Xylene and chemical-resistant labels for the identification of microscope slides that will undergo long-term chemical exposure and immersion.
- Temperature range: −80 to +120 °C
- Excellent stain resistance, ideal for microscope slides used in histology
- Recommended for routine as well as special staining protocols
- Compatible with automated slide processors
- Waterproof and abrasion-resistant
- Compatible with all common thermal transfer barcode printers
- XAR-class resin ribbon recommended
Intended for use on flat surfaces, these solvent-resistant labels, along with their printout, can withstand immersion in xylene for up to 15 hours on a microscope slide (thorough testing in end-user application conditions is highly recommended). They are also resistant to other common lab chemicals, such as alcohols, toluene, and acetone, including long-term exposure and immersion in the newer generation of safer clearing and deparaffinising xylene substitutes such as EZ Prep, Clearify™, Histo-Clear™, Formula 83™, and Pro-Par.
Compatible with all major commercially available thermal transfer barcode printers, these chemical-resistant histology labels can be printed with alphanumeric text, 1D and 2D barcodes, and serialised numbers using the recommended XAR-class of chemical-resistant ribbons.
Withstand exposure to xylene, toluene, hexane, acetone, alcohols, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetonitrile (ACN), and other common solvents. Resistant to the new generation of safer, non-toxic, xylene alternatives/substitutes.
