4titude peelable heat sealing film, optically clear; suitable for qPCR and optical applications

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 Heat Seal is an optically clear laminate film forming a peelable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates. Samples can also be accessed by pre-piercing with a blade, needle or our Pierce Plate (4ti-0398).

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 Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling both low temperature uses, including low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid). This seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage at room temperature.

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.

Our sheet seals are inter-leaved with paper sheets to help denote which side is the sealing side and aid removal of one sheet at a time from the pack. For applications requiring high tensile strength (e.g. bead mill applications) please see ourClear Heat Seal Plus.

4titude low profile, flat optical bottom, 0.1ml clear polypropylene wells, clear polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. This PCR plate with optically clear flat bottom wells is ideal for microscopy applications. Optical bottom plates are

4titude low profile, flat optical bottom, 0.1ml clear polypropylene wells, clear polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. This PCR plate with optically clear flat bottom wells is ideal for microscopy applications. Optical bottom plates are ideal for applications requiring single cell sorting followed by molecular biology techniques such as (q)PCR and sequencing. The flat bottoms enable excellent stackability, making these plates 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 low profile wells of this plate are shorter than "standard" profile wells, which decreases the "dead space" between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the reagents in the well. This reduces condensation forming on the side wall of the tubes, moderating changes in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. This is especially recommended for reaction volumes below 20μl.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Stackable
• Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene wells for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
• <0.1ml (100μl) working volume, 0.18ml (180μl) total well capacity
• The rigid polycarbonate skirt of this design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR, and makes it ideal for use with robotic systems
• 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
• Suitable for microscopy and small volume sample storage
• Recommended for low volume PCR
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Also available as an Individual Access plate (4ti-0970/RA) with individually detachable and sealable wells
