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.

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 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.
