When storing hundreds of microcentrifuge tubes in densely packed freezer boxes, top-down visual identification is critical for efficient sample retrieval. The Globe Scientific LCS-D95G Cryo Dot Labels are specifically engineered for the caps of standard 0.5mL to 1.5mL tubes. At 9.5mm in diameter, these green dots perfectly contour to the circular space of the tube cap, allowing technicians to apply clear, permanent identification to the most visible part of the vessel when sitting in a rack.
Formulated with an ultra-strong cryogenic adhesive, these labels survive the harshest laboratory environments, including liquid nitrogen immersion (-196°C) and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, without flaking or popping off. The green color-coding facilitates instant visual differentiation of sample groups, while the synthetic top-coating ensures that barcodes or text printed via desktop laser printers remains crisp, legible, and highly resistant to moisture and smudging. A single box yields an impressive 3,840 individual dots to support major inventory projects.
Features and Benefits
9.5mm Dot Format: Precision-cut circles fit perfectly onto the flat or slightly domed caps of 0.5mL and 1.5mL tubes without overhanging the edge.
Extreme Cryo Adhesion: Maintains a permanent bond during ultra-low temperature storage (-196°C) and resists popping off during extreme temperature fluctuations.
Top-Down Visibility: Labeling the cap allows for rapid identification of samples within grid boxes without the need to individually pull out each tube to read its side.
Green Color Coding: Quickly segregate specific assays, buffer types, or patient cohorts visually.
Massive Yield: Each sheet contains 192 dots. A single 20-sheet box provides 3,840 labels, offering unmatched economy for high-throughput genomics or proteomics labs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these labels fit on 2.0mL tubes?
While they are optimized for the smaller caps of 0.5mL and 1.5mL tubes, they will physically adhere to 2.0mL tube caps as well, though they will cover less of the surface area.
Are they difficult to align in the printer?
Because dots are small, proper printer alignment is crucial. We highly recommend using the manufacturer-provided templates and running a test print on standard paper before loading the synthetic label sheets.
Can I write on the dots?
Yes. The matte finish easily accepts a fine-tip permanent marker if you prefer handwritten initials over laser printing.
