Direct Cryogenic Labeling & Liquid Nitrogen Storage | E-4812 / E-4802

Basic Application Information

Existing Process & Problems

Biological samples are temperature-sensitive and may be stored for many years. Conventional labels can be difficult to apply to frozen tube surfaces and may crack, lift or detach during long-term cryogenic storage, compromising sample identification and traceability.

Solution

E-4812 / E-4802 is engineered for demanding cryogenic environments. It supports both automated and manual application and can be applied directly to cold or frozen tubes without warming the samples. Its main performance features include:

• Direct cryogenic application

  Applies to cold or frozen cryovials without thawing or warming the sample.

• Liquid nitrogen storage

  Maintains reliable, stable adhesion under deep-cold conditions — resists cracking, lifting and detachment.

• Freeze-thaw & chemical resistance

  Withstands repeated freeze-thaw cycling and wiping with common laboratory reagents.

• Clear printability

  Supports text, barcode and QR-code printing for reliable sample identification and traceability.

Application Advantages

• Reduces sample-warming procedures and the risk of label loss in deep-cold environments.
• Helps biobanks and laboratories build a stable, clear long-term traceability system.
