4titude 1.2ml and 2.2ml square wells, U and V shaped bottom, clear polypropylene. These storage plates are designed for high density sample collection and storage for a wide array of applications within cell biology, molecular biology and drug discovery. They come in three formats: 1.2ml

4titude 1.2ml and 2.2ml square wells, U and V shaped bottom, clear polypropylene. These storage plates are designed for high density sample collection and storage for a wide array of applications within cell biology, molecular biology and drug discovery. They come in three formats: 1.2ml volume U shaped well plates (4ti-0126), 2.2ml volume V shaped (4ti-0132), and 2.2ml volume U shaped (4ti-0136) plates. 4ti-0126 is also recommended as an elution plate on KingFisher™ platforms.

All of these plates are ultra-flat for a completely uniform seal, either with adhesive or heat seals, or with our accompanying silicone sealing mat (4ti-0137). These plates are manufactured in cleanroom facilities which are certified free of RNase, DNase, human genomic DNA and endotoxins. We use only the highest medical grade virgin polypropylene with high resistance against chemicals such as DMSO, phenol, and chloroform.

Key Features:

• Made from polypropylene, a material with very low biomolecular binding characteristics, a high temperature tolerance and resistance to many standard laboratory chemicals, including DMSO
• Autoclavable
• Free from RNase, DNase, human genomic DNA and endotoxins
• Conical V-bottoms (4ti-0132) and U-shaped bottoms (4ti-0126 and 4ti-0136)
• Square wells, to make the best use of space, and to improve mixing
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• SBS footprint
• Clear plate, perfect for storage applications
• Temperature range for use: -80°C to 120°C
• Best for precipitation, centrifugation and small volume recovery due to the conical V bottom, as the liquid gathers at the lowest point of the V for easy pipetting
• U-shaped bottom plates are best for washing, mixing and pelleting and give high surface area
• Stackable
• Suitable for adhesive and heat sealing
• Available with a U-shaped bottom in 1.2ml and 2.2ml
• Also available with a V-shaped bottom in 2.2ml
• Non-sterile as standard, sterilization available upon request
• Available barcoded upon request
• A clear silicone sealing mat (4ti-0137) is also available to fit these plates

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

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
