As the UK’s leading Premier Distribution Partner for Brady Corporation, Omser cover the whole of the UK, specialising in providing the best products, service and support into the UK’s laboratory market.
From small handheld label printers for low volume applications to full benchtop systems for higher volumes & flexibility, coupled with a wide range of laboratory specific labelling materials, we help users find the right solution for their needs.
With dedicated laboratory printing software, RFID labelling capabilities, a full range of scanners and readers, and the ability to print direct from your own systems, the laboratory solutions from Omser offer something for every laboratory identification application no matter how big or small.
We also offer bespoke solutions for sample tracking, whether with GS1 barcode labels or RFID technology to allow for tracking of samples throughout any process across multiple locations.
GS1 sample tracking utilizes standardized barcodes (GIAI & GTIN) to uniquely identify, locate, and track laboratory or medical samples through their entire lifecycle—from collection to lab analysis. This solution ensures real-time visibility, reduces errors, and maintains strict chain of custody.
As GS1 standards are global, samples can be seamlessly transferred between different labs while maintaining a verifiable digital record always ensuring interoperability
“Unidentified samples and illegible labelling pose a multitude of problems and
issues within the laboratory environment…”
Avoid sample loss by identifying every sample in your laboratory with professional laboratory labels from Brady. The labels are engineered to stay attached and remain legible in the most challenging laboratory conditions when printed with a Brady printer. Sample labels will not smudge or smear when exposed to typical laboratory chemicals, unlike handwritten labels. They are precise, reliable and efficient. Labels can be easily designed and printed in the laboratory, will stay attached on every sample and remain legible throughout processing and in storage even down to -196°C.
SPECIALIST MATERIALS include
• Cryogenic Materials
• Water Dissolvable Labels for Easy Cleanup
• Sterilisation Indicating Labels
• Colour Changing Labels
• Pre-coloured labels
• RFID Labels & Tags
From Freezers to Autoclaves, specially developed laboratory label materials ensure sample integrity even in the harshest storage environments. Print on demand, even in full colour.

SIMPLIFY YOUR LAB IDENTIFICATION with Brady Tube, Vial & Slide Labels
Brady’s vial and test tube labels are designed to withstand extreme laboratory solvents like Xylene, Ethanol, Alcohol and DMSO, ensuring that the specimen identification is always legible - and will not smear, fade or fall off. VIAL TOP LABELS: Save time by using the Vial and Vial top combination labels - print your information in one go SLIDE LABELS: Brady offers labels specifically designed to identify slides and to resist exposure to harsh chemicals during the slide staining process. They perform well in the haematoxylin and eosin slide staining process and offer superior chemical resistance also useful in other laboratory contexts. CRYO TUBES & VIALS: Brady offers a range of labels designed specifically to identify laboratory samples for cryo storage. These labels can be applied to room temperature or to already frozen samples, albeit with a small overlap. The label will remain legible and will stick to the sample container during processing, even when exposed to extreme heat or chemicals like DMSO, Xylene and Ethanol, ensuring secure sample identification in the most challenging laboratory conditions
MULTIPLE LABELS at one time with Brady PCR Labels
Instead of labelling every PCR tube separately, up to 8 PCR tubes can be identified simultaneously. The B-492 PCR tube label contains 8 smaller, perforated labels in a single label strip. The self-adhesive strip can be applied on 8 PCR tube labels in a rack and can easily be torn after application into separate PCR tube labels thanks to the perforations.

SPECIALISED MATERIALS for every laboratory application
B7425 LABORATORY LABEL is an excellent solution to track samples. It is designed to stay attached and remain legible in a wide range of sample collection, sample processing, microbiology and cryogenic applications. The polypropylene label is able to resist liquid nitrogen, freezers, hot water baths, autoclaves and common laboratory chemicals, and is ideal to identify vials, tubes, slides, well plates and other specimen containers made out of glass, stainless steel or polypropylene. This makes the label very useful in sample collection, sample processing, microbiology and cryogenic applications WATER DISSOLVABLE LABELS: B-403 water dissolvable paper label dissolves completely within 30 seconds exposure to warm water without damaging the surface or leaving sticky residue, making it ideal to label items that need new identification after every use. B-7600 CLEAR CRYO LABEL enables visual sample checks Keep samples identified through multiple freezing cycles Keep cryogenic vials, tubes and storage boxes identified through multiple freezing cycles for optimal laboratory sample traceability with the B-7600 clear cryo label. The label allows visual sample contents checks and resists temperatures ranging from – 191°C to 121°C STERILIZATION INDICATING LABELS: The new B-7425-AC label is a steam sterilization indicating label, and is developed for use in autoclaves. The label changes colour from white to brown when exposed to autoclave conditions at 121°C for 10 minutes, and also displays the word 'sterilized'. Laboratory specialists will get a clear, visual indication to quickly see which sample containers are sterile.
