qPCR: reduce evaporation and save money
- The optimized sealing performance of the Automated Roll Heat Sealer prevents reagent volume loss by evaporation
- Up to a fivefold reduction in the costs of sealing can be achieved when heat sealing with the Automated Roll Heat Sealer compared to using caps or adhesive seals
- Reliable qPCR results and significant reagent savings can be achieved by using Clear Heat Seal (4ti-0540) and Clear Weld Heat Seal (4ti-0573, particularly designed for hydrocyclers)
Cell assays and cell culture: increase cell viability and assay performance
- Heat sealing is the optimal method for cell based assay plates and cell culture plates
- It is a proven method for compound storage, particularly in protective gases such as Argon and CO₂
- Gas Permeable Heat Seal (4ti-0598) is the perfect choice for cell culture: allows for optimized gaseous exchange, whilst limiting evaporation
Sample storage: strongest resistance against organic solvents
- Essential requirements for long-term storage include maintaining sample integrity and minimizing the risks of sample degradation
- When applied using the Automated Microplate Heat Sealer, Foil Heat Seal (4ti-0535), Pierce Heat Seal (4ti-0530), and DMSO Resistant Peel Heat Seal (4ti-0585) demonstrate the highest performance in compound storage, drug screening and subsequent sample retrieval
- DMSO Resistant Peel Heat Seal is the first 100% DMSO resistant seal: pure DMSO can be stored at room temperature for 12 months with this seal with no deterioration of the seal quality
