Tamper proof ink-jet printing identification system for open and sealed CBS™ High Security straws.

- print exactly the number of requested straws for a sample
- print exactly the same code on the straws as the sample to ensure the link

The SIDE system consists of the straw handling system, a PC with pilot software and an ink-jet printing system.
