Cryogen tube label NitroTAG®

cryogenicRFID

Combining RFID technology and our thermal-transfer printable cryogenic labels into one product, our cryo RFID labels are the first cryogenic RFID labels that can be used in liquid nitrogen. They can be printed and encoded using dedicated RFID thermal-transfer printers. Their flexible, passive UHF RFID chip (Class 1, Gen 2) can be encoded with up to 32 hexadecimal characters of information to record data during sample processing. The resulting label can thus contain both visual and electronic data for maximum sample tracking flexibility. Specifically designed for short and long-term storage under ultra-low temperatures and cryogenic environments, they have a strong permanent adhesive to ensure they will stay affixed on cryo tubes & vials, cardboard and polypropylene cryo/freezer boxes, plastic bags, and triangular cassettes for straw storage. They can be scanned/read without the need for direct line-of-sight, even when in liquid nitrogen or immersed up to 1.5”/38mm in a 37°C water bath. This can help eliminate unwanted freeze-thaw cycles, thus preserving the samples’ integrity.
