Biotech Labels
A provider of custom-engineered labeling solutions offers a vial label designed to survive extreme temperatures. TLP-937 is a label material that the company engineered for small vials containing DNA that are dropped in liquid nitrogen five seconds after label application. The labels contain vital information that must be transferred to larger containers. Because some labels can lift or flag off when applied to small, curved surfaces, the company designed this label material to be thinner so that it adheres better to the vial. The label’s shape is designed so that the center portion adheres to the vial and the ends of the label stick together to form a tab on the end. This tab is imprinted with the critical information that needs to remain with the DNA when being transferred to the new container. Frosting and condensation can also negatively impact a label’s performance, so this label material was tested in multiple extreme temperatures, from room temperature to –70º, –20º, and 4º F, in liquid nitrogen and dry ice.
