[Nhcoll-l] Barcodes suitable for long-term liquid nitrogen storage

[Measday, Dani]

Hi all,

We are planning to relocate our tissue and DNA collection from -80o C freezers to a new liquid nitrogen facility -196o C. Currently our DNA tubes are barcoded with Labxpert PCR tube Labels B- 461, which I believe are guaranteed for up to 2 years at -196o C.
Does anyone have experience with the long-term performance of these labels in liquid nitrogen storage? Suggestions or advice for other manufacturers would also be welcome.

Cheers,
Dani
