Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes a lab marker different from a standard marker?
Laboratory markers, like the Securline range, are often designed to be more resistant to laboratory chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures compared to standard office markers.
2. Can Edding 3000 markers write on wet surfaces?
While Edding 3000 markers are highly versatile, for the best results on wet or frosted surfaces, specialized cryo-markers or technical paint markers like the Edding 751 are often preferred.
3. Are there refillable options for laboratory markers?
Yes, certain models like the Edding 400 are refillable and rechargeable, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for high-volume laboratory labeling.
4. Which marker tip size is best for labeling small microtubes?
For small surfaces, a fine-tip marker like the 0.75 mm Edding 751 or the 1.0 mm Securline marker is ideal for ensuring text remains legible on limited surface areas.
