| Description | Thermoconductive Tube Racks are precision-engineered sample modules manufactured from a novel thermo-conductive alloy material, designed to evenly distribute temperature across all wells providing uniform and consistent temperature to all samples (+/-0.1°C)The modules eliminate variability which Thermoconductive Tube Racks are precision-engineered sample modules manufactured from a novel thermo-conductive alloy material, designed to evenly distribute temperature across all wells providing uniform and consistent temperature to all samples (+/-0.1°C)The modules eliminate variability which originate from tubes placed directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other temperature sources. - Ideal for cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing
- Helps keep samples organized and dry
- All tubes upright and indexed
- Reproducible method
- Removes all problems created by placing sample directly in ice: variable sample temperature, wet labels, contamination risk
On ice - Adapts from ambient (25°C) to <4°c in="" 60-90="">
- Samples and labels stay dry
- Hours of ice cooling without direct ice contact
On dry ice - Adapts from ambient (25°C) to -78°C in approximately 5-7 minutes*
- Eliminates ethanol from snap freezing
- Equal or better freezing rate as compared to direct immersion into dry ice or alcohol slurry
In liquid nitrogen - Adapts from ambient (25°C) to approximately -150°C in approximately 12-14 minutes*
- Vapor barrier protects from ambient air
- No direct contact between samples and LN2
Heat sources - Use with water baths, hot plates, incubators and other heat sources to keep samples warm
*Average cooling rate from room temperature How it Works: Ease of Use: - Thermoconductive Tube Rack on ice: heat from the relatively warmer Thermoconductive Tube Rack module is transferred to cooling source (wet or dry ice, cartridge, LN2) until equilibrium is reached
- Thermoconductive Tube Rack in water bath: heat is transferred from water bath toward relatively cooler Thermoconductive Tube Rack until equilibrium is reached

The seal prevents evaporation and contamination whilst enabling cells to breathe. It is 4titude gas permeable adhesive seal, peelable; suitable for cell culture Our Cell Culture Adhesive Seal is a gas permeable adhesive seal which seals assay and tissue culture plates, microplates and storage plates. The seal prevents evaporation and contamination whilst enabling cells to breathe. It is made of a non-woven fiber with an acrylate adhesive layer for effective sealing. The seal has a low moisture transfer rate and a porosity enabling gas exchange. Due to its paper-based material it should not be used in wet conditions. The seal is suitable for cell culture and enables long term culture with significantly reduced evaporation. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502). Key Features: - Peelable
- Seal integrity range: -20°C to 40°C
- Gas permeability rate: 8,900m3/m2/day
- Moisture vapor transmission rate (very low): 4,200g/m2/day
- Air porosity: 10 sec/100 cc/im2
- RNase/DNase free
- Application: bacterial and eukaryotic cell culture
- Sheet format: 135 x 80mm
- Available sterile (4ti-0517/ST)

The low profile wells of this plate are shorter than "standard" 4titude low profile, 0.1ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl; universal non-skirted, low profile plate designed for use on all major 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, meaning seal integrity is not compromised and less of your sample is lost through evaporation. Key Features: - Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
- 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
- Recommended for low volume PCR
- Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
- Available with the following frame color options for the clear well variety: purple, blue, and clear
- Also available as a black frame with white wells for optimum signal-to-noise ratio when using fluorescent based assays
