Labels for Histology

LabTAG® provides labels and ribbons for every step of the histological process, from tissue extraction and preparation to staining and imaging. Our xylene-resistant labels for histology are designed for microscope slides, paraffin wax blocks, plastic containers, slide boxes stored in deep-freeze conditions, and resin embedding.  

Our chemical-resistant labels withstand direct exposure to and immersion in xylene, toluene, alcohols, formalin, hexane, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile (ACN), as well as other harsh chemicals and organic solvents.
