 48 samples per plate.
Use 200 µL PCR plates only.
Column numbering starts at col 1; row numbering starts at row A.
Keep wells contiguous; seal with heat seal or snug strip caps.

Column vs row numbering — Choose one numbering mode; no gaps.

Plate sealing tips — Heat seal or snug strip caps strongly preferred.

Do Not Make These Mistakes

No single 200 µL tubes unless the order has only one sample.
No plates with fewer than 48 samples.
No 1.5/0.5 mL tubes, opaque tubes, 384-well plates.
No sample names on tubes—use numbers only.
Do not send samples that aren't in the order.
Do not mix orders or leave gaps on strips/plates.

Protect tubes inside a secondary container.
Bag samples with the order sheet (barcode visible).
