The accurate and reliable labelling of

scientific samples is an integral part

of the success of your laboratory.

Labels carry critical information such

as the description of the contents,

composition, concentrations, pH,

make-up date, lot number, expiry

date, storage conditions, user

information, and without them,

your research could be unreliable

and possibly invalid. Labels are the

foundation of an effective laboratory

bottle management process.

There are many ways that bottles can

be labelled. Our research indicated

that users use a wide range of

labelling materials and formats such

tape, pre-printed, blank labels and / or

autoclave tape, for labelling bottles.

Many labels used in laboratories

can be difficult to remove after use,

resulting in scratched bottles and

extra time wasted cleaning. The

YOUTILITY labels were developed

to address the need for a reliable,

short term method of sample, cap

and bottle tracking and identification.

The labels will stay on when you need

them to do so, and are easy to remove

when no longer required. This allows

the bottles and caps to be quickly

and easily cleaned, ready for re-use.

The YOUTILITY bottles and caps

have dedicated marked label areas.

There are two types of YOUTILITY

labels, one larger rectangular label

that fits all four sizes of bottle, and a

smaller circular label that exactly fits

the YOUTILITY polypropylene screw

cap. The dual labeling of bottles and

caps helps to prevent sample mix-ups.

The cap labels are invaluable for

identifying bottles when stacked in a

fridge or from above if the bottles are

in a water bath.

Both YOUTILITY label formats are

manufactured from a tear resistant,

matt white, polyester material

coated with a high performance

adhesive. The print receptive top

surface will accept a variety of inks,

including copier, printer, ballpoint and

technical markers (pre-test specific

ink for suitability prior to use). The

labels are chemically resistant to

typical laboratory chemicals such as

disinfectants and many solvents.

They have a wide −40 to +150 °C

temperature performance range,

making them suitable for use in fridges,

freezers, autoclaves, incubators and

water baths without the risk of the

labels drying out or falling off.

Laboratory bottles used to sterilise

media often have an identification label

together with a piece of “autoclave

tape”, the appearance is messy, can

be difficult to remove after use.

The YOUTILITY labels conveniently

combine the flexibility of a blank

writable label with an autoclave/steam

sterilisation Class 1 process indicator

(ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2005).

The labels are non-hazardous, and

free of toxic heavy metals.

After use, the YOUTILITY labels may

be easily and completely removed

by peeling. The labels are supplied

in a re-sealable, splash resistant box

containing a roll of 200 label sets.
