| Description | 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

Our Clear Heat Seal is an optically clear laminate film forming a 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

- Free from DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
- Applications: long-term plate storage, samples containing <80% Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) can be stored for up to 5 years
- Removal: this seal will not leave a sticky residue on the plate surface following removal
- Suitable for cutting to fit part plates
- Sheet format: 122 x 80mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint plates, PCR and qPCR plates and part plates, microplates, assay and storage plates

It is non sticky when removed from the packaging; this aids 4titude optically clear adhesive film, pressure activated adhesive, peelable; suitable for qPCR and other imaging techniques including crystallization Optically clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR. 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
