Ever wondered how laboratories, biobanks, and research facilities keep track of delicate samples stored at ultra-low temperatures? It all comes down to labeling—but not just any label will do. When dealing with cryogenic storage, labels must withstand extreme conditions without smudging, peeling, or becoming unreadable. That’s where cryogenic labels designed for DYMO® LabelWriter™ printers come into play. These dymo cryo labels ensure that everything from biological samples to pharmaceutical compounds remains clearly identified, even in temperatures as low as -196°C.
Why Cryogenic Labels Matter
In any lab setting, precision is everything. One misidentified vial can lead to lost research, compromised results, or worse, a complete restart of an experiment. Cryogenic labels solve this problem by providing durable, legible, and temperature-resistant identification for various sample types, ensuring no detail is lost to frost or condensation.
From DNA samples and cell cultures to blood, plasma, and chemical reagents, these labels keep everything properly cataloged, making retrieval and tracking a seamless process. Without them, chaos is only one misplaced sample away.
What Information Do Cryogenic Labels Contain?
These labels don’t just display a sample name and date. They hold critical data that can include:
-
Sample ID and barcode for easy scanning
-
Storage conditions to ensure proper handling
-
Researcher or patient information for accurate tracking
-
Expiration dates to prevent use of outdated materials
-
Hazard symbols to indicate any risks associated with handling
With this level of detail, lab professionals can instantly access the necessary information without needing to defrost samples or dig through paper records.
Handling and Applying Cryogenic Labels Correctly
Not all labels are created equal, and proper handling is key to ensuring they perform as expected. Applying a cryogenic label incorrectly can lead to adhesion failure, which means samples could go unidentified. Here’s how to get it right:
-
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the label.
-
Use gloves to prevent oils from the skin from interfering with adhesion.
-
Apply at room temperature whenever possible, as some adhesives need time to set before exposure to extreme cold.
-
Avoid repositioning the label too many times, as this can weaken the adhesive.
-
Use compatible printers, like the DYMO® LabelWriter™ 5 Series, to ensure crisp, smudge-free prints.
With these best practices, labels stay firmly in place, and readability remains intact, even in subzero storage.
