Plasticware has become an increasingly popular option for many labs in recent times. It’s low price point, ease of use, and often easily customizable features have allowed it to take a hold in the research world. Many disposable consumables and general lab supplies that are often used in the laboratory are made from plastics. This includes syringes, tubing, media bottles, flasks, cylinders, beakers and more.
Considerations for purchasing laboratory plasticware
When choosing plastic labware, make sure that the resin used is certified for the type of work your lab is doing. Plastic that is suitable for a high school chemistry lab may not be safe for the manufacture of medications, for instance, so check the certifications. If the plastic labware you are using will be utilized for medical devices, check to be sure that ISO 13485 requirements for its manufacture were met. Another feature to consider is what kind of seal the laboratory plasticware container has—some labs may need airtight seals, while others just need the tops covered.

| Description | 4titude 96 Individual tubes in plate format, low profile, flat optical bottom, 0.1ml clear polypropylene tubes, black rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. 96 Well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted 4titude 96 Individual tubes in plate format, low profile, flat optical bottom, 0.1ml clear polypropylene tubes, black rigid polycarbonate frame, cut corner H1, working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 180μl. 96 Well, fully skirted, low profile format with each tube inserted separately into the plate frame, allowing for selection and removal of individual tubes from the plate. Each tube clicks into place in the frame ensuring tubes are secure once inserted. The Individual Access range includes PCR plates with optically clear flat bottom wells for microscopy applications. The Individual Access 96 Well Skirted Optical Bottom PCR Plates (next to their counterpart within our FrameStar® range, 4ti-0970) are currently unique in the market, being suitable for use in both microscopy and PCR, for example, when single cell sorting is followed by molecular biology applications such as qPCR and sequencing. Due to their flat bottoms and stackability, these plates are well suited for small sample volume storage (such as compound libraries), with no risk of damaging the seal of the plate below. Additionally, the small well volume enables excellent sample recovery. The rigid polycarbonate skirt of this design eliminates warping and distortion during PCR. Together with the SBS footprint, this makes the plate suitable for use with robotic systems, ideal for both small and high throughput labs. Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to. The frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application. Key Features: - Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
- Individually removable from the rigid frame, while the rest of the tubes can remain in storage, reducing freeze-thawing of the whole plate
- Thin walled tubes are made from PP for optimal results in (q)PCR whilst also being suitable for storage and incubation
- <100μl working volume, <180μl total well capacity
- Rigid polycarbonate frame provides mechanical stability of the plate
- Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
- Suitable for microscopy and small volume sample storage
- Ideal for use with robotic systems
- Fewer transfer steps as the same tube can be used for microscopy, (q)PCR and storage
- Each tube can still be separated after sealing
- Each tube can be individually heat sealed using the Individual Access Pierce Heat Seal Strong, such as the contents of each tube is left secure from cross contamination and evaporation for storage and transfer
- Also available as a FrameStar plate (4ti-0970) with fixed wells
- Empty frames are available for tubes to be transferred to; frames can be re-used multiple times, depending on the application
- We also offer customization of the Individual Access Plates such as color coding of the individual wells; please contact an expert for details
- Available barcoded upon request
- The plate can be sealed in one step using Individual Access Pierce Heat Seal Strong (4ti-05381/RA) on the Semi-Automated Sheet Heat Sealer (using the 59-2005 Individual Access adapter), resulting in individually sealed tubes with pierceable seals to allow for sample access

FluidX cap carriers enable automated capping of 96-format sample storage tubes, leading to improved process efficiency and allowing batch filling of tubes prior to capping - Suitable automated and manual capping
- Available in 96-format SBS footprint
- For use with external/internal thread tubes
- Available empty or pre-filled with caps
Suitable for manual use or for use with Azenta Life Sciences Semi-Automated Screw Cap Decappers/Recappers, Single Channel and IntelliXcap™ Automated Screw Cap Decappers/Recappers. - Enable uncapped tubes to be used immediately and then capped using an automated capping and de-capping system
- When used manually, by transferring caps from the carrier to the tube using a single tube transfer device, the operation becomes faster and the risk of contamination is reduced as cap handling is eliminated
- Available in cases of 10 or 50, empty or pre-filled with low-retention screw caps that can reduce sample loss
