4titude peelable heat sealing foil with wide material compatibility; suitable for low temperature storage, high temperature uses and PCR

Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. Our Universal Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with PP, PE, PS, COC and PC plates, providing the highest flexibility in plate material choice. Sample access is possible by peeling from the compatible materials and also by piercing the seal with needles, but not with plastic tips. It is resealable by applying another Universal Peel Heat Seal directly on top of a previously pierced seal.

Universal Peel Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling low temperature uses as well as high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid). The seal demonstrates moderate solvent resistance. Use of Universal Peel Heat Seal makes roll changes unnecessary even for customers using different microplate materials, because with minor adjustments of sealing parameters all common microplate materials can be sealed to.

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 with needle, but not with standard pipette tips
• Peelable
• Seal integrity temperature range: -80°C to 90°C (110°C when used with a pressurized heated lid)
• Autoclavable (121°C)
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Suitable for low temperature sample storage and high temperature uses, such as PCR
• Compatible with PP, PE, PS, COC and PC plates
• Wide material compatibility allows for high throughput sealing of different plates without the need for roll changes
• Resealable by applying another Universal Peel Heat Seal directly on top of a previously pierced seal
• Sheet format: 125mm 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 two roll dimensions, to suit your choice of automatic heat sealing equipment

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 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
