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…

The new Insert system consists of 24-well standard and 6-well specialized plates and strips of hanging cell culture inserts for applications such as co-culture,…

Adaptable Microplate Solution for Custom ELISA Applications. BRANDplates® Strip Plates are especially suited for laboratories designing custom ELISA applications, or desiring increased flexibility in their ELISA application. To ensure the effective binding of a wide range of antigens or antibodies to the microplate surface, the strip plates are available in two treatment types: pureGrade™ or immunoGrade™. The pureGrade™ plate…

The BRAND Liquid Handling Station pipetting robot handles routine tasks at high speed and with the highest precision. The LHS closes the gap between electronic pipettes and highly complex, expensive pipetting robots. It is a quiet and compact instrument with a unique front door allowing it be set up in tight quarters. The instrument has 7 working positions and 5 available liquid ends with single channel volumes up to 1000uL an…

Sensitive Quantitation of Single-Stranded DNARequires less DNA than spectrophotometry

The BRAND Liquid Handling Station (LHS) pipetting robot handles routine tasks at high speed and with the highest precision.

LDH-Glo™ Cytotoxicity Assay detects cell death from a small number of cells, including 3D cell cultures, based on the release of lactate dehydrogenase.

The RealTime-Glo™ Annexin V Apoptosis and Necrosis Assay provides a no-wash, one-step Annexin V assay that allows continual monitoring of cell state to determine apoptotic onset using a plate-reading luminometer.

The GSH/GSSG-Glo™ Assay is a bioluminescent assay to detect and quantitate total glutathione ratios.

BRAND 96, 384, 1536-well polystyrene and polypropylene microtitration plates are excellent for cell and tissue culture, sample storage, immunological assays, and other applications. BrandTech Plates have 96, 384 and 1536 wells and are available with 330µL or 400µL well volumes. They are fully compatible with most standard plate readers and washers. Both sterile and non-sterile BRAND plates are available with rounded, V-shaped…

The QuEChERS Clean-up step is rapidly completed using the QuICK QuEChERS cartridge. This self-contained cartridge contains 110 mg of anhydrous MgSO4 and 180 mg of PSA. Placed on the end of a disposable syringe, the QuEChERS extract is pushed through directly into a sample vial for analysis. Clean-up is equivalent to dSPE clean-up, but faster and easier, eliminating the need for centrifugation.

Activated carbon cartridge product EU52112M6 with 2 grams carbon/6 mL cartridge has proven to be effective for the extraction of nitrosamines in drinking water Method 521.  EPA Method 522 for 1, 4 dioxane is extracted using one of two options.  EU52112M6 is suitable for Option 1 which uses this product with 2 grams carbon in a 6 mL cartridge.

Pre-packed 6 ml anion exchange SPE cartridges are made to the exact specification of EPA Method 548 to assure high capture efficiency and consistent results for excellent analytical reproducibility.

Airborne laboratory contamination may interfere with solid-phase extraction results. This problem is easily prevented by using the Zero-Blank filter. Using an adaptor (included), this cartridge is fitted on top of the SPE cartridge during the drying step and captures potential contamination making results more accurate.

Clean, activated, and ready-for-use, 30 mesh copper granules remove unwanted elemental sulfur from pesticide and PCB extracts. Granules are much easier to use than copper powder or TBA and eliminate the need for toxic mercury.

Chlorophyll in QuEChERS extracts must be removed to reduce potential instrument downtime. This is removed from extracts using graphitized carbon black (GCB) Unfortunately, GCB also removes planar analytes reducing analytical accuracy. ChloroFiltr®, used in place of GCB in dSPE tubes, removes unwanted chlorophyll without removing pesticides or environmental analytes. No change in procedure are required.

When clean plastic cartridges are not clean enough. 6 mL glass SPE cartridges can be packed with your choice of UCT sorbent using PTFE frits and individually sealed in certified Mylar for purity.

Enviro-Clean 500mg/6mL cartridge PSDVB w/Polyethylene frits. It is used with EPA Methods 526, 527, 528, 529 and 8330.

Select pH Buffer Pouches - UCT has developed a line of premeasured “ready-to-use” phosphate and acetate buffer pouches. These pouches contain the correct quantity of reagent to quickly and accurately prepare buffers at the correct pH and concentration to simplify solid-phase extraction methods.

Styre Screen® Extraction Columns contain an ultra clean, highly cross-linked styrene and divinylbenzene copolymer. The Styre Screen particles have an average particle size of 30 microns and a very high analyte capacity making them ideal for standard solid phase extraction applications. The increased analyte capacity means that less sorbent bed mass is needed which results in faster flow rates and less solvent use. Higher th…

XtrackT® columns are gravity-flow SPE columns that allow for extraction of acids, neutrals, bases in viscous samples such as equine urine, post-mortem blood and tissues, amniotic fluid, and meconium.

The Universal Vacuum Manifold system accommodates 24, 48 and 96 well plate configurations. This system includes a collection plate, extraction plate, manifold and vacuum gauge waste base for all wellplates.

Universal C18 - Enviro-Clean SPE Cartirdges Enviro-Clean® cartridges are designed for use by analysts that demand a clean, dependable and rugged product for low level environmental analyses. Universal C18 is used for the extraction of pesticides, herbicides and PCBs, etc.Part # ECUNIC18

These sorbents are composed of a silica backbone bonded with hydrocarbon chains. They are used to extract compounds, which exhibit non-polar or neutral characteristics, from complex matrices. The C18 phase is the most popular phase.  UCT offers a range of hydrocarbon chain lengths from C2 to C30. In addition, we offer isobutyl, tertbutyl, phenyl, and cyclohexyl bonded phases.
