Destructible Cryogenic Thermal-Transfer Labels – 1.625″ x 0.625″ #CTDB-232

Yes, Cryo C-KurTAG^™ are thermal-transfer transfer labels that require a ribbon to be printed with a thermal printer. To achieve a smudge-proof printout, we recommend a RR-class ribbon that matches the label dimensions and core requirements of your printer.

No, these labels can be printed on most thermal-transfer printers, such as the Zebra ZD621 and Cab Squix 4. Contact our  technical support team to request samples for test printing on your printer model.

No, Cryo C-KurTAG labels are best applied at room temperature. If you need a tamper-evident solution for already frozen surfaces, we recommend our tamper-evident tape for frozen containers.

Yes, these destructible labels can be used to label samples prior to storing them in low temperature freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks for prolonged periods.

Yes, these labels can withstand heated water bath immersion (up to +56°C/+132°F) for at least 30 minutes if previously stored at -80°C (-112°F). For more information consult our experienced support team.

Yes, the destructible labels resist multiple freeze-thaw cycles when stored in low temperatures, such as -80°C freezers, and thawed in heated water baths (up to 56°C). Prior testing of destructible labels on your desired surface and storage conditions is strongly recommended. Please contact our technical support team to request samples.

Yes, these labels will resist dry heat temperatures, up to +100°C (+212°F).

No, Cryo C-KurTAG labels cannot be removed once applied. Any attempt to remove these labels will cause them to tear, or destruct into small pieces, indicating that the label has been tampered with. For more information consult our experienced support team.

Tamper-evident refers to labels that will tear, or leave a distinct sign when removed, to indicate tampering. Destructible labels completely destruct into small pieces upon any attempt to remove them. Tamper-proof labels break when tampered with, indicating that the sealed container has been opened.

Yes, these labels may work as tamper-proof labels in low temperatures and flat surfaces, such as -80°C freezers, boxes and plates. Prior testing of destructible labels on your desired surface and storage conditions is strongly recommended. Please contact our technical support team to request samples.

Yes, when printed with our recommended RR-class ribbon, the printout of these labels exhibits resistance to incidental contact with harsh chemicals and solvents, such as alcohol, DMSO, and disinfecting solutions.

Yes, we offer a destructible tape version of these labels. Our writable cryogenic tape will withstand low temperatures and has the same destructible feature.

Please consult our handy sizing guide where you will find recommendations for the most common vial/tube sizes.

Label design and barcoding software can be used to create templates that conform to the size of your label. You can then insert design elements within the template, for easy printing.

Yes, we can provide our Cryo C-KurTAG labels preprinted with full-color graphics, logos, as well as variable data, and custom sized to your specific requirements. Learn more about our custom printing options.
