Smart Label with 2D Data Matrix GS1 Barcode

Data Access Made Easy

Accessing product-related data for different raw materials in your pharmaceutical production process can be a time-consuming task and a source for potential errors. With our new Smart Labels, we give your data processing efforts a helpful boost.

Our Life Science product labels for pharma raw and starting materials, as well as for within laboratories used chemicals, will feature a 2D Data Matrix GS1 barcode. These 2D barcodes will provide seamless access to essential product information: Item Code, Batch Number, Shelf Life, and Global Trade Item Number (GTIN).

Features and Benefits

  • Direct access to product data encoded in the Global Standard One (GS1)
  • Easy data processing in a broad range of systems (e.g. EPR, LIMS, labware system) through Application Identifier Codes (see for details GS1 general specification)
  • The Scan Now website provides access to additional product information such as Emprove® Dossiers, CoAs, Safety Data Sheets, Specifications, Brochures and technical information
  • Minimize scanning problems thanks to error correction coding of incorporated data

How Does It Work?

Simply scan the 2D barcode to retrieve our product data. Thanks to the Global Standard One (GS1), you can easily process retrieved data in your own systems, or you can use our new Scan Now Website.
