The reliable identification of micro-organisms, serum, biological components and lab samples in ultra-low temperature freezer environments is vital to ensuring accurate medical research and efficient laboratory processing. Only select labels can withstand ultra-low freezer environments. If the label becomes unreadable or missing, it can impact the success of a clinical trial, or lead to specimen and sample wastage and the need to re-collect and test samples — potentially delaying patient diagnosis and treatment. Zebra’s 8000T UltraCool is a thermal transfer material that requires the use of a ribbon to create a more durable image. It features a specialty low-temperature adhesive for -80°C storage, ensuring critical assets remain identifiable until used, tested, or disposed of.
Reliable readability
When the label is printed with our 5095 high performance resin ribbon and applied to containers that are stored in an ultra-low temperature freezer, the print will remain legible, ensuring visibility of the specimen identity over extended periods of time and for repeated inspections.
Print Confident, Print Quality with Zebra Certified Supplies
Printing supplies can impact everything from printhead lifespan to operational efficiency. That’s why we design, produce and rigorously pre-test our own line of thermal printing supplies to ensure consistent, optimized performance. We utilize an ISO 9001 certified, 23-point quality inspection to ensure consistent quality. No matter when you order your labels, you can count on the same great performance.
Designed to maintain adhesion
The 8000T UltraCool label has been designed to maintain adhesion even when exposed to temperatures down to -80°C, so that the labeled items that require ultra-low temperature storage remain identifiable to staff. It is vital that labels remain in place to avoid costly duplication of specimen and sample processing and potential errors.
