Description
CryoSTUCK® – Direct Thermal Cryo Labels for Frozen Vials and Surfaces (Patented)
- Quick labeling of frozen vials and tubes (no thawing required)
- Withstand exposure to chemicals, water baths, and condensation
- Compatible with most common direct thermal printers
- Convenient to print, no need for ribbons or other ink sources
CryoSTUCK® direct thermal printable cryogenic labels are specially designed to be affixed onto already frozen vials, frozen surfaces, and frozen containers (as low as -80°C/-112°F). Labeling samples without having to thaw them first makes these labels an ideal choice for identifying valuable temperature-sensitive samples and specimens. These permanent cryogenic labels resist low-temperature environments, including long-term storage in liquid nitrogen (-196°C/-321°F), ultra-low temperature freezers (-80°C/-112°F), as well as dry ice transport. The permanent adhesive will keep the label from detaching or flagging over time under liquid nitrogen conditions and withstand subsequent thawing in heated water baths. Compatible with common direct thermal printers, these labels display resistance to routinely used laboratory chemicals like detergents, ethanol, disinfecting solutions, as well as surface-sanitizing wipes, making them ideal for use in research facilities, clinical laboratories, biobanks, biotechnology companies, and others.

Frequently Asked Questions
These cryogenic labels are compatible with most common direct thermal printers.
No, these direct thermal labels are not compatible with DYMO printers. For DYMO-compatible CryoSTUCK labels, see here.
No, direct thermal CryoSTUCK labels do not require a ribbon or any other ink source to print.
No, an overlap is not required for the proper adhesion of these cryogenic labels on ambient or frozen, curved and flat surfaces.
Yes, 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, 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.
No, direct thermal CryoSTUCK labels are not designed to be applied over an existing label. To cover-up existing labels, our blackout CryoSTUCK labels will conceal pre-existing information, while our clear CryoSTUCK labels can be applied over an existing label, acting as a laminate to reinforce it.
Yes, these labels are resistant to commonly used laboratory chemicals such as detergents, ethanol, disinfecting solutions, and surface-sanitizing wipes.
No, these CryoSTUCK labels have a permanent adhesive that is not made for easy removal.
Please consult our handy sizing guide, where you will find recommendations for the most common vial/tube sizes.
Yes, barcoding or label design software, such as BarTender and ZebraDesigner can be used to create templates that conform to your label’s size. You can then insert design elements within the template for easy printing.
Yes, direct thermal CryoSTUCK labels can be preprinted with graphics and logos, as well as variable or serialized information from a database. Learn more about our custom printing options.
