Standard office labels detach from cold plastic within minutes of contact with a -80°C freezer — leaving frozen samples anonymous and biobank integrity at risk. DiversifiedBiotech HEACRTH-2100 TT Cryo-Tags are engineered for permanent identification through the full temperature range of cryogenic research: liquid nitrogen immersion at -196°C, vapor-phase LN2 storage, -80°C ultrafreezers, and dry heat up to 80°C. Thermal transfer printable for durable barcode output. Solvent-resistant adhesive bonds to polypropylene vials, glass, and metal racks. 1.375 × 0.625 in — sized for 2.0 mL cryogenic tubes. 2,000 labels per roll. Made in USA.
Features & Benefits
- Thermal Transfer Printable: Formatted for standard thermal transfer label printers — compatible with Zebra, Datamax, and most laboratory barcode printers using thermal transfer ribbon. Produces durable, solvent-resistant printed text and barcodes that remain legible through cryogenic storage.
- -196°C to 80°C Temperature Range: Withstands liquid nitrogen immersion, vapor-phase LN2 storage, conventional -80°C freezers, -20°C freezers, and dry heat up to 80°C. Handles liquid nitrogen flash/snap freezing without adhesive failure, label cracking, or print degradation.
- Solvent-Resistant Adhesive: Chemically inert adhesive resists common laboratory solvents, alcohols, and reagents — labels stay on through routine lab handling, thaw cycles, and decontamination procedures.
- Sized for 2.0 mL Tubes/Vials: 1.375 × 0.625 in label dimensions are optimized for the curved surface of 2.0 mL cryogenic vials and microtubes — the most common cryogenic storage container size in biobanking, genomics, and cell storage workflows.
- 2,000 Labels per Roll: High-count roll format for high-throughput labeling operations and biobanking facilities.
- Adheres to Multiple Substrates: Sticks to polypropylene cryovials, glass vials, microtubes, beakers, and metal racks — reliable across the full range of cryogenic sample containers used in biorepositories.
- Made in USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thermal transfer (TT) vs. laser Cryo-Tags — which is right for my workflow?
Thermal transfer ribbon printing (HEACRTH-2100) fuses resin ink into the label face, producing barcodes that are chemically insoluble and smear-proof — the preferred format for long-term biobank barcoding and LIMS integration. Laser-printed labels (e.g., HEALCRY-1400) print on office laser printers but rely on toner adhesion that degrades with solvent exposure. If your workflow involves solvent-based reagents or prolonged storage in shared freezers, thermal transfer is the more durable choice.
