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
• Available as a 96 Well Skirted Frame for universal use
• Also available as a Roche Style plate for use with the Roche LightCycler^® 480
• Frames can be purchased on their own or pre-loaded with Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips are available with clear wells
• The Removable 8 Well PCR Tube Strips also available with white wells, giving the highest sensitivity and consistency for fluorescent detection during qPCR
• Available barcoded upon request

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.

Key Features:

• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -80°C to 80°C (to 110°C with a pressurized heated PCR lid)
• Optically clear
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• Applications: imaging, fluorescent detection, and colorimetric assays
• Suitable for PCR and qPCR
• Seals polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates
• 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

FluidX 0.9ml tri-coded tubes offer unequaled sample audit traceability, enabling sample tracking and data sharing between multiple users, labs, locations and automation capabilities

• Next Generation manufacturing techniques
• Code readable without removing tubes from racks
• Suitable for cryogenic storage

FluidX 0.9ml tri-coded tubes offer unequaled sample audit traceability, enabling sample tracking and data sharing between multiple users, labs, locations and automation capabilities

• Next Generation manufacturing techniques
• Code readable without removing tubes from racks
• Suitable for cryogenic storage
• Made from high-quality virgin PP
• Available in 96-well format SBS racks or bulk
• Sealable with screw caps/TPE septum caps

Designed and developed with broad compatibility in mind, the tubes perform without compromise in conjunction with automated barcode reading, capping and sample management systems from Azenta Life Sciences and all other industry-recognized manufacturers.

Provides a lifelong and secure chain of custody for samples in biobanks, compound libraries and a broad range of biological and chemical stores, including cryogenic storage. Developed to exceed the demands of sample security, management and tracking in modern high density storage applications.

Each tube features a permanent 2D code laser etched in high contrast on the tube base, a permanent 1D linear barcode and human-readable number laser etched in high-contrast on the tube side. All three codes are identical and auditing processes guarantee all three codes match; standard 2D coding option is black on white.

Thermoconductive Tube Racks are precision-engineered sample modules manufactured from a novel thermo-conductive alloy material, designed to evenly distribute temperature across all wells providing uniform and consistent temperature to all samples (+/-0.1°C)The modules eliminate variability which originate from tubes placed directly into ice, dry ice, alcohol baths, water baths and other temperature sources.

• Ideal for cooling, snap freezing, heating or thawing
• Helps keep samples organized and dry
• All tubes upright and indexed
• Reproducible method
• Removes all problems created by placing sample directly in ice: variable sample temperature, wet labels, contamination risk

On ice

• Adapts from ambient (25°C) to <4°c in="" 60-90="">
• Samples and labels stay dry
• Hours of ice cooling without direct ice contact

On dry ice

• Adapts from ambient (25°C) to -78°C in approximately 5-7 minutes*
• Eliminates ethanol from snap freezing
• Equal or better freezing rate as compared to direct immersion into dry ice or alcohol slurry

In liquid nitrogen

• Adapts from ambient (25°C) to approximately -150°C in approximately 12-14 minutes*
• Vapor barrier protects from ambient air
• No direct contact between samples and LN2

Heat sources

• Use with water baths, hot plates, incubators and other heat sources to keep samples warm

*Average cooling rate from room temperature

How it Works: Ease of Use:

• Thermoconductive Tube Rack on ice: heat from the relatively warmer Thermoconductive Tube Rack module is transferred to cooling source (wet or dry ice, cartridge, LN2) until equilibrium is reached
• Thermoconductive Tube Rack in water bath: heat is transferred from water bath toward relatively cooler Thermoconductive Tube Rack until equilibrium is reached
