Cryogenic Labels

Cryogenic Labels

We supply labels that are perfect for your laboratory testing.

Our labels are made in the UK using materials made specially for items submerged directly into liquid nitrogen at -196 °C. They have a robust adhesive, strong enough to withstand thermal shock, which eliminates the problem of your labels peeling off. This is critical for laboratories looking for reliable label identification on samples that need to withstand long-term deep freezing or direct contact with liquid nitrogen.

Our cryogenic labels use an adhesive that is chemically inert, perfect for any sensitive lab applications. They can be used in any industry working with biological or other temperature-sensitive material.

These cryogenic labels are easily applied to frozen surfaces – down to minus 29C – or lower if they are wrapped onto themselves. Apply them to cryovials, sample tubes, freezer boxes and metal racks stored in liquid nitrogen or dry ice.

You’re able to print onto these labels using a thermal transfer printer and a easily available resin ink ribbon. Barcodes and text can be printed from a spreadsheet, database of keyed in. Print clear barcode scanable labels yourself with our cryogenic labels and an inexpensive label printer.

As well as extreme cold, some of our Cryogenic labels material can reach the bottom end of Autoclave temperatures. Perfect if your application cycles through a wide range of temperatures.

Freeze the Day

Cryogenic labels aren’t limited to plain white labels. This is an example of a Transfer Plate label. The label can be stored down to 196C but the label is printed with colour and is die cut so sections can be peeled off by the end user.

Cryogenic labels are usually supplied on rolls for printing with thermal printers, but we can supply ink-jet printable labels of many different shapes and sizes. They are finished in matte or satin white and come in a range of material thicknesses from 50 microns to 85 microns.
