Cryo Label – Laboratory Sample Tubes



Laboratory sample tubes stored in cryogenic or deep-freeze conditions experience extreme temperature stress, surface contraction, and ice formation. Standard labels become brittle, crack, or detach once frozen, leading to lost sample identity and compromised research or diagnostic workflows. Anaika offers cryo label solutions engineered specifically for laboratory sample tubes, using cold-resistant films and low-temperature adhesives that remain bonded and readable during freezing, thawing, and long-term cryogenic storage.
Key Features
-
Cryogenic-grade film designed to remain flexible at sub-zero temperatures.
