4titude 190μm clear base imaging microplate, black frame. Optically Clear Tissue Culture Plates have been designed for high content screening (HCS) assays in drug development and related areas. They are also suitable for homogeneous assays, employing fluorescence intensity, FRET and TR-FRET where measurements are bottom-read. The high-quality optical base plate assures the necessary accuracy and consistency for automated high throughput systems, generating optimum signal-to-noise ratios. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, we have developed a product which offers several key advantages to the end user.

Optically Clear Tissue Culture Plates are assembled using unique patented laser welding technology which reduces auto fluorescence and does not inhibit cell growth. Available with 190μm polystyrene base. Available TC treated: our advanced tissue-culture (TC) treatment method evenly coats each well for optimal cell adhesion properties for highest reproducibility between wells, plates and batches.

Key Features:

• Leak free
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and cyto-toxic
• Optimum signal-to-noise ratios
• Good cell adhesion
• Wicking and bubble formation eliminated
• SBS footprint
• Alphanumeric grid reference
• Recommended for confocal microscopy due to reduced cross-talk and superior base flatness
• Reduced auto fluorescence ensures their suitability for fluorescent assays
• Suitable for assays that measure absorbance in the visible light range (400-900nm wavelengths)
• Suitable for colorimetric assays
• Suitable for homogeneous assays
• Suitable for use in BMG lab tech, Molecular Devices, Promega Glomax and other plate readers
• Suitable for adhesive and heat sealing: our Moisture Barrier Seal 96 (4ti-0516/96) is recommended as it is optically clear and allows repeated imaging without removal, reducing contamination risks
• Available with 190μm polystyrene base
• All plates come sterilized, apart from 4ti-0224
• TC treated option available (4ti-0221)
• Available barcoded upon request

4titude rigid polycarbonate frame, for use with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips; for use on Roche LightCycler^® 480. These frames of 96 Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate for Removable 8 Well Tube Strips, Roche Style are molded from rigid polycarbonate for use with our polypropylene Removable 8 Well

4titude rigid polycarbonate frame, for use with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips; for use on Roche LightCycler^® 480. These frames of 96 Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate for Removable 8 Well Tube Strips, Roche Style are molded from rigid polycarbonate for use with our polypropylene Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips. The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips are inserted into the frames to form a complete plate, part plate, or individual strip with an easy-to-handle frame. As the Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips are interchangeable with the frames, the frames themselves are re-usable; simply purchase more Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips to use.

The frames can be purchased separately, or pre-loaded with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips have ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips have a low profile 0.1ml (100μl) working volume, with a 0.2ml (200μl) total well capacity when used with sealing options
• Raised well rims prevent cross contamination and facilitate effective sealing for reduced evaporation
• Rigid polycarbonate frames, which reduce thermal expansion and sample evaporation during PCR, leading to improved consistency in PCR results
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
• Available as a 96 Well Semi-Skirted Frame, Roche Style for use with the Roche LightCycler^® 480
• Also available as a 96 Well Skirted Frame for universal use
• Frames can be purchased on their own or pre-loaded with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips are available with clear wells
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips also available with white wells, giving the highest sensitivity and consistency for fluorescent detection during qPCR
• Available barcoded upon request

4titude low profile, individually removable 0.1ml polypropylene wells, rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. 96 Well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted separately into the plate frame, allowing for selection

4titude low profile, individually removable 0.1ml polypropylene wells, rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. 96 Well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted separately into the plate frame, allowing for selection and removal of individual tubes from the plate. Each tube clicks into place in the frame ensuring tubes are secure once inserted. The rigid polycarbonate skirt of this design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR.

Together with the SBS footprint, this makes the plate suitable for use with robotic systems, ideal for both small to high throughput labs. Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to. The frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Individually removable from the rigid frame, while the rest of the tubes can remain in storage, reducing freeze-thawing of the whole plate
• Thin walled tubes are made from PP for optimal results in (q)PCR whilst also being suitable for storage and incubation
• <100μl working volume, <200μl total well capacity
• Rigid polycarbonate frame provides mechanical stability of the plate
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Fewer transfer steps as the same tube can be used for both (q)PCR and storage
• Each tube can still be separated after sealing
• Each tube can be individually heat sealed using the Individual Access Pierce Heat Seal Strong, such as the contents of each tube is left secure from cross contamination and evaporation for storage and transfer
• Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to; frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application
• The plate can be sealed in one step using Individual Access Pierce Heat Seal Strong (4ti-05381/RA) on the Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter), resulting in individually sealed tubes with pierceable seals to allow for sample access
• Available barcoded upon request
• We also offer customization of the Individual Access Plates such as color coding of the individual wells; please contact an expert for details
