4titude 1.2ml or 2.0ml round wells, U-shaped bottom, clear polypropylene. These 96 deep well storage microplates are suitable for many manual and automated protocols, such as the Illumina^® library and sample preparations, due to the plates' SBS footprint. Additionally, they are suitable for use on magnetic plates for bead separation protocols. Our round deep well storage microplates are available in two types of well volumes: 1.2ml wells (4ti-0120) and 2.0ml wells (4ti-0130).

Both of these plates are ultra-flat for a completely uniform seal, either with our adhesive or heat seals, or with our accompanying silicone sealing mats (4ti-0135 mat for the 1.2ml plate; 4ti-0138 mat for the 2.0ml plate). 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
• U-shaped bottoms
• Round wells, suitable for most applications as they reduce droplet effects and wicking
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• SBS footprint
• Clear plate, perfect for storage applications
• Suitable as a collection plate from filter systems
• Temperature range for use: -80°C to 120°C
• 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 1.2ml and 2.0ml wells
• Non-sterile as standard, sterilization available upon request
• Available barcoded upon request
• 2 clear silicone sealing mats (4ti-0135 and 4ti-0138) are 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. 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

4titude low profile, 0.1ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1; working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. 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, and makes it ideal for use with robotic systems.

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
• <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
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
• Ethylene oxide treated option available (4ti-OX960C/SBC) for forensic use
• Ultra-low DNA binding option available (4ti-LB0960/RIG) for sensitive applications with ultra-low DNA input and for maximum DNA recovery after low temperature storage and high temperature incubation
• Available barcoded upon request
• Clear Polystyrene Lid (4ti-0287) available for 4ti-0960/RIG

4titude 96 individual tubes in plate format, low profile, flat bottom 2D coded, 0.1ml clear polypropylene tubes, white rigid polycarbonate frame, linear barcoded, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. 96 well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube

4titude 96 individual tubes in plate format, low profile, flat bottom 2D coded, 0.1ml clear polypropylene tubes, white rigid polycarbonate frame, linear barcoded, 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 2D coded flat bottoms for applications that require superior sample tracking. In applications where it is essential for samples to be tracked throughout their processing, e.g. for diagnostic assays on clinical samples, tube labeling is a far safer and reliable method compared to cap or seal labeling (which can be misplaced, damaged or rendered unreadable after piercing).

Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to. The frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application. Sample tubes can be identified by the unique 2D code on the base of the wells, removed from the Individual Access plate quickly and easily, and moved to another Individual Access frame for downstream processing or storage.

Quick selection of desired tubes reduces the time needed for the sample plate to be out of the freezer and therefore reduces the chance of other wells defrosting in the meantime. Flat bottom PCR plates can be stacked, allowing for optimal use of freezer space as multiple plates can be housed in the same space as a storage rack.

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
• These plates are labeled with linear Code 128-format barcodes to aid identification and traceability for your samples
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Suitable for small volume sample storage, allowing for optimal use of freezer space as multiple plates can be housed in the same space as a storage rack
• 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 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
• Each tube can still be separated after sealing
• Also available as a Individual Access optical bottom plate (4ti-0970/RA) with black frame, ideal for microscopy and PCR
• 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
• 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

4titude pierceable heat sealing foil, high solvent resistance, resealable, suitable for PCR/storage/shipping

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. Pierce Heat Seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates. This seal demonstrates good solvent resistance and can be used for low temperature and room temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents.

Pierce Heat Seal can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, or by a liquid handling robot. This seal can be resealed by applying another Pierce Seal straight on top of a previously pierced seal. A blue stripe on the sheet foils clearly indicates the non-sealing surface, for ease of seal orientation and handling. Pierce Heat Seal sheets are also available with a printed grid reference on the non-sealing surface.

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:

• Pierceable
• Resealable
• Seal integrity range: -20°C to 120°C
• Good solvent resistance
