Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of using polyester Tough Tags?
Polyester Tough Tags, such as those from Heathrow Scientific, are highly durable and resistant to water, most laboratory chemicals, and extreme temperatures, ensuring labels don't fall off or smudge.
2. Why choose nylon cloth labels over standard paper?
Nylon cloth labels (like Brady B-499) are highly flexible and have a stronger adhesive, making them ideal for wrapping around small-diameter tubes and vials where standard labels might peel.
3. Can I print these labels using a standard office printer?
Specific products, such as the Heathrow Tough-Tags for Laser Printers, are designed for use with standard laser printers, allowing for efficient bulk labeling without specialized equipment.
4. Are these labels resistant to cryogenic storage?
Many professional laboratory labels from Brady and Heathrow Scientific are designed to withstand cryogenic temperatures, but it is important to select specific materials (like B-461 polyester) for long-term liquid nitrogen storage.
