4titude optically clear heat sealing film, non-peelable, difficult to pierce; suitable for qPCR, optical applications and storage

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. Our Clear Weld Heat Seal is an optically clear polymer film forming a permanent seal to polypropylene plates. The optical clarity of this seal enables its use for sealing plates required for imaging use, including fluorescent detection methods such as qPCR and colorimetric assays.

The Clear Weld Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate, enabling both low and very high temperature uses, including low temperature storage and high temperature incubations. This seal is suitable for PCR/qPCR, even without the use of a pressurized heated lid, and is 100% effective when used in water bath thermal cyclers.

The permanent nature of this 100% effective seal renders it suitable for the storage and disposal of hazardous material. Clear Weld Heat Seal demonstrates a good solvent resistance and can be utilized for long term compound storage. Samples can be accessed by pre-piercing with a blade, needle or our Pierce Plate (4ti-0398).

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:

• Permanent seal
• Difficult to pierce
• Non-peelable
• Seal integrity range: -80°C to 110°C
• DMSO and solvent resistant
• Autoclavable (121°C)*
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Applications: suitable for PCR and qPCR, long term storage, and disposal of hazardous materials
• Seals polypropylene plates
• Compatible with water bath thermal cyclers
• 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

* Once autoclaved, not recommended for PCR applications.

4titude low profile, individually removable 0.1ml polypropylene wells, rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. 96 Well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted separately into the plate frame, allowing for selection

4titude low profile, individually removable 0.1ml polypropylene wells, rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. 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 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 to 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, <200μl total well capacity
• Rigid polycarbonate frame provides mechanical stability of the plate
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Fewer transfer steps as the same tube can be used for both (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
• Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to; frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application
• 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
• Available barcoded upon request
• We also offer customization of the Individual Access Plates such as color coding of the individual wells; please contact an expert for details

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
