Overview

IDTS-MFL5530 is a 55 × 30 mm UHF RFID flag label (flag tag) with a UCODE 9 chip, for test tubes, vials and other small medical items. It costs ₹8 + GST per label, the minimum order is 1,000 pcs, and once applied it is rated from −20 to +50 °C.

What an RFID flag label does on a tube or vial

A flat UHF label wrapped round a tube or vial puts its whole antenna against the container. On this label only the lower 24 mm is adhesive, and that tail wraps the tube. The upper 31 mm, which carries the chip and the antenna's meander, is not stuck down and stands off the container like a flag; the rest of the antenna lies in the adhesive tail. Each tube carries its own writable EPC number for RFID sample tracking.

How to apply it

Apply the labels at 10–40 °C to a clean, dry tube, wrap the adhesive tail round the container and leave the flag free. Keep the rolls dry, and don't bend, crush or fold the chip area. Adhesion varies by surface, so try samples on your own tubes first.

Temperature limits

Once applied, the label is rated from −20 to +50 °C at 20–80 % relative humidity. It is not rated below −20 °C, so it is not for −80 °C freezers or liquid nitrogen, or for any process that heats it above 50 °C.

For a flat label that wraps round a tube, see the 15 × 40 mm test tube tag; for a flag label with an M800 or M700 chip, see the ID-2040-M800, or browse all specialty RFID labels.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write my own sample IDs to the labels?
The 96-bit EPC is writable, so you can encode your own sample or tube IDs with a UHF desktop reader at the bench and read them later with a UHF handheld reader. The 48-bit unique serial in the TID is read-only, so it stays fixed whatever EPC you write.
What read range can I expect?
We don't publish a read range for this label, because it depends on the reader, the antenna, and the tube and its contents. Request samples and test them on your own tubes and reader.
Can I use it in a −80 °C freezer?
No. Once applied, the label is rated from −20 to +50 °C at 20–80 % RH, so it is not for −80 °C storage or liquid nitrogen, or for any process that heats it above 50 °C.
Will it work with UHF readers in India?
Yes. The UCODE 9 chip covers 860–960 MHz, which includes India's 865–868 MHz band, and follows EPC Gen2, so it works with EPC Gen2 UHF readers set to the Indian band. Read distance depends on the reader, antenna and tube, so test samples on your own setup.
How are the labels supplied, and what is the minimum order?
On rolls of 1,000 labels with a 3-inch core, vacuum-packed in ESD bags, usually eight rolls to a carton. The minimum order is 1,000 pcs and the price is ₹8 + GST per label.
