Product Overview

Lab167-509 is a wrap-around laboratory label made with vinyl face stock, for use from -196 °C LN₂ to 100 °C hot water. Nominal size 40 × 25 mm; full-roll caption "T509 matte/translucent/thermal-transfer/Vinyl"; packaging 500–1000 labels/roll. The official material guide positions T509 as "durable vinyl labels, suitable for wrapping, good conformability, overlap required for LN₂ environments," with temperature coverage across three levels: LN₂ -196 °C, freezer -80 °C, and hot water 100 °C. Under item No. Lab167, this product's role is color-coded classification: full-roll multi-color feed (rolls shown in purple, orange, red, yellow, green, blue, etc.), using color to distinguish experimental groups, project batches, or container categories; after wrapping, the 25 mm width fits one line of ID plus one line of short code. Printing is matched with BRL-80-BK / BRL-110-BK cryogenic laboratory ribbons, compatible with M611, EOS2/3, and MACH4S laboratory label printers.

Key Features

缠
Wrap-around conformability
Soft, conformable vinyl film; 40 mm length still leaves overlap margin after one full wrap around a narrow tube; official guidance: overlap required for LN₂ environments — the larger the wrapped contact area, the stronger the low-temperature hold.
彩
Multi-color roll classification
Supplied by color per full roll; color defines category, code defines individual: one color per group, one color per zone — sort by color from outside the LN₂ tank without reading each tube.
耐
Three-level temperature coverage
Official table checks three levels: LN₂ -196 °C, freezer -80 °C, hot water 100 °C — one label follows through from ultra-low temperature storage to hot-water rewarming and rinsing.
久
Durable vinyl film
Thermal-transfer imaging adheres to the vinyl film; matte background is non-reflective, translucent material looks light on tube walls, and edges resist lifting during long-term low-temperature storage.

The product category name is listed as "T509 - matte self-laminating"; in the official material guide, T509 is a vinyl wrap-around label, and the self-laminating structure is a T459 material feature. This page follows the official table's vinyl specification; the category name is pending site-wide revision. The product name includes "cryovial"; the official table checks only "general purpose" under T509 application, and this page follows the official table.

Typical Applications

Color-coded classification management
Assign colors by experimental group or project batch: purple rolls for the control group, red rolls for the experimental group; sort by color during retrieval, so multiple sample groups in a cryobox run in parallel without confusion.
Narrow-tube wrap-around labeling
40 mm wraps once around a narrow tube body; 25 mm width fits one line of ID plus one line of short code; vinyl film conforms to the tube's curved surface without corner lifting at low temperatures.
Full-chain low-temperature tracking label
Print and apply at the ambient-temperature preparation stage, follow the tube into a -80 °C freezer or LN₂ tank, then rewarm in 100 °C hot water after retrieval — one label covers the entire storage and rewarming chain.

FAQ

Q: How do I apply it securely for LN₂?
A: The official material guide states clearly: T509 requires overlap for LN₂ environments. When wrapping, overlap the label's ends and press them together; the adhesive on the overlap section bonds to itself to resist deep-low-temperature contraction. A single flat layer is prone to lifting and edge peeling at -196 °C.
Q: How is it different from T459 self-laminating labels?
A: T459 is an ultra-thin polyester self-laminating structure; the laminate layer covers the printed content and leaves a clear window for observing liquid levels. This T509 is a vinyl wrap-around label with no laminate layer; its strengths are wrap-around conformability and multi-color classification. The two have different positioning.
Q: Can it withstand 121 °C autoclaving?
A: The official table does not check the 121 °C autoclave level for T509; it checks only up to 100 °C hot water. Complete the sterilization process before labeling, or switch to T429 / T459 / T629 materials, which are checked for 121 °C in the official table.
Q: What ribbon and printer are needed for printing?
A: Match with BRL-80-BK or BRL-110-BK cryogenic laboratory ribbons; compatible with M611, EOS2/3, and MACH4S laboratory label printers. Black printing on colored rolls provides clear contrast; a test print is recommended before finalizing.

Selection & Usage Guide

  • Need laminate protection for printed content or liquid-level observation: switch to T459 ultra-thin polyester self-laminating.
  • Need a 121 °C autoclave workflow: switch to T429 matte white PET (passes all four levels) or T629 nylon cloth all-scenario version.
  • After wrapping, ensure a full-circle conformable fit with proper end overlap; wipe the tube body clean before labeling; low-temperature performance is subject to actual sample testing.
  • For color-coded classification, define the color code table before bulk ordering; same batch and same color avoids cross-batch color variation interfering with sorting.

Usage Notes

Note: The official table does not check the 121 °C autoclave level for T509; do not put labeled containers into an autoclave cycle. LN₂ -196 °C environments require wrap-around overlap. The product category name "matte self-laminating" is inconsistent with the official table's vinyl specification; please confirm the latest material specification with customer service before bulk ordering.
