X-PierceTM sealing films are 89 µm thick vinyl with a 18 µm thick adhesive layer, designed for temporary protection from contamination and evaporation for samples in 96-well plates. A precut "X" over each well creates four flaps that easily bend downward when pushed by a robotic probe or pipet tip, allowing sample access without coring or adhesive fouling. A thin adhesive layer and special hairline cuts separating the X-Pierce…

With a 70 µm polyethylene top layer and inert white polypropylene and acrylic adhesive sublayer, this easy-piercing sealing film allows direct sample recovery with single or multichannel pipettors and robotic probes. The adhesive-free zone above each well prevents adhesive fouling of the pipet tip or probe, ultimately minimizing the amount of adhesive that comes into contact with the sample. Dimensions are 79.4 by 142.9 mm for…

BrightMaxTM sealing films are 203 µm thick white vinyl films with 37 µm acrylic adhesive for use with white microplates. The sealing films may be applied to either the top or bottom of the plate. A split backing aids in applying the sealing film properly. The light-reflective properties of BrightMax plate-sealing films on clear-bottom plates maximize sensitivity of bioluminescence and chemiluminscence assays in bottom-reading…

AbsorbMaxTM sealing films are 203 µm thick black vinyl films with 37 µm acrylic adhesive for use with 96-well, 384-well, and 1536-well black microplates. The sealing films may be applied to either the top or bottom of the plate. A split backing aids in applying the sealing film properly. Edge cutouts assist in positioning and accomodate ribs on the plate bottom. The light-blocking and absorbing properties of AbsorbMax sealing…

Evenly applies film on raised rim plates.

eXTReme™ Seal features an extra-strong, thick adhesive to minimize evaporation yet removes easily without leaving residue on the plate.

eXTReme™ Seal features an extra-strong, thick adhesive to minimize evaporation yet removes easily without leaving residue on the plate.

Quickly seal in heat with the Thermo Scientific ™ ALPS 3000 Automated Microplate Heat Sealer.

Apply consistent, secure, tight seals around individual wells, eliminating sample loss through evaporation and cross-contamination between wells.

Optimize storage capacity and improve mixing using these DeepWell™ storage plates featuring shared-wall technology. Shared-Wall reduces the height of the plate, increases the diameter of the well for sample extraction.

The Rapid_pH™ Automated 96 pH meter automates the pH measurements of samples in a 96 well format. The Rapid_pH allows samples to be processed in a fraction of the time compared to manual methods avoiding errors in both measurement and data registration. Full automation for well plates and other arrayed containers provides unattended runs and walk-away time.

IRDye 680RD is the near-infrared fluorescent dye of choice for applications in the 700 nm wavelength, especially Western blots, cell-based assays such as the In-Cell Western assay, and small animal imaging experiments.

IRDye® Click Chemistry reagents (DBCO, Alkyne, and Azide) offer convenient, versatile and reliable methods for biomolecule labeling. With a variety of in vitro and in vivo applications, from biomarker isolation to assay development.

IRDye Infrared Dyes and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent imaging deliver enhanced sensitivity due to low background autofluorescence in the near-infrared region, therefore, giving a higher signal to noise ratios.

IRDye 680LT dye is highly soluble in water and is significantly brighter and more photostable than many other 700 nm near-infrared dyes.

BRANDplates® inertGrade™ 96-well plates are especially suited for cell culture applications when adhesion is not desired. These plates are specifically designed for the cultivation of suspension, tumor, and stem cells, as well as other spheroid or 3-dimensional tissue culture models. They feature a surface that reduces cell adhesion and protein absorption to minimize enzyme and cellular activation. All BRANDplates® inertGra…

BRAND UV-Cuvettes are a popular disposable alternative to quartz spectrophotometry cuvettes. They are excellent for DNA, RNA, and protein analyses as well as many other applications between 230-900nm. BRAND UV-Cuvettes are a more convenient and economical choice than quartz cuvettes. They eliminate the risk of cross-contamination from reuse and the need for cuvette washing. The proprietary material offers chemical compatibi…
