Abstract
A magnetically recordable label embedded within a plastic object such as a microtiter plate. The label comprises a magnetic recording medium such as a recording wire, and is concealed within the object or within a sealed enclosure attached to the object. The label can be written to or read from by a recording head passing adjacent to the label. Because the label is completely enclosed, it is shielded from degrading effects that may be present in the environment.
