Introduced Cryo-Label “Freeze-Lock” for Frozen Medications – Schreiner MediPharm
It has to be processed, stored, and transported under extreme sub-zero temperatures to provide the efficacy of medications for cell and gene therapies. Schreiner MediPharm has created a label that permanently withstands these freezing temperatures: the cryo label “Freeze-Lock” for labeling on deep-frozen medicine containers. The two interlocking label layers provide reliable adhesive strength and readability of the product details.
Freeze-Lock label
Freeze-Lock label by Schreiner MediPharm has a bottom label and a top label. First, the bottom label layer with a micro-fine surface texture attribute is applied to the empty, non-refrigerated container at room temperature. After that, the bottle is filled with the active ingredient and instantly cooled down for the warehouse at sub-zero temperatures of dry ice (-78 °C) or liquid nitrogen (-196 °C).
To keep the frozen container, it is drawn from cold storage. The top label layer is issued onto it and correctly pressed against the bottom label—a likely layer of ice does not have to be removed. The top label’s deep freeze adhesive incorporates the bottom label’s surface and freezes in seconds.
This outcome has a permanent bond between the label structure and the container that can be replaced for storage and transported in frozen condition.
Due to the two-component label design features and the materials and adhesives used, the Freeze-Lock cryo label reliably sticks to the frozen container; important product details cannot be lost.
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufactories and users in clinical research thus help from a tailored and efficient marking solution for frozen drugs that can be adapted to a broad range of applications.
