The idea of a TubeWriter that would print DIRECTLY on 1.5ml microcentrifuge tubes was conceived in 1999. Bud Duong and his lab mates would constantly complain about how hand labeling tubes was a real PAIN and a waste of time.
That is why we decided to make the TubeWriter - an affordable, benchtop solution that directly writes on the tubes, slides and plates that you commonly use.
