Low profile, 0.1 ml polypropylene wells, working volume: <100 µl, total well capacity: 200 µl; can be used as a standalone product or inserted in any of the Vari-Plate™ frames available for ease of handling

Low profile, 0.1 ml polypropylene wells, working volume: <100 µl, total well capacity: 200 µl; can be used as a standalone product or inserted in any of the Vari-Plate™ frames available for ease of handling.

These low profile PCR tube strips are moulded from virgin polypropylene under cleanroom conditions.

They are available in either clear polypropylene for standard PCR techniques, or in white polypropylene for use in fluorescent detection applications like qPCR, as they give the highest sensitivity and consistency as all the fluorescence signal is reflected back to the detector.

– Can be used as individual strips, or in a Vari-Plate™ frame for easier handling
– Low profile 0.1 ml (100 µl) working volume, with a 0.2 ml (200 µl) total well capacity when used with sealing options
– Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
– Raised well rims prevent cross contamination and facilitate effective sealing for reduced evaporation
– Vari-Strips™ available with clear well tubes or white well tubes – white well tubes giving the highest sensitivity and consistency for fluorescent detection during qPCR
– Compatible with standard multichannel pipettes
– Combi packs available with strips of 8 flat optical caps

IdentiTags are labels for use with standard strips and are simple to slide on. There’s enough room to label the experiment and/or use barcode stickers.

For tube strips with IdentiTag labels, please add /L to the end of the product code on your purchase order.

Alternatively, IdentiTags can be ordered separately with product code 4ti-0777.

Standard profile, 0.2 ml wells, clear polypropylene, working volume: <200 µl, total well capacity: 300 µl; suitable for all standard 0.2 ml block thermal cyclers.

These PCR tubes are moulded from virgin polypropylene in our UK-based Class 7 ISO certified cleanroom production facility, and comply to the same stringent requirements as our FrameStar® range.

They are recommended for low to medium throughput applications.

Standard profile, 0.2 ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame, working volume: <200 µl, total well capacity: 300 µl; available with either strips of domed or flat optical caps.

4titude®’s FrameStrip® PCR tube strips are a 2-component design, combining the advantages of thin-walled tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame portion for easy and reliable handling.

For the tubes we use polypropylene, which provides the most efficient heat transfer, as well as an inert surface with low binding capabilities for nucleic acids, proteins and other molecules.

By moulding the frame portion in a more rigid polymer, the mechanical stability of the strip has been greatly improved compared with traditional single piece products, as seen in the image opposite.

In contrast to standard tube strips, the FrameStrip® will remain straight and stable, even at elevated temperatures and when filled with liquid.

For colour coding of experiments, we offer the strips with clear wells in 5 frame colours – purple, blue, green, red, and black.

Additionally for optical assays such as those used in qPCR we supply strips with white wells in black frames, as white wells increase the signal-to-noise ratio by maximising reflection of light in fluorescent based assays.

FrameStrips® are available with either domed cap strips or with flat, optically clear caps and are compatible with the majority of thermal cyclers. End tabs allow for easy handling and labelling of the strips.

The products are also available with an off-the-shelf 2D code, offering an endless supply of unique code combinations. 4titude®’s hand held barcode reader together with the user-friendly software allows for reliable and convenient sample management. Fast and accurate reading is guaranteed via the built-in error correction with data redundancy.

Hand held barcode reader available, product code 4ti-4060

Clear polypropylene sealing caps, available as strips of 8 caps (domed or flat optical) and strips of 12 caps (flat optical).

Compatible with our tube strips and 96 well PCR plates. These strips are moulded from virgin polypropylene in our UK-based Class 7 ISO certified cleanroom production facility, and comply to the same stringent requirements as our FrameStar® range.

0.1 ml wells, clear polypropylene, with strips of 4 caps, working volume: <100 µl, total well capacity: 200 µl; designed for Qiagen / Corbett Rotor-Gene® instruments.

4titude® offers a range of PCR consumables for low to medium throughput applications. These PCR tubes and caps are moulded from virgin polypropylene to prevent any PCR background signal.

They are especially suited for use with Qiagen/Corbett Rotor-Gene® instruments.

Standard profile, 0.2 ml wells, polypropylene, working volume: <200 µl, total well capacity: 300 µl; with either flat or domed attached caps; also available with unique 2D coded flat caps.

These PCR tubes are moulded from virgin polypropylene in our UK-based Class 7 ISO certified cleanroom production facility, and comply to the same stringent requirements as our FrameStar® range.

They are recommended for low to medium throughput applications.

Our individual tubes with flat caps are also available with a unique 2D code applied to the top of each tube. This allows for clear labelling of tubes, despite the limited space available. Printed 2D codes allow for easy sample tracking and are more reliable than the use of adhesive stickers.

Our compact hand held barcode scanner, 4ti-4060, delivers the speed typical of laser scanners on any barcode, including both 1D and 2D codes.

Our individual tubes with flat caps (4ti-0790) are also available with unique 2D code applied to the top of each tube. The barcode is suitable for low temperature storage and high temperature thermal cycling. Simply use the product code 4ti-0790/2D when ordering.

Our hand held barcode reader (4ti-4060) together with the user-friendly software allows for reliable and convenient sample management.

Low profile 0.1 ml (working volume: <100 µl, total well capacity: 200 µl), clear polypropylene, with attached flat optically clear caps; and standard 0.2 ml (working volume: <200 µl, total well capacity: 300 µl) wells, clear polypropylene, with attached domed or flat optically clear caps.

These PCR tubes with attached caps are moulded from virgin polypropylene, comply to the same stringent requirements as our FrameStar® range and are free from RNase, DNase, and Human Genomic DNA.

They are recommended for low to medium throughput applications.

The tubes on each strip are joined together either by three links (flat cap variety – 4ti-0792 and 4ti-0793) or by one strong link (domed cap variety – 4ti-0794) to make the strip more rigid and help reduce any chance of spillage.

The tube strips can be easily separated by cutting the links, to make smaller sections or individual tubes.

The strips are available with either tethered flat optically clear caps or domed caps.

The flat optically clear caps enable light signals, such as fluorescence, to pass through without affecting the signal, and are suitable for imaging techniques including RT-qPCR.

Each cap is separately joined to a tube, making it impossible to either cross contaminate another tube with the wrong cap, or to lose a cap altogether.

IdentiTags are labels for use with standard strips and are simple to slide on. There’s enough room to label the experiment and/or use barcode stickers.
