4titude 96 Individual tubes in plate format, low profile, flat optical bottom, 0.1ml clear polypropylene tubes, black rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. 96 Well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted

4titude 96 Individual tubes in plate format, low profile, flat optical bottom, 0.1ml clear polypropylene tubes, black rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. 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 Individual Access range includes PCR plates with optically clear flat bottom wells for microscopy applications. The Individual Access 96 Well Skirted Optical Bottom PCR Plates (next to their counterpart within our FrameStar^® range, 4ti-0970) are currently unique in the market, being suitable for use in both microscopy and PCR, for example, when single cell sorting is followed by molecular biology applications such as qPCR and sequencing.

Due to their flat bottoms and stackability, these plates are well suited for small sample volume storage (such as compound libraries), with no risk of damaging the seal of the plate below. Additionally, the small well volume enables excellent sample recovery. 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 and 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, <180μl total well capacity
• Rigid polycarbonate frame provides mechanical stability of the plate
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Suitable for microscopy and small volume sample storage
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Fewer transfer steps as the same tube can be used for microscopy, (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
• Also available as a FrameStar plate (4ti-0970) with fixed wells
• Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to; frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application
• We also offer customization of the Individual Access Plates such as color coding of the individual wells; please contact an expert for details
• Available barcoded upon request
• 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

4titude standard profile, 0.2ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, working volume: <200μl, total well capacity: 300μl; available with either strips of domed or flat optical caps

Azenta Life Sciences 8 Well PCR Tube Strips with PC Frame are a 2-component design, combining the advantages of thin-walled tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame portion for easy and reliable handling.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Made of polypropylene, for the most efficient heat transfer, as well as an inert surface with low binding capabilities for nucleic acids, proteins and other molecules
• By molding the frame portion in a more rigid polymer, the mechanical stability of the strip has been greatly improved compared with traditional single piece products
• End tabs allow for easy handling and labeling of the strips
• Compatible with the majority of thermal cyclers
• Available with the following frame color options for the clear well variety, for color coding of experiments: purple, blue, green, red, and black
• Also available with white wells in black frames for optical assays such as those used in qPCR, as white wells increase the signal-to-noise ratio by maximizing reflection of light in fluorescent based assays
• Available with either domed cap strips or with flat optically clear caps
• Also available with an off-the-shelf 2D code, offering an endless supply of unique code combinations

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)

4titude pierceable heat sealing foil, high solvent resistance, resealable, suitable for PCR/storage/shipping

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. Pierce Heat Seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates. This seal demonstrates good solvent resistance and can be used for low temperature and room temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents.

Pierce Heat Seal can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, or by a liquid handling robot. This seal can be resealed by applying another Pierce Seal straight on top of a previously pierced seal. A blue stripe on the sheet foils clearly indicates the non-sealing surface, for ease of seal orientation and handling. Pierce Heat Seal sheets are also available with a printed grid reference on the non-sealing surface.

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.

Key Features:

• Pierceable
• Resealable
• Seal integrity range: -20°C to 120°C
