These cryogenic labels provide an all-in-one solution for cryo storage as they firmly adhere to both ambient and already frozen surfaces (as low as -80°C/-112°F) without the need for thawing, cure time, or any other special treatment. They maintain excellent long-term adhesion when stored under cryogenic conditions. Due to their special adhesive and conformable design, these cryo labels can be applied onto both flat and curved surfaces, ideal for identifying cryo vials, microtubes, as well as cardboard and polycarbonate storage boxes destined for long-term storage in liquid nitrogen tanks (-196°C/-321°F), ultra-low temperature freezers (-80°C) and dry ice transportation. Perfectly suited for identifying vials destined for immediate immersion in liquid nitrogen as well as labeling already frozen vials without having to thaw them first, thus preserving the biological integrity of the frozen specimens.
These permanent cryo labels will also resist elevated temperatures up to +121°C/+249°F and are perfectly suitable for identifying containers destined for heated water bath thawing directly after removal from ultra-low temperature storage. Furthermore, these durable labels will resist standard steam autoclave sterilization conditions (+121°C/+249°F, 16psi, 20 minutes).
Compatible with most common thermal-transfer printers, these labels’ printout displays an optimal resistance to routinely used laboratory chemicals like alcohols, acetone, xylene, disinfecting solutions, and surface-sanitizing wipes when printed by our recommended XAR-class ink ribbon. They can also be written on with cryo markers.
