If you’re a Transfusion Trainer or LIMS specialist, you know the drill: the constant struggle of preparing realistic, compliant blood component units for essential training and system testing.
You’ve scraped ice off frozen products, vigorously wiped down copier glass, cut out images, and laminated them only to watch them expire a few days or weeks later, forcing you to repeat the laborious cycle.
The Solution is Here: The Only Cells Blood Component Barcode Generator
I’ve built a lightweight, web-based tool that eliminates the manual burden, allowing you to generate perfectly compliant and scannable blood component labels instantly. No more messy paperwork. No more out-of-date photocopies. Just validated, digital units ready for use.

What makes this tool essential:
✅ Guaranteed Compliance: The generator produces barcodes that adhere strictly to the ISBT 128 standard, including correct formatting for Donation ID, Blood Group, Expiry Date, and, crucially, mathematically validated checksums for accurate LIMS testing.
✅ Instant Scannability: Barcodes can be scanned directly from your screen during simulation, or the generated image can be downloaded for printing or incorporating into training documentation.
✅ Dynamic Flexibility: Simply input your desired unit number, blood group, component code, and expiry date. The tool instantly renders the complete, realistic component label overlay.
