Transparent Cryogenic Laser Labels for Frozen Vials – 1.28″ x 0.5″ #LCY-23TR
Description
CryoSTUCK® – Transparent Cryogenic Laser Labels for Frozen Vials
- Ideal for identifying containers without thawing them, preserving sensitive samples
- Clear label gives a direct “printed-on” effect without obscuring the surface underneath
- Easy template set-up and printable with office and desktop laser printers (will not jam printers or require special toner)
- Can also be written on with pens, most permanent markers, and our indelible Cryo-Markers
Designed for long-term preservation in liquid nitrogen (-196°C/-321°F), these transparent CryoSTUCK® labels are designed for direct, immediate adhesion onto difficult-to-label surfaces such as frozen cryo vials, tubes, and cryo boxes, at temperatures as low as -80°C/-112°F. Also perfect for dry ice transportation, they can withstand temperatures up to +121°C (+250°F), high humidity conditions, and thawing in heated water baths.
Printable in most common brands of desktop laser printers to obtain a crisp, scratch-resistant printout that also resists wiping with common sanitizing agents. They can be applied on frozen vials and tubes without needing an overlap, extra lamination, or cure time. Ideal for use in research institutes, clinical laboratories, biobanks, biorepositories, and biotechnology companies.
