About this item
DYMO compatible labels for already frozen surfaces will adhere to frozen vials and containers under deep-freeze conditions (–80 °C /–112 °F), eliminating the need to thaw samples beforehand, and can then be placed immediately back into storage in liquid nitrogen (–196 °C /–321 °F).
- Temperature range: –196 to 70 °C (–321 to 158 °F)
- Quick labeling of frozen vials and tubes (no thawing required)
- Will withstand exposure to solvents, water baths, and condensation
- Compatible with the 450 series and 4XL DYMO® LabelWriters
- Convenient to print; no need for ribbons or other ink source
Compatible with DYMO 450 LabelWriter printers, these solvent-resistant cryogenic labels are specially designed to be directly applied to already frozen surfaces like vials and tubes stored under deep freeze conditions (–80 °C /–112 °F), which are normally very challenging to label. These labels help preserve the integrity of valuable temperature-sensitive samples and specimens, since there is no need to thaw the containers before attaching them to the frozen vial. They come with a permanent adhesive that will keep the label from falling off or flagging over time under liquid nitrogen’s conditions. Hence, once the labels are applied, the containers/vials can be returned for long-term preservation in liquid nitrogen (–196 °C /–321 °F) or ultra-low temperature freezers (–80 °C). In addition, these labels are ideal for use in research institutes, clinical laboratories, biobanks, biotechnology companies, and others.
Labels display excellent resistance to routinely used laboratory chemicals like detergents, alcohols (100% Ethanol immersion up to 15 minutes), acetone, xylene (immersion up to 30 minutes), disinfecting solutions, as well as surface sanitizing wipes.
