Colour Coded Plastic Tabs Simplifying Cryogenic Sample Identification
Managing cryogenic samples can be challenging, especially when relying on handwritten notes or adhesive labels that may fade over time. Colour-coded plastic tabs provide a simple, durable solution for organising samples stored in cryocanes and visotubes.
These tabs fit securely on the tops of cryocanes and visotubes, offering instant visual identification without the need to remove containers or search through multiple canisters. By assigning colours to different sample types, projects, storage dates, or priority levels, laboratories can create a clear, consistent labelling system. For example, blue might indicate blood samples, green for tissue, and red for urgent or time-sensitive materials.
For optimal workflow, these colour-coded tabs pair perfectly with CBS Round Visotubes and cryocanes, creating a fully compatible storage system. Together, they help labs keep samples organised, accessible, and secure, reducing errors and saving valuable time.
