NON-ADHESIVE FORMALIN RESISTANT TAG

laboratory labels

These non-adhesive thermal-transfer tags allow permanent and long-term identification of specimens and samples preserved in 10-100% formalin solution and alcohols. Durable and reliable, they are perfect for museum, anatomy and pathology laboratories, and any other facilities involved in preparation, preservation and long-term conservation of biological specimens such as insects, arachnids, molluscs, arthropods, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, herptiles, other vertebrates and invertebrates, tissues, organs, and a lot more.

Resistant to formaldehyde and alcohols, they are intended to be inserted directly into the solution, conjointly with the specimens. Made from chemically inert plastic, they protect identification information without affecting sample integrity.

Supplied in continuous rolls, they are compatible with all major brands of thermal-transfer barcode printers (Sato, Datamax, Zebra, Citizen, etc.). Cutter option must be available on printer in order to cut out tags to desired length. To guarantee resistance of the print to solvents and chemicals, use of our XAR-class ribbons is essential. 

Temperature range from -196 °C to + 100°C.

When printed with our XAR-class ribbons, formalin resistant tags can also withstand direct contact with many other preservatives and solvents such as:

• Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)
• Distilled Ethanol (Industrial Alcohol)
• IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)
• Denatured Alcohol
• Xylene
• Toluene
• DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide)
• MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone)
• ACN (Acrylonitrile)
• Eosin Y
• Hematoxylin
• and more
