Cryogenic

Collecting samples in the field isn’t always easy. From dusty barns to pastures or field tents, labels are exposed to dust, moisture, and temperature swings. And when a label fails, so does the sample. Every animal health test starts with reliable identification. Here are some practical tips to help you protect accuracy in the field.

In the pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare industries, where precise temperature control is critical for vaccines, biologics, and personalized medicine, cold chain labeling ensures product integrity and regulatory compliance. These sensitive materials must be accurately tracked and properly labeled throughout their journey to ensure they remain viable and effective. Cold chain environments introduce extreme conditions that […]

Labeling frozen tubes is a frustrating but necessary task in many labs. Whether you’re receiving cryogenic samples from a biobank, merging collections, or replacing a failed label, sometimes you have no choice but to apply a new label to an already frozen tube. The problem? Frost and moisture prevent adhesion, and most cryo labels—while designed […]

Cryogenic labels play a critical role in laboratories, biobanks, and pharmaceutical storage, where samples must remain securely identified at ultra-low temperatures. Standard labels fail in extreme cold, leading to adhesive failure, barcode degradation, and lost samples, making specialized cryogenic labeling solutions essential. A well-engineered cryogenic label must withstand liquid nitrogen (-196°C), deep freezers (-80°C), dry […]

Cryogenic labeling is essential for tracking and identifying frozen samples in biobanks, research labs, and pharmaceutical storage, but not all labels perform reliably in extreme cold. Many labs experience labels peeling off, curling, fading, or even becoming brittle and cracking—problems that can lead to lost samples, scanning errors, and costly relabeling efforts. Even cryogenic-rated labels […]

At Computype, we understand the challenges of labeling for cryogenic storage conditions. When a longtime customer — a global biotechnology company based in Boston — came to us with freezer rack labeling failures, we knew we could help. Their research depends on accurate sample management, especially in cryogenic storage, where long-term sample integrity is critical. […]

If your lab is utilizing cryogenic storage to preserve biological samples you might find that a reliable labeling solution can take some time and effort to find. Even when applied properly, many labels aren’t able to withstand the harsh conditions of the cryogenic storage environment. Even those that are engineered to stand up to extreme […]

Cryogenic and freezer storage for high-value lab samples can pose a challenge. Samples that need to be stored in extreme cold need to be properly and carefully labeled in order to maintain the integrity of the sample, but getting labels to stick in those conditions can be tricky. Both your tubes and cryo or freezer […]

Cryogenic storage labels are an everyday necessity for sample management across the healthcare industry, as many samples require cryogenic storage, which are extremely cold temperatures and harsh chemical exposure. Typical paper labels may come to mind when you consider price. Still, those are not well suited for cryogenic applications, which require specialized materials and adhesives […]
