How to Print QR Labels and Export Label Data in TissueCulture Pro
Labels are where digital records meet the physical lab. TissueCulture Pro includes built-in label printing and label data exports so labs can label cultures, plants, media, acclimatization records, and inventory lots in a way that points back to the software.
Key takeaways
- Open Label Studio from supported plant, culture, media, acclimatization, or inventory records.
- Customize size, QR placement, visible fields, field order, logo, text, and output format.
- Create print-ready PDFs or PNGs for built-in label workflows.
- Export CSV or JSON label data for external tools such as BarTender, Loftware, NiceLabel, ZebraDesigner, or custom scripts.
Use Label Studio for built-in printing
Open the label workflow from the record type you want to label. Choose the label source, copies, label size, sheet or roll mode, QR settings, visible fields, field order, prefixes, and branding options.
The preview helps confirm the label before printing or exporting. For thermal workflows, print-ready PDF output can create one label per page at the selected size.
Use QR codes to get back to records
QR labels let the physical item point back to the record in TissueCulture Pro. Use the scanner workflow to open supported records quickly from a printed label.
This reduces the bench-to-screen friction that often causes records to drift from the real material.
Export label data for external software
If your lab already uses dedicated label software, configure Label Exports in Settings. Create profiles that map TissueCulture Pro source fields to the column headers your external template expects.
Then, from Label Studio, choose the export profile and export CSV or JSON data for the external label workflow.
- Built-in print, PDF, and PNG outputs
- QR-enabled labels for supported records
- Saved column mappings for external label software
- CSV and JSON label data exports
Put this into a working system
TissueCulture Pro is built to turn these record-keeping ideas into connected plant tissue culture workflows.

Can TissueCulture Pro print labels directly?
Yes. Label Studio supports built-in label design, preview, printing, PDF output, and PNG export for supported record types.
Can I use external label software?
Yes. Label Exports can produce CSV or JSON data with mapped column headers for external label workflows.
What can QR labels do?
They help users scan a physical label and open the matching TissueCulture Pro record quickly.
