31 Jan 2022 --- Schreiner MediPharm is unveiling the freeze-lock cryo-label, a marking label specifically designed for medicine containers kept at extremely low temperatures. The cryo-label features two interlocking label layers for adhesion to a container – from storage and transportation to administration of the medication to the patient.Schreiner says the technology can be adapted to a wider application range.The freeze-lock system consists of a bottom label and a top label. The bottom label layer with a specialty micro-fine surface texture is applied to the empty, non-refrigerated container at room temperature. Subsequently, the container is filled with the active ingredient and immediately cooled down for storage at sub-zero temperatures of dry ice (-78 °C) or liquid nitrogen (-196 °C). The frozen container is removed from cold storage for marking. The top label layer is dispensed onto it and firmly pressed against the bottom label. Any layers of ice that may form do not have to be removed.
