[Nhcoll-l] Labels

Thu Mar 26 17:12:48 EDT 2015

I did not want to buy a printing setup, so I ordered pre-printed labels
from Electronic Imaging Materials <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.barcode-2Dlabels.com_&d=AwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=cD2Ssxz7ORlItWkpPzy-uWXS3g3NGim8ZF8MX8Hk8Rc&s=kbgPNlEyBmy9Td07KmqYS2NrIXylklU3gPk4Tohvhrc&e= >. They
sent me a packet of different types of "paper" with various printing
technology and backing glues. I tested them for freezing (-80), alcohol
(100% EtOH), and both on glass slides, glass and plastic vials, wooden
collection cases. Some failed (lost their printing or failed to remain
stuck on the surface). I went with their "626075025 XyResist® Labels,
Chemical-Resistant Adhesive, Printed Black 600 dpi" it they seem to be
working great (time will tell). Try searching for "Cryo labels" - I imagine
lots of companies can provide these services. BUT DEFINITELY TEST BEFORE
BUYING.
