Description
Laboratory Label, 10% Formalin, 7/8" x 2-1/4", Fluorescent Pink
This fluorescent pink laboratory label is designed to clearly identify specimens and containers associated with 10% formalin, supporting consistent communication and safer handling in clinical and research environments. With a compact 7/8" x 2-1/4" format, it fits many commonly used specimen containers, cassettes packaging, and lab storage surfaces where space is limited but visibility is essential. The high-contrast color helps the label stand out among standard identifiers, making it easier for staff to quickly recognize formalin-related materials during collection, transport, accessioning, processing, and storage.
Because labeling practices vary by facility, this label is intended to complement established protocols for specimen identification, chemical awareness, and chain-of-custody procedures. It can be used as an attention label alongside primary patient and specimen identifiers, or as part of a broader color-coding program for fixatives and hazardous reagents. The wording “10% Formalin” provides immediate recognition for personnel who may encounter the container at different points in the workflow, including couriers, receiving staff, histology, and waste management teams.
Key Features
- Clear identification: “10% Formalin” text supports fast recognition and reduces the chance of mix-ups between fixatives and other reagents.
- Fluorescent pink visibility: Bright coloration improves noticeability on busy benches, in transport bags, and in storage racks.
- Space-efficient size: 7/8" x 2-1/4" footprint suits smaller containers while still providing readable labeling.
- Workflow support: Helps reinforce compliance with internal handling procedures for formalin-fixed specimens and related materials.
- Versatile placement: Useful on containers, secondary packaging, or documentation areas where quick visual cues are beneficial.
Common Applications
- Marking specimen containers holding tissue placed in 10% formalin
- Identifying secondary bags, bins, or transport trays for formalin-fixed samples
- Supporting accessioning and triage in surgical pathology receiving areas
- Enhancing visibility in multi-step lab workflows, including histology preparation
- Color-coding programs for chemical awareness and standardized handling cues
Operational Considerations
Apply the label to a clean, dry surface for best adhesion. Place it where it remains visible without covering essential patient identifiers, barcodes, or fill lines. Follow your facility’s policies for specimen labeling, chemical hygiene, and transport requirements. This product is a labeling aid and does not replace required patient identification labels, regulatory markings, or safety documentation mandated by your organization.
