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.

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.
