My go to labelling, one or two letters to note the sample, dilution as -x subscript, */**/*** at the bottom to denote rep(s), plus color coding if needed.

I used to label the wall of the bottom of the freezer box with a smiley face as I always hated 'freezer fishing'....

For miniprep columns i usually label them with roman numbers on the rim

I like to color code control probes and switch colors for each day of sampling as well. I once bought a date inkstamp with ink for non porous surfaces and it works well for Petri dishes. Does save a couple minutes a day.

@@thebumblingbiochemist StāzOn (stays on) is the most popular one. It should be around 8 dollars for one pad. I had trouble finding any generic ones so I did go for that one, but apparently 790 and 794 are ink types that do work on plastic.
