Tough Spots- Reliable labels for tough conditions

ABDOS Tough Spots provide durable, long-lasting labeling for microcentrifuge tubes, with strong adhesion and readability even through cryogenic freezing, autoclaving, and chemical exposure.

Key Benefits

  • Chemically inert and resistant to most organic solvents, caustic agents, and humidity.
  • Strong, flexible adhesive expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations to prevent peeling or cracking.
  • Compatible with most plastics (including 100% virgin polypropylene), glass, and metal surfaces.
  • Accepts writing from standard laboratory markers.

Withstands extreme temperature range from –196°C (liquid nitrogen) to 100°C (boiling water).

Engineered for Extreme Durability

Tough Spots are specially designed for laboratories that require reliable labeling through temperature extremes — from cryogenic storage in liquid nitrogen to boiling water baths and autoclave sterilization.

Superior Chemical and Water Resistance

These labels withstand submersion, humidity, and exposure to harsh solvents and caustic solutions without degrading, peeling, or losing adhesion.

Flexible Material Construction

Made from high-quality polyolefin label material with an acrylic adhesive, Tough Spots maintain a strong bond even during thermal expansion or contraction.

Versatile Application

Perfect for labeling small-format microcentrifuge tubes, cryovials, and other containers used in molecular biology, clinical, and research laboratories.

User-Friendly Design

Each label can be written on with standard lab markers for easy sample identification and organization.
