Precision control of your cell culture environment for advanced live cell imaging and microscopy

Create daughter plates in the blink of an eye

Save space, Protect Samples.

Alpha's shallow, 96-well, microtitre plates incorporate a moulded alphanumeric index with cut-away corners at positions H1 and H12 for easy orientation.

APEX® Screw-Cap Microcentrifuge Tubes are ideal for sample collection, processing and storage.

Cyto-Chex® BCT is a direct-draw vacuum blood collection tube that contains a preservative reagent.The integrity of white blood cells is maintained at room temperature for three times longer than when using traditional methods.

Tubes for sample processing and storage.

Several types of sealing systems are available and different techniques and products can be used including adhesive sealed films and foils, sealing mats and plate lids.

4titude®’s Vision Plates™ have been designed for high content screening (HCS) assays in drug development and related areas. They are also suitable for homogeneous assays, employing fluorescence intensity, FRET and TR-FRET where measurements are bottom-read. The high quality optical base plate assures the necessary accuracy and consistency for automated high throughput systems, generating optimum signal-to-noise ratios.

This PCR Seal is a durable transparent polyester film with a strong adhesive layer. This seal enables a high seal 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.

Peel 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.

Pierce Seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene plates. The seal demonstrates good solvent resistance and can be used for both low temperature and room temperature compound storage in DMSO and organic solvents.

Clear Seal is an optically clear polymer film forming a peelable seal to polypropylene, Polyethylene, polystyrene and Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) plates.

DMSO Resistant Peel Seal is a foil seal compatible with polypropylene and forming an excellent seal to Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) plates.

Thermal Bond heat seal is a heavy duty laminate foil seal suitable for providing a very strong, but peelable seal. The seal is compatible with polypropylene plates to provide a high degree of sample protection. It demonstrates very good solvent resistance and can be used for very low temperature compound storage, in DMSO and organic solvents, and long term room temperature storage such that it is recommended as suitable for s…

Absorbance Microplate Reader for ELISA and Protein Assays

A 48 um soft non-permeable aluminum foil sealing film with 30 um layer of strong acrylic adhesive. FoilSealTM sealing foils remove cleanly from plate surfaces with no adhesive stringing, residue or contamination. Each sealing foil measures 78.3 x 129 mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all plate types (e.g. flat top and raised-rim). Chamfered corners result in no plate overhang for robotics applications. Features one end…

SealPlate® 50 µm thickness polyester sealing films minimize evaporation, prevent spillage and contamination between wells, and provide a secure seal, not just a cover. Secure sealing of all wells eliminates "edge effects" in sensitive ELISA assays. SealPlate sealing films can also be used with tissue-culture plates for short-term storage, incubation, and containment of biohazards. SealPlate sealing films are non-pierceable. Ea…

A 140 µm thick hydrophobic porous rayon sealing film including medical-grade adhesive for tissue culture plates, bio-blocks, and 96-well plates where gas exchange is necessary for cell or bacterial growth. AeraSeal sealing films minimize cross-contamination, spillage and evaporation. They allow uniform air and CO2 exchange for all wells, unlike plate lids which favor exchange for wells near the plate edges. Dimensions: 82.6 by…

Excel Scientific now offers adhesive sealing films on Roll-Seal™ rolls for use with high-throughput automated microplate sealers. Film rolls, constructed on three-inch-diameter plastic cores, are compatible with most common adhesive sealers (Brandel, Thermo-Fisher/Abgene, FluidX, KBiosystems). The Roll-Seal format provides reliable and efficient sealing at a lower cost per plate with minimal user intervention. Robust static-fr…
