Careful consideration must be given when choosing the right CryoSTUCK® label for your cryogenic storage tubes.
There are 2 main criteria that must be addressed:
- Firstly, the CryoSTUCK label must be chosen so as to create an area of overlap when the label is wrapped onto the frozen tube of at least 0.25”. This ensures the best possible adhesion when the label is applied onto frozen vials.
- Secondly, a label must be chosen so that the printable portion (the portion of the label which excludes the clear wrap-around portion) is small enough as to not overlap with the rest of the label when applied onto the tube.
Luckily at LABTAG, we have eliminated the guesswork involved in choosing your CryoSTUCK® label by offering this handy sizing guide below. Additionally, we also offer Blackout CryoSTUCK® labels for when per-existing information needs to be concealed.
