Blackout CryoSTUCK®- Cryogenic Laser Labels for Frozen Surfaces
Blackout CryoSTUCK labels, are laser printable cryogenic labels specifically designed to be applied onto previously frozen (-80°C)* surfaces, prior to storage in low temperature conditions, including liquid nitrogen (-196°C). Their unique blackout layer perfectly conceals pre-existing information, ideal as an over-label for frozen containers and vials where no thawing is necessary, thereby preserving the biological integrity of sensitive specimens and samples.
Tested and proven to withstand extreme conditions, they can be applied effortlessly onto frozen surfaces and cryo vials, even those frozen at an ultra-low temperature of -80°C, then stored directly in liquid nitrogen or inside -80°C freezers. In addition to their cryogenic resistance, these labels are resistant to heated water bath thawing, remaining attached and legible throughout the thawing process. Our labels will also withstand elevated temperatures up to +121°C, making them ideal for use in autoclaves or heat-based sterilization processes.
Blackout CryoSTUCK labels are printable with most common brands of laser printers to obtain sharp printout that is resistant to spraying with alcohol or rubbing with sanitizing wipes. Suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including cryo vials, microtubes, as well as cardboard and polycarbonate boxes, these labels are designed to completely cover and conceal pre-existing information, such as alphanumeric text, barcodes, or any other information that needs to be obscured.
* To ensure proper adhesion, please remove excess frost prior to affixing the label.
Benefits:
- Ideal for permanently obscuring pre-existing information
- Remain intact and readable in ultra-low temperature conditions as low as -196°C
- Quick template set-up, and printable with office and desktop laser printers (will not jam printers)

No, an overlap is not required for the proper adhesion of these cryogenic labels on curved and flat frozen surfaces.
Yes, these blackout CryoSTUCK labels have been specially designed for identifying already frozen surfaces. They can be affixed at a minimum temperature of -80°C/-112°F, eliminating the need to thaw valuable samples.
To ensure proper application of these labels, wipe the surface with a clean lint-free disposable wipe (e.g: KimWipe™) prior to affixing the label to remove excess frost. Apply the edge of the label first and press firmly to anchor it, while avoiding excessive contact with the adhesive. Then press the label securely into position along the vials’ entire circumference.
Yes, these blackout CryoSTUCK labels can be used to label samples prior to storing them in low-temperature freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks for prolonged periods.
No, the vials can be stored in liquid nitrogen (-196°C/-321°F) or ultra-low temperature freezers (-80°C/-112°F) immediately following label application, requiring no cure time.
Yes, these blackout CryoSTUCK labels have a unique opaque design that allows them to conceal pre-existing data and labels. Perfect for covering-up obsolete information while still being able to be applied on frozen surfaces.
