The [AFYS]3G Lambda8 Information Marking System provides permanent, high-resolution laser engraving for labware, enabling direct marking of tubes and racks with text, barcodes, and sample IDs. Designed for durability and efficiency, it eliminates labels and ink while ensuring reliable identification that withstands chemicals, abrasion, and extreme temperatures.
The Lambda8 Information Marking System is a high-precision laser engraving solution designed for laboratories that require absolute reliability in sample identification. By engraving directly onto labware surfaces, Lambda8 removes the risks associated with traditional labeling methods—eliminating issues like peeling labels, ink degradation, and manual relabeling. The result is a permanent, maintenance-free identification process that improves traceability, reduces human error, and supports long-term sample integrity across research, storage, and transport.
Built for real-world lab environments, Lambda8 combines precision engineering with practical usability. Its compact benchtop design integrates easily into existing workflows, while its advanced laser system delivers consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of labware types. Whether used in research labs, biobanking, or high-throughput sample management, Lambda8 provides a scalable and dependable marking solution.
Its compact benchtop design makes it easy to integrate into existing lab setups without disrupting workflows. Measuring 253 x 279 x 481 mm (9.96 x 10.98 x 18.94 inches) and weighing just 13 kg (28.7 lbs), the Lambda8 is engineered for space-efficient placement while still delivering industrial-grade performance and precision.
Lambda8 utilizes a finely controlled laser system to produce high-resolution, permanent markings directly within the surface of tubes and racks. This allows for exceptional clarity and durability, even when marking very small areas or complex identifiers.
The system supports a wide range of marking types, enabling labs to standardize identification while maintaining flexibility across applications. From simple sample IDs to complex tracking systems, Lambda8 ensures every mark is applied with precision and consistency.
Unlike surface-level labeling solutions, Lambda8 engraves information directly into the material, creating a mark that becomes part of the labware itself. This fundamentally changes the durability of the identification, ensuring it remains intact regardless of environmental exposure.
In demanding lab settings—where samples may be exposed to chemicals, temperature fluctuations, or long-term storage—this level of permanence is critical. Lambda8 ensures that identification is never compromised, even under the harshest conditions.
Lambda8 is designed to adapt to the diversity of lab environments without requiring workflow changes or specialized consumables. Its flexible configuration supports both individual tubes and standardized rack formats, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The system accommodates tubes from 0.30 mL to 15.00 mL, covering common sample storage formats used across research and clinical labs. It can process one ANSI/SLAS-format rack or up to 25 individual tubes per run, allowing users to choose the most efficient approach for their workflow.
The Lambda8 software is designed to give users full control over the marking process without adding complexity. Its intuitive interface allows for quick setup and repeatable execution, helping labs maintain consistency across operators and workflows.
Users can create and store templates for commonly used formats, reducing setup time and minimizing variability. The system also enables precise placement of markings, including engraving on non-transparent areas of tubes to ensure readability regardless of sample contents.
By removing the need for labels, ink, or ribbons, Lambda8 significantly reduces ongoing operational costs and maintenance requirements. This not only simplifies lab workflows but also supports more sustainable practices by minimizing waste.
The system’s high-speed engraving capability—up to 4000 mm/s—allows labs to maintain efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. Combined with minimal maintenance needs, Lambda8 delivers a reliable, low-intervention solution for long-term use.
For laboratories that require additional environmental control, Lambda8 offers an optional air filtration system designed to capture particles generated during the engraving process. This helps maintain a cleaner workspace and ensures consistent system performance over time, particularly in enclosed or sensitive lab settings.
