    Brief

    This procurement seeks bespoke labeled solutions and equipment for two distinct scientific collection types: (1) For DNA and Tissue Collections: Custom-sized and colored labels that resist alcohol exposure and function in -80°C freezer storage environments, with adhesives suitable for these conditions. These labels will support tissue re-curation efforts and help identify samples with usage restrictions such as research embargoes or third-party transfer limitations. (2) For Spirit Collections: A thermal transfer printer system with resin ribbons capable of printing onto specialized labels that withstand chemical splashes and immersion in preservation solutions. Labels for total immersion come on rolls with static attachment (non-adhesive backing), while self-adhesive labels are formulated to bond effectively to glass and plastic surfaces under high-humidity conditions. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in extreme-temperature and chemical-resistant labeling solutions for scientific specimen preservation.
