Need a label to resist autoclave and sterilisation?

In the world of medical research, surgery and medical device production, labels must endure the rigorous conditions of autoclaves and sterilisation processes.

Whether identifying if an item has been autoclaved, or maintaining compliance with health and safety standards, our durable labels resist high-pressure steam and heat, as well as the disintegration or fading of critical information.

Where does this happen often?

Animal Health Laboratories

Ensuring traceability and integrity of veterinary samples with labels that withstand conditions from field collection sites to sterile laboratory settings.

Biotech Research Laboratories

Our labels support rigorous research protocols, ensuring accurate identification and tracking of experimental samples across all stages of research and development.

Forensic Laboratories

Our tamper-evident labels provide secure identification for evidence handling in police work, aircraft reconstruction and fire investigation.

Hospital Clinics and Medical Laboratories

Used by numerous NHS trusts in the UK, VA Medical Centers in the US and Universitätsklinikum in Germany, our labels endure rigorous sterilisation and cryogenic storage.

Museums

We supply labels to renowned institutions like The Natural History Museum in London. Our labels ensure the longevity and traceability of specimens, which may be archived for centuries.

Pharmaceutical R&D

Our labels are instrumental in the organisation and tracking of clinical trials, including the critical work done in the accelerated research of RNA-based vaccines such as those for COVID-19.

Secure your data in any condition

Autoclave and sterilisation-resistant labels are typically affixed to a variety of containers and equipment – from cryo vials and microtubes in storage at sub-zero temperatures to vessels and racks exposed to high-heat sterilisation processes.

Our durable labels not only withstand the physical conditions of an autoclave but also remain legible, so vital information such as sample origin, date of collection, and storage instructions are always accessible.
