Automated Vial Labelling, Laser Marking & Weighing
MultiVial automates vial laser marking, 2D barcode tracking and high-accuracy weighing for glass and plastic vials from 1 ml to 50 ml.Automated vial marking without labels or consumables
Handling plastic and glass vials from 1ml - 50ml, MultiVial can process up to nine SBS racks of mixed vials in one run. The system can be dropped into any existing workflow owing to its collaborative arm and compact size. MultiVial’s open REST API enables seamless integration with other devices, and easy access to your data.Automated vial laser marking for permanent sample identification
Hand written and printed vial labels are historically problematic and inconsistent. MultiVial’s laser marking capability has been fine tuned and tested to quickly and consistently mark a range of glass or plastic vial types. With configurable marking options, the system is capable of laser marking directly onto the vial to suit your upstream processes.- Laser marking removes the need for inks and tedious/costly consumables by permanently marking the surface with numbers, bar codes or QR codes
- A line scan camera is used to automatically detect the marking area
- The system handles borosilicate glass and plastic vials
- Compatible with Micronic, Azenta (FluidX), Thermo Fisher (Matrix) and many more
Automated vial weighing with high-accuracy balance integration
MultiVial’s collaborative design allows technicians to work safely in the same space. With an intuitive and simple interface, minimal training is required for new users. Weigh to an accuracy of up to 5 d.p. and mark up to 864 1ml vials or a combination of sizes in the same run.- Smart rack detection technology automatically detects the presence of racks as the user places them onto the instrument
- Priority selection allows the user to prioritise a particular rack
- Integrated antistatic bars and draft shield allow the balance to tare quickly for efficient weighing
2D barcode scanning and sample tracking for better data integrity
Efficient sample tracking is crucial for streamlined workflows. By incorporating 2D barcode scanning the system can instantly capture and trace sample information, ensuring seamless tracking throughout the process. This technology reduces human error, enhances data integrity, and significantly speeds up processes. With real-time vial tracking and automated record-keeping, your lab can improve overall productivity while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.- Streamline workflows throughout the lab process
- Eliminate human error
- Increase throughput, efficiency and data integrity

MultiVial FAQs
MultiVial is a benchtop automated vial handling platform for laser marking, barcode tracking and high-accuracy weighing of glass and plastic vials.
Novo Nordisk
“We are lucky to have a Labman MultiVial device already up and running in our lab for laser tube marking. It saves time in the lab and keeps the label crisp even on small plastic vials. The interface for the software is easy to navigate and many colleagues are happy to use it. No more pens and stickers. A game changer, especially for small plastic vials in smart stores.” — Steffen SchmidtPrincipal Scientist, Novo Nordisk
