Interscience DataLink™ Petri dish labelling solution

The Interscience dataLink is a complete labeling solution designed to optimize traceability and compliance in microbiological workflows. It automates the identification of Petri dishes by printing precise, standardized labels that function as digital identity cards for each sample. When connected to Interscience systems such as the easySpiral® plater and Scan® colony counters, dataLink ensures full automation of plating, incubation, and colony counting parameters while reducing manual entry errors.

The solution includes:

• A thermal transfer label printer
• Dedicated dataLink software
• A barcode scanner
• Adhesive labels and consumables

It complies with 21 CFR Part 11, providing a secure audit trail and multi-user management to meet GLP/GMP and regulatory requirements in pharmaceutical, food, clinical, and cosmetic microbiology labs.

Key Features
