Lab208-509 · 25.4 × 63.5 mm wrap-around microtube label (vinyl)
63.5 mm circumferential strip wraps once around a microtube with ample overlap margin; 25.4 mm width fits two lines of information; for wrap-around overlap use in LN₂ at -196 °C, with clear imaging on white background.

Product Overview
Lab208-509 is a wrap-around laboratory label using vinyl face stock, for use from -196 °C LN₂ to 100 °C hot water, with a nominal size of 25.4 × 63.5 mm (imperial 1″ × 2.5″), full-roll caption "T509 matte/translucent/thermal-transfer/Vinyl", and packaging of 500-1000 labels/roll. It is the microtube wrap-around version under Item No. Lab208: the 63.5 mm circumferential length leaves ample margin to complete head-to-tail overlap after one wrap around a small-diameter tube body—the official material guide explicitly states that T509 "requires overlap when used in LN₂ environments," and this margin is the engineering purpose of this version; the 25.4 mm width accommodates one line of barcode plus one line of ID vertically. The full-roll photo also shows the wrap-around tube labeling illustration: the label wraps circumferentially around the microtube, and the vinyl film conforms to the curved surface. 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
Long
63.5 mm circumferential margin
The surplus length after one wrap is exactly enough to complete the LN₂ overlap, with no need to estimate or trim; the smaller the tube diameter, the greater the margin and the more thorough the overlap bonding.
Slim
Microtube wrap-around positioning
The 25.4 mm width matches small-diameter tube bodies, conforming fully around the circumference after wrapping, with no snagging or edge lifting when transferring from LN₂ canes to cryoboxes.
Clear
White-background thermal-transfer imaging
Matte white background with black text and black barcode delivers full contrast; translucent vinyl looks light against the tube wall, and both scanning and visual reading are easy.
Durable
Low-temperature durable vinyl
The official table checks all three ratings of -196 °C / -80 °C / 100 °C; the vinyl film is flexible and fold-resistant, maintaining conformity through repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

The product page specifications section states "Specifications: see product details," which is inconsistent with the nominal 25.4x63.5mm in the product name. This page follows the nominal size in the name; please confirm the shipping size with customer service before ordering. The product category name "matte self-laminating" is inconsistent with the official T509 vinyl wrap-around specification (self-laminating is a T459 feature). This page follows the official table; the category name is pending site-wide revision.
Typical Applications
Long wrap-around barcode on microtubes
The 63.5 mm circumferential length wraps a long barcode fully around the tube body; aim the scan window at the flat section outside the overlap seam for a single-pass scan without removing the tube for verification.
LN₂ dewar cane grouping
Label entire columns by position within the cane; white background with black barcode offers clear contrast in the dim light of an LN₂ dewar, enabling position-based retrieval by column without searching.
Long-term specimen archiving
For long-term biobank storage, the vinyl film withstands repeated freeze–thaw cycles, keeping information fully legible after multiple rounds of retrieval, archiving, and transfer.
FAQ
Q: How small a tube diameter can still be wrapped?
A: The 25.4 × 63.5 mm circumferential margin suits standard small-diameter tubes: the smaller the tube body, the more surplus after one wrap and the more thorough the overlap bonding; for extremely small tubes or multi-wrap needs, please contact customer service to confirm a suitable specification.
Q: What should be noted before LN₂ immersion?
A: Official statement: T509 requires overlap when used in LN₂ environments. After wrapping, overlap the head and tail and press them together so the adhesive surfaces of the overlap section bond to each other, resisting shrinkage stress at -196 °C deep-low temperature.
Q: Can it be autoclaved together with the container?
A: The official table does not check the 121 °C autoclave rating for T509, only up to 100 °C hot water; please complete sterilization before labeling. For autoclaving with labels attached, switch to materials officially rated for 121 °C, such as T429 / T459 / T629.
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; the long barcode area is ample, and a test print is recommended to confirm scannability before finalizing the layout.
Selection & Usage Guide
- For color-coded sorting: the same family Lab167-509 (40 × 25 mm color version) defines categories by color face, complementing this white-background detail label.
- For lamination protection or liquid-level viewing: switch to the T459 ultra-thin polyester self-laminating version.
- For 121 °C autoclaving or conical tube surfaces: switch to T429 (freezer face with 3 mm head-to-tail overlap) or the T629 nylon cloth all-scenario version.
- Wipe oil, dirt, and moisture from the tube body before labeling, maintain even tension during wrapping, and press the overlap section firmly for the longest low-temperature label life.
Usage Notes
Note: The official table does not check the 121 °C autoclave rating for T509; do not put labeled containers through autoclave cycles. LN₂ -196 °C environments require wrap-around overlap use. The specifications section states "see product details"; please confirm the shipping size and latest material specifications with customer service before bulk ordering.
