Effective Sample Identification: The Essential Guide to Specialized Labels for Extreme Conditions

Efficient labeling and meticulous inventory management are critical safeguards for your research's integrity

Written byBrady

The laboratory can be a demanding environment. Proper labeling and inventory management are not just administrative chores but help prevent costly errors, ensure accurate sample identification, and enhance your laboratory’s efficiency. 

This is particularly important when researchers are conducting experiments in extreme conditions including cryogenics, histology staining processes, and chemical abrasion. In these conditions, standard laboratory labels can easily detach, smudge, smear, or fade. This leads to a significant risk of inaccurate sample identification alongside subsequent errors and delays in experimental results and research, respectively. 

Brady’s specialized labels, made from materials such as polyester and polypropylene are engineered for this very purpose, and can withstand harsh conditions like extreme temperatures, cold storage, chemical exposure, and autoclaving. Developed for use on surfaces like glass, stainless steel, and plastic, these labels are essential for maintaining accurate and durable labeling in demanding lab settings.
