| 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

The seal prevents evaporation and contamination whilst enabling cells to breathe. It is 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.

The seal enables a high 4titude clear adhesive film, strong adhesive, peelable; suitable for PCR and optical applications; available as a full sheet, perforated for tearing into 8 well strips or 12 well strips Our PCR Seal is a durable transparent polyester film with a strong adhesive layer. The seal enables a high integrity and efficiently prevents sample evaporation. It is recommended for PCR, qPCR, and other optical applications (e.g. fluorescence or colorimetric measurements) as well as sample storage. The PCR Seal is also available in two flexible formats with perforated sheets, to enable tearing into 8 well and 12 well strips, respectively. This allows for sealing of complete 96 well plates, but also individual or multiple divisible plate strips, perfectly complementing these products. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502). Key Features: - Non-pierceable, please refer to our PCR Foil Seal Strong for a pierceable variant
- Peelable
- Seal integrity range: -20°C to 110°C
- Non-sterile
- Free from DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
- Applications: PCR, qPCR
- Removal: features adhesive-free end tabs for easy removal, will not leave a sticky residue on the plate surface following removal
- Sheet format: 135 x 80mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates
- Perforated sheet format: 115 x 100mm, for tearing into 8 well strips
- Perforated sheet format: 137 x 71mm, for tearing into 12 well strips

Our Peel Heat Seal is a laminate seal compatible with 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

Read More | 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 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
