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 384 (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-0204
• TC treated option available (4ti-0201)
• Available barcoded upon request

4titude aluminum heat sealing foil, resealable, peelable, pierceable; suitable for compound storage, PCR

Our Foil Heat Seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates. This seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be used for low temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents and short term room temperature storage. The Foil Heat Seal can be pierced with a pipette tip, manually or by liquid handling robots, or it can be removed by peeling. It can be resealed by applying another Foil Heat Seal directly on top of a previously pierced seal.

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.

A red stripe on the sheet foils clearly indicates the non-sealing surface, for ease of seal orientation and handling.

Key Features:

• Pierceable
• Peelable
• Resealable
• Seal integrity range: -20°C to 110°C
• Moderate solvent resistance
• Autoclavable (121°C)
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Seals polypropylene and polystyrene plates
• Suitable for short term storage
• 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

Cell Freezing Containers for controlled-rate alcohol-free cell freezing provide a highly reproducible -1?/minute freezing rate when placed in a -80? freezer, with no alcohol or fluids required.

Cell Freezing Containers for controlled-rate alcohol-free cell freezing provide a highly reproducible -1?/minute freezing rate when placed in a -80? freezer, with no alcohol or fluids required. The Cell Freezing Container technology utilizes a thermo-conductive alloy core and highly-insulative outer material to control the rate of heat removal to provide reproducible cell cryopreservation. The insulative outer housing and thermo-conductive solid state core ensure consistent heat removal to all vials throughout the freezing period.

Cell Freezing Containers can replace isopropanol-based freezing containers such as Mr. Frosty by ThermoFisher Scientific and others, which can consume up to 12l per year of IPA and cost hundreds of dollars per unit per year to maintain.

• Cost saving as no alcohol or fluids required
• Consistent heat removal through freezing period
• Unbreakable, easy and safe to open when frozen
• Easy and fast vial identification and removal
• Quick reuse time: the containers are ready to use again after 5 minutes
• For use with stem cells, primary cells and cell lines

FluidX 0.3ml dual-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

• Suitable for cryogenic storage

FluidX 0.3ml dual-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 laser etched 2D code and human readable number on tube base, allowing compatibility with low throughput manual, semi-automated or fully automated workflows on integrated platforms. Both codes are identical and auditing processes guarantee both codes match; standard 2D coding option is white on black.
