FluidX 0.5ml tri-coded tubes offer unequaled sample audit traceability, enabling sample tracking and data sharing between multiple users, labs, locations and automation capabilities

• Next Generation manufacturing techniques
• Code readable without removing tubes from racks
• Suitable for cryogenic storage
• Made from high-quality virgin PP
• Available in 96-well format SBS racks or bulk
• Sealable with screw caps/TPE septum caps

Designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind, the tubes perform without compromise in conjunction with automated barcode reading, capping and sample management systems from Azenta Life Sciences and all other industry-recognized manufacturers.

Provides a lifelong and secure chain of custody for samples in biobanks, compound libraries and a broad range of biological and chemical stores, including cryogenic storage. Developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high density storage applications.

Each tube features a permanent 2D code laser etched in high contrast on the tube base, a permanent 1D linear barcode and human-readable number laser etched in high-contrast on the tube side. All three codes are identical and auditing processes guarantee all three codes match; standard 2D coding option is black on white.

4titude peelable heat sealing film, optically clear; suitable for qPCR and optical applications

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. Our Clear Heat Seal is an optically clear laminate film forming a peelable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates. Samples can also be accessed by pre-piercing with a blade, needle or our Pierce Plate (4ti-0398).

The optical clarity of this seal enables its use for sealing plates required for imaging use, including fluorescent detection methods such as qPCR and colorimetric assays. The Clear Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling both low temperature uses, including low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid). This seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature.

This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer. Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Automated Roll Heat Sealer.

Our sheet seals are inter-leaved with paper sheets to help denote which side is the sealing side and aid removal of one sheet at a time from the pack. For applications requiring high tensile strength (e.g. bead mill applications) please see ourClear Heat Seal Plus.

Key Features:

• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -80°C to 80°C (to 110°C with a pressurized heated PCR lid)
• Optically clear
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Applications: imaging, fluorescent detection, and colorimetric assays
• Suitable for PCR and qPCR
• Seals polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates
• Sheet format: 125 x 78mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates, from 12 well to 1536 well
• Roll format: available in a variety of roll dimensions, to suit your choice of automatic heat sealing equipment
• Non-sterile as standard; sterilization available upon request

4titude low profile, 0.1ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame with upstand, cut corner A1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl; designed for use on ABI^® Fast Block cyclers. This semi-skirted low profile plate is recommended for use with ABI^® Fast block

4titude low profile, 0.1ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame with upstand, cut corner A1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl; designed for use on ABI^® Fast Block cyclers. This semi-skirted low profile plate is recommended for use with ABI^® Fast block thermal cyclers. The low profile wells of this plate are shorter than "standard" profile wells, which decrease the "dead space" between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample in the well. This eliminates condensation forming on the side wall of the tubes, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. This is especially recommended for reaction volumes below 20μl. The rigid polycarbonate skirt of this design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR, and makes it ideal for use with robotic systems. Its skirt also allows for labeling or barcoding.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Stackable
• Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
• <0.1ml (100μl) working volume, 0.2ml (200μl) total well capacity
• Rigid polycarbonate frame for added mechanical stability
• Significantly reduced thermal expansion and sample evaporation for improved consistency in PCR results
• Improved seal integrity due to thermal stability of frame
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Compatible with ABI^® Fast block thermal cyclers
• Recommended for low volume PCR
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Standard plate comes with clear polypropylene wells with a clear polypropylene frame
• Also available with white wells for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when using fluorescent based assays
• Also available as a clear frame with frosted wells for use with ABI^®/LifeTechnologies^® qPCR instruments
• Combi packs available (for 4ti-0910/C) with Optically Clear Windowed qPCR Seal (4ti-0565)
