Product descriptionOur B-494 polyester label provides reliable sample identification and traceability for laboratory and medical applications. The colour code is printed subsurface to prevent fading, smearing or smudging; labels remain attached and legible after exposure to common lab chemicals or storage in liquid nitrogen.
Benefits- Subsurface colour print resists extreme lab conditions including liquid nitrogen and hot water baths
- When printed with R6400 ribbon series (e.g. M61-R6410, M7-R6400) prints resist common lab solvents such as ethanol and xylene
- Suitable for cryogenic and low-temperature workflows; retains adhesion and legibility at -196 °C
- Requires a thermal transfer ribbon to print (recommended: M61-R6410)
Key Features- Printer compatibility: BMP61, BMP71 (with media adapter), M610, M611, M710 (with media adapter)
