4titude gas permeable adhesive seal, peelable; suitable for cell culture

Our Cell Culture Adhesive Seal is a gas permeable adhesive seal which seals assay and tissue culture plates, microplates and storage plates. The seal prevents evaporation and contamination whilst enabling cells to breathe. It is made of a non-woven fiber with an acrylate adhesive layer for effective sealing. The seal has a low moisture transfer rate and a porosity enabling gas exchange.

Due to its paper-based material it should not be used in wet conditions. The seal is suitable for cell culture and enables long term culture with significantly reduced evaporation. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502).

Key Features:

• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -20°C to 40°C
• Gas permeability rate: 8,900m³/m²/day
• Moisture vapor transmission rate (very low): 4,200g/m²/day
• Air porosity: 10 sec/100 cc/im²
• RNase/DNase free
• Application: bacterial and eukaryotic cell culture
• Sheet format: 135 x 80mm
• Available sterile (4ti-0517/ST)

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

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.

Key Features:

• Leak free
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and cyto-toxic
• Optimum signal-to-noise ratios
• Good cell adhesion
• Wicking and bubble formation eliminated
• SBS footprint
• Alphanumeric grid reference
• Recommended for confocal microscopy due to reduced cross-talk and superior base flatness
• Reduced auto fluorescence ensures their suitability for fluorescent assays
• Suitable for assays that measure absorbance in the visible light range (400-900nm wavelengths)
• Suitable for colorimetric assays
• Suitable for homogeneous assays
• Suitable for use in BMG lab tech, Molecular Devices, Promega Glomax and other plate readers
• Suitable for adhesive and heat sealing: our Moisture Barrier Seal 96 (4ti-0516/96) is recommended as it is optically clear and allows repeated imaging without removal, reducing contamination risks
• Available with 190μm polystyrene base
• All plates come sterilized, apart from 4ti-0224
• TC treated option available (4ti-0221)
• Available barcoded upon request

4titude standard profile, 0.2ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame with upstand, cut corner A12, working volume: <200μl, total well capacity: 300μl; designed for use on ABI^® instruments. This ABI^® Style PCR plate offers the benefits of our 2-component design to ABI^®

4titude standard profile, 0.2ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame with upstand, cut corner A12, working volume: <200μl, total well capacity: 300μl; designed for use on ABI^® instruments. This ABI^® Style PCR plate offers the benefits of our 2-component design to ABI^® standard block users. This design combines the advantages of ultra-thin wall polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results with a rigid polycarbonate skirt and deck for the highest thermal stability. We recommend this semi-skirted plate for use with ABI^® thermal cyclers and sequencers; it can be used directly with ABI^® instruments with no adapters necessary. The only case where this is not true is with the ABI Fast Block thermal cyclers; in this case, using our FrameStar Fast Plate is recommended instead.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) results
• <0.2ml (200μl) working volume, 0.3ml (300μl) 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
• Ideal for use with ABI^® thermal cyclers & sequencers
• Recommended for low volume PCR
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
• Ideal for use with robotic systems
• Available with the following frame color options for the clear well variety: purple, blue, clear, green, red, and black
• Ethylene oxide treated option available for forensic use
• Available barcoded upon request
• Combi packs available (for 4ti-0730/C) with Optically Clear Windowed qPCR Seal (4ti-0565)
