Cryogenic, waterproof labels suitable for cryovials, microtubes, microplates, glass tubes, freezer boxes, plastic bags and other types of containers for storage in liquid and vapor phase nitrogen (-196°C), laboratory freezers (-120ºC, -80ºC, -20ºC), and transportation on dry ice.
Comprised of a thin thermoplastic film and a special cryogenic adhesive, these durable labels do not become brittle or crack, and have a strong affinity for polyethylene, polypropylene and other plastic and glass surfaces. They also resist smearing without additional lamination or wrap-around.
Available in white or a variety of colors upon request. Supplied in roll format and are compatible with all major brands of direct thermal barcode printers, such as Zebra, Intermec, Citizen, Cognitive, Printronix, Datamax O`Neil, SATO and others. They can also be written on with our cryo- or permanent markers.
We can provide complete printing kits that include a 300 DPI high-resolution printer, 5000 cryogenic labels of your choice (1.5” x 1” or smaller), and a Barcoding software.
The labels are resistant to standard ethylene oxide gas sterilization, consisting of a 60-minute exposure to 759mg/L of ethylene oxide gas, at 55oC, and 40-80% relative humidity, followed by a two-hour aeration cycle.
