Improve Lab Accuracy with Cryogenic and Xylene-Resistant Labels

In clinical and research labs, every detail matters—especially when it comes to labeling. Whether you’re storing tissue samples in liquid nitrogen or processing specimens through xylene-based staining protocols, the wrong label can compromise your data, contaminate your workflow, or even put patient safety at risk.

That’s why cryogenic and xylene-resistant labels aren’t just optional—they’re essential. These specialty labels are designed to remain readable, adhesive, and intact in the harshest environments, supporting accurate specimen tracking and long-term data integrity.

Why Lab Labels Fail — and What It Costs You

Standard paper or basic thermal labels often can’t handle the extreme demands of laboratory work. In cryogenic conditions, adhesives may fail, labels may crack or peel, and ink can fade. During xylene processing, labels that aren’t chemically resistant may dissolve, smear, or detach completely.

When that happens, your samples become untraceable. Worse, results can be misattributed, leading to delays, repeated work, or compromised patient care. In high-volume hospital and retail pharmacy labs, even one labeling error can create a cascade of downstream problems.

Specialized Labels Designed for Extreme Lab Environments

At Nev’s Ink, we offer lab labeling solutions specifically engineered to withstand:

  • Cryogenic storage (as low as -196°C in liquid nitrogen or vapor phase)
  • Xylene and chemical exposure during histology and pathology processing
  • High humidity, refrigeration, and freeze/thaw cycles
  • Autoclave sterilization or alcohol wipe-downs

These cryogenic and xylene-resistant labels maintain their adhesive strength and legibility no matter what conditions your samples go through.
