| Description | 4titude optically clear heat sealing film, non-peelable, difficult to pierce; suitable for qPCR, optical applications and storage 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 Weld Heat Seal is an 4titude optically clear heat sealing film, non-peelable, difficult to pierce; suitable for qPCR, optical applications and storage 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 Weld Heat Seal is an optically clear polymer film forming a permanent seal to polypropylene plates. 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 Weld Heat Seal forms a complete seal to a plate, enabling both low and very high temperature uses, including low temperature storage and high temperature incubations. This seal is suitable for PCR/qPCR, even without the use of a pressurized heated lid, and is 100% effective when used in water bath thermal cyclers. The permanent nature of this 100% effective seal renders it suitable for the storage and disposal of hazardous material. Clear Weld Heat Seal demonstrates a good solvent resistance and can be utilized for long term compound storage. Samples can be accessed by pre-piercing with a blade, needle or our Pierce Plate (4ti-0398). 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: - Permanent seal

Read More | 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 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. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502). Key Features: - Peelable
- Seal integrity range: -20°C to 40°C
- Gas permeability rate: 8,900m3/m2/day
- Moisture vapor transmission rate (very low): 4,200g/m2/day
- Air porosity: 10 sec/100 cc/im2
- RNase/DNase free
- Application: bacterial and eukaryotic cell culture
- Sheet format: 135 x 80mm
- Available sterile (4ti-0517/ST)

It was developed for PCR and other high temperature applications due to its effectiveness in 4titude pierceable adhesive aluminum foil, strong adhesive, peelable; suitable for high temperature applications This aluminum foil seal has a strong acrylic adhesive which produces a seal of high integrity. It was developed for PCR and other high temperature applications due to its effectiveness in preventing sample evaporation. The PCR Foil Seal is pierceable; when pierced, the foil tears in an irregular manner which prevents the formation of a vacuum. It also has perforated end tabs for easy application and removal by peeling. For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502). Key Features: - Pierceable
- Peelable
- Seal integrity range: -40°C to 120°C
- Free from DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
- Applications: PCR, incubation, storage
- Suitable for cutting to fit part plates
- Sheet format: 130 x 80mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates

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
