UHF RFID Test Tube Tag ID-1540-U8 (15 × 40 mm, UCODE 8)
A 15 × 40 mm UHF RFID label on the NXP UCODE 8 chip, sized for test tubes, vials and small sample containers so labs can read a rack of samples instead of scanning barcodes one by one.

Overview
UHF RFID test tube tag for lab sample tracking
Barcode labels on tubes have to be scanned one at a time and in line of sight. The ID-1540-U8 is a narrow 15 × 40 mm UHF label sized to wrap a test tube or vial, so each sample carries a unique ID that a UHF reader can pick up without lining up a scanner. Built on the NXP UCODE 8 chip with a 128-bit EPC, it links each tube to its record in your laboratory or inventory system.
Reading tubes in practice
The read range is listed up to 8 m, but a tag wrapped on a tube of liquid behaves very differently from one on a flat card. Water absorbs UHF energy, so the usable range drops sharply. Labs therefore usually read at rack or tray level, with a UHF desktop reader at the bench or a handheld held close to the samples. Test with filled tubes in your own racks before deciding where readers go.
Applying and encoding
- Wrap the label around the tube body so it lies smooth, without creases
- Encode sample IDs at a desktop reader or a UHF RFID printer at the labelling bench
- Keep a printed barcode on the tube if your analysers still need one
