4titude peelable heat sealing foil; 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 Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with polypropylene plates. It can be removed from polypropylene plates by peeling, even with a plate which has been removed directly from -80°C storage.

Peel Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate enabling very low temperature uses, including very low temperature storage, and high temperature uses, such as PCR (when used with a pressurized heated lid). The 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.

Key Features:

• Peelable from polypropylene and COC plates
• Seal integrity range: -80°C to 90°C (110°C when used with pressurized heated lid)
• Good solvent resistance including DMSO
• Autoclavable (121°C)
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Suitable for short term room temperature storage
• Suitable for very low temperature storage
• 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

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 384 (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-0204
• TC treated option available (4ti-0201)
• Available barcoded upon request

4titude rigid polycarbonate frame, for use with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips; for universal use. These frames of 96 Well Semi-Skirted PCR Plate for Removable 8 Well Tube Strips, Roche Style are molded from rigid polycarbonate for use with our polypropylene Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips. The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips are inserted into the frames to form a complete plate, part plate, or individual strip with an easy-to-handle frame. As the Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips are interchangeable with the frames, the frames themselves are re-usable; simply purchase more Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips to use.

The frames can be purchased separately, or pre-loaded with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips have ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips have a low profile 0.1ml (100μl) working volume, with a 0.2ml (200μl) total well capacity when used with sealing options
• Raised well rims prevent cross contamination and facilitate effective sealing for reduced evaporation
• Rigid polycarbonate frames, which reduce thermal expansion and sample evaporation during PCR, leading to improved consistency in PCR results
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes

Cell Freezing Containers for controlled-rate alcohol-free cell freezing provide a highly reproducible -1?/minute freezing rate when placed in a -80? freezer, with no alcohol or fluids required. The Cell Freezing Container technology utilizes a thermo-conductive alloy core and highly-insulative outer material to control the rate of heat removal to provide reproducible cell cryopreservation. The insulative outer housing and thermo-conductive solid state core ensure consistent heat removal to all vials throughout the freezing period.

Cell Freezing Containers can replace isopropanol-based freezing containers such as Mr. Frosty by ThermoFisher Scientific and others, which can consume up to 12l per year of IPA and cost hundreds of dollars per unit per year to maintain.

• Cost saving as no alcohol or fluids required
• Consistent heat removal through freezing period
• Unbreakable, easy and safe to open when frozen
• Easy and fast vial identification and removal
• Quick reuse time: the containers are ready to use again after 5 minutes
• For use with stem cells, primary cells and cell lines
