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

4titude rigid polycarbonate frame, for use with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips; for universal use. 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

4titude polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, cut corner A24; working volume: <30μl, total well capacity: 55μl; designed for use on standard thermal cyclers. Our FrameStar 384 Well Skirted PCR Plates are designed for high-throughput PCR. They are compatible with the majority of 384

4titude polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, cut corner A24; working volume: <30μl, total well capacity: 55μl; designed for use on standard thermal cyclers. Our FrameStar 384 Well Skirted PCR Plates are designed for high-throughput PCR. They are compatible with the majority of 384 well block PCR, qPCR and sequencing instruments. The rigid 2-component design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR making it ideal for use with robotic systems. The skirt 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
• <30μl working volume, 55μl 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 the frame
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Recommended for low volume PCR
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes

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"

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
