| Description | 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 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

Pierce Heat Seal is compatible with polypropylene and 4titude pierceable heat sealing foil, high solvent resistance, resealable, suitable for PCR/storage/shipping Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method of plate sealing, for complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective. Pierce Heat Seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates. This seal demonstrates good solvent resistance and can be used for low temperature and room temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents. Pierce Heat Seal can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, or by a liquid handling robot. This seal can be resealed by applying another Pierce Seal straight on top of a previously pierced seal. A blue stripe on the sheet foils clearly indicates the non-sealing surface, for ease of seal orientation and handling. Pierce Heat Seal sheets are also available with a printed grid reference on the non-sealing surface. 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
- Resealable
- Seal integrity range: -20°C to 120°C
- Good solvent resistance
- Autoclavable (121°C)
- Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
- Seals polypropylene and polystyrene plates
- Suitable for long term 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
- Available with printed grid reference (in sheet format, 4ti-0531/GR)
- Non-sterile as standard; sterilization available upon request
- Custom printing available on request

It is non sticky when removed from the packaging; this aids handling when wearing gloves. The adhesive is contained within small capsules, allowing light to pass through to ensure the optical clarity of the seal. When the seal is in position, pressure can be applied to burst the capsules, releasing a strong adhesive only where the seal touches the raised well rims of the plate - the rest of the seal area above the wells remains optically clear. Key Features: - Non-pierceable
- Peelable
- Seal integrity range: -80°C to 110°C
- Free from DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
- Non-sterile
- Applications: qPCR and other fluorescent applications, plate readers, microscopy and protein crystallization (96 or 384 well)
- Removal: will not leave a sticky residue on the plate surface following removal
- Replacement for: ABI® MicroAmp Optical Adhesive film, Absolute qPCR plate seals and Roche LightCycler® sealing foils
- Sheet format: 140 x 77mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates with 96 round wells
- Roll format: 100m x 80mm, approx. 700 seals

- 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
