Labels are an important part of the laboratory, performing the critical function of identifying and tracing items such as samples and equipment. These laboratory specialist labels must withstand the extreme conditions inherent in laboratory processes, including low-temperature storage, autoclaving, and exposure to aggressive chemicals and solvents. The labels listed below provide a reliable and effective solution to meet the specific and stringent labeling requirements of the laboratory.

1) Labels resistant to ultra cryogenic conditions
Cryogenic storage is an important tool for laboratories and hospitals because many samples need to be stored at ultra-low temperatures. Cryogenic labels serve as an effective means of identifying samples stored under these cryogenic conditions, because they are designed to withstand ultra-cold conditions, dry ice and liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic labels are available in a variety of sizes and fit any container, including cryovials, microplates and IVF straws. Cryogenic labels are available for use with thermal transfer printers.

2) Labels resistant to autoclaving
Autoclaving/steam sterilization is a key process used in laboratories to kill microorganisms on laboratory equipment and waste. This process uses high temperature and pressure, so specialized labels that can withstand these hight heat and pressure conditions are required. Autoclave-resistant labels provide effective identification of sterilizable items and are available in a variety of sizes for use with thermal transfer printerd.

3) Labels resistant to Chemical
Chemicals and disinfectants are common in the lab, but standard labels are not strong enough to withstand the abrasive nature of these substances. Specialized chemical and solvent resistant labels can provide exceptional resistance to xylene, ethanol, acetone and other harsh chemicals. These specialized labels can also provide abrasion resistance, such as wipe resistance. The chemical resistant labels can be supplied pre-printed for use on TT printers with the Ricoh B110CU resin ribbon.
