NitroTAG® with SimPEEL™ Technology – Cryogenic Barcode Labels for Liquid Nitrogen Storage (PATENT PENDING)
Cryogenic labels for identifying small diameter cryo vials, tubes, plates, cardboard freezer boxes, polypropylene cryo-boxes, and plastic bags. These cryo labels feature our new patent-pending SimPEEL™ technology, making peeling them off their liner quick and easy. Their innovative adhesive-free tab design also makes the label’s application on their destined container hassle-free, as they won’t stick to your hands or gloves, eliminating in this fashion adhesive contamination. Ideal for routine, high-volume container identification in hospitals, clinics, blood collection centers, biotechnology companies, biorepositories, and others. They are designed for long-term cryo storage under cryogenic laboratory conditions, including liquid nitrogen (-196°C/-321°F), freezers (-80°C/-112°F), and for dry ice transport. Labels can be printed with all major brands of thermal-transfer printers.
Benefits:
- Resistant to extreme cryogenic conditions – as low as -196°C; with zero curing time
- SimPEEL technology allows for effortless peeling and application
- Adhere to wet and moist surfaces
- Resistant to spraying and swabbing with alcohol and sanitizing wipes
- Permanent adhesion, especially on curved surfaces (vials & microtubes)
