Cryogenic Barcode Labels - 2″ x 0.25″

CryoSTUCK® – Thermal-Transfer Cryogenic Labels for Frozen Vials & Surfaces

• Ultra-resistant adhesive ensures no flagging or detachment when stored in liquid nitrogen
• Thermal-transfer printable for the best printout and barcode quality
• Ideal for labeling ambient temperature as well as frozen surfaces without thawing first
• No overlap or wrap-around required for proper adhesion
• Wide temperature range resistance

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 our cryo markers.

*On frozen surfaces, to ensure the best adhesion, it is recommended that heavy residual frost be removed with a lint-free cloth prior to affixing CryoSTUCK labels.

They are also resistant to spraying with ethanol, isopropanol, and other alcohols, bleach, and detergents (testing recommended), as well as routine wiping and rubbing with surface sanitizing wipes such as Sani- Wipe™, Eco-Wipe™, and Eco-Wipe™ Duo.

NitroTAG labels can be printed with all major brands of thermal-transfer printers. They are available in a range of colors and sizes and can be printed with alphanumeric text, as well as 1D and 2D barcodes.
