Product Overview
The MACH4S Laboratory Equipment Label Printer (Item No. BL13679696) belongs to the PTS Print Kit category. Unlike listings for a single device, this page presents the kit as a whole: alongside the printer, the gallery shows a label roll with core caps and a liquid nitrogen ribbon marked -196 °C — together forming a complete combination that prints, adheres and withstands freezing.
The specifications section lists the applications as LN₂ cryogenic storage, biobanks and ultra-low temperature environments (-196 °C), with a packaging quantity of 1 set/box, and notes the matching ribbon as "includes matching cryogenic ribbon." The value of the kit format is that it enables first-time label production validation right out of the box, without having to separately source the printer, face stock and ribbon and then troubleshoot compatibility.
Note: MACH4S in the name is a Brady printer series model. The page does not list specific specifications for this model; the printer shown in the gallery has a compact body. Please confirm the correspondence with the name with customer service before ordering.
Key Features
Kit
Three-part kit, validate out of the box (page gallery)
The gallery shows the printer, labels with core caps and the -196 °C LN₂ ribbon together. Printer, face stock and ribbon are supplied in one package, so sample proofing can be completed on first setup.
Ribbon
Matching -196 °C LN₂ ribbon
The ribbon in the kit is matched to the LN₂ temperature range. Print retention through deep freezing and freeze–thaw cycles depends on both face stock and ribbon; supplying them as a set reduces the risk of barcode fading caused by the wrong ribbon.
Label
Label roll with core caps included
The label roll shown has a core cap structure that helps protect against dust and moisture during storage. Label dimensions and material specifications are not itemized on this page; confirm kit specifications at order.
Bank
Designed for biobank applications
Both the name and the specifications section target biobank identification management. Labels for batch accessioning, aliquoting and transfer are output from the same system, ensuring consistent formatting.

Typical Applications
High-volume accessioning labels for biobanks
During peak accessioning, labels are output by the full roll per batch. IDs, batch numbers and dates are generated uniformly at the labeling station, and the kit's LN₂ ribbon produces labels for deep-frozen specimens.
Label support for LN₂ cryogenic storage (application listed on page)
The page lists LN₂ cryogenic storage and -196 °C as applications. For pre-storage freeze–thaw validation, use the labels and ribbon in the kit and confirm readability before full-scale production.
Laboratory kit purchasing and replenishment
Equipment and consumables are purchased as a kit, and labels and ribbons are replenished in the same combination, avoiding label detachment caused by mixing consumables from different temperature ranges.
Pair with site labels filtered by temperature range
When the kit's labels run out, reorder from our LN₂ labels, self-laminating labels and other categories, filtered by temperature range and container type.
FAQ
Q: What exactly is included in the kit?
A: The page gallery shows a three-part combination of printer + labels with core caps + -196 °C LN₂ ribbon, and the specifications section lists a packaging quantity of 1 set/box. For the specific label dimensions, material and quantity list, please refer to the delivery list confirmed with customer service before ordering.
Q: Is the printer shown the same as the MACH4S?
A: The product name designates the MACH4S, and the printer shown in the gallery has a compact body. The page does not itemize the correspondence between the pictured model and the name. Please confirm the actual delivered model and appearance with customer service before ordering.
Q: Can the printed labels go directly into liquid nitrogen?
A: Whether labels can go into liquid nitrogen depends on the temperature rating match between label material and ribbon. The ribbon in this kit is marked -196 °C; we recommend completing one freeze–thaw validation with actual containers before batch use, and filtering labels by temperature rating when reordering.
Q: How does this relate to the entries in the LAB printer category?
A: This item belongs to the PTS Print Kit category and is delivered as a kit. The LAB printer category on the same site covers standalone units. Before ordering, confirm the delivery contents as "kit or standalone unit."
Selection & Usage Guide
1
Confirm the delivery list first
Before ordering, confirm item by item with customer service the model, label specifications and ribbon model in the kit, and put them in a written list to check against on receipt.
2
Work back from storage temperature range to the validation plan
Design the freeze–thaw validation process based on the actual specimen storage temperature range (LN₂, ULT freezer, refrigerated), and proceed to batch label production only after validation passes.
3
Register the fixed kit combination
Register the validated "printer + label + ribbon" combination as the laboratory standard configuration. Reorder in the same combination, and run a small-batch proof for records on arrival.
Consumable Matching Recommendations
- LN₂ ribbon: matching the ribbon to the same grade as the face stock is a prerequisite for freeze–thaw resistance of printed content; keep the same ribbon model when reordering.
- Label rolls with core caps: the core cap structure helps protect against dust during storage; laboratories with slow inventory turnover may prefer core-cap specifications.
- Reorder by temperature range: our labels can be filtered by temperature range such as LN₂, -80 °C and -40 °C, consistent with the kit's ribbon rating.
- Size coverage: from micro dot labels to large formats; select by cryovial diameter and information volume.
Note: The specifications section on this page is a generic template for the print kit category and does not list the printer's print resolution, print width, or the specific label specification list in the kit. Please confirm item by item with customer service before ordering and request the specification sheet. The LN₂ cryogenic storage and -196 °C noted on the page are application descriptions; whether labels can enter the corresponding temperature range depends on the temperature rating match between label material and ribbon. The correspondence between the printer appearance in the gallery and the MACH4S name is not confirmed on the page; please refer to the actual delivery.
Page note: The specifications section entry "Printer: M611 / EOS2/3 / MACH4S laboratory label printer" is a generic field for the print kit category, listing the range of compatible models for the kit and not indicating that this product contains multiple devices; packaging quantity is 1 set/box.
