Sterile microplates enhance growth of cell lines
Porvair Sciences offer a range of sterile, high volume microplates optimised for large scale, high yield growth of bacteria, yeast and mammalian or insect cell lines
Interchangable sample mounting blocks and spacer plates give the ThermalBond the flexibility to seal sample holders ranging from 384-well plates up to 2.0ml microtubes and deepwell plates.
The ThermalBond is very easy and quick-to-use requiring only one operation of the system to apply heat to the surface of the film, creating a fine melt with the coating of the tube/plate being sealed.
Designed such that no heat is transferred to the sample the ThermalBond ensures sample integrity and enhances throughput of samples to be sealed.
Rugged and robust in construction the ThermalBond ensures that sample holders remain perfectly flat providing even, consistent sealing time-after-time.
A durable PTFE coated heater plate allows easy and thorough removal of any surface build-up of sealing film.
Once sealed by the ThermalBond, sample containers will not leak or allow evaporation even under the most arduous of storage or transport conditions.
To access liquid samples after storage, the film/foil may be pierced and the sample simply removed with a pipette.
Alternatively, a removal key can be used to peel back the foil for complete sample removal. Request a free brochure from Porvair Sciences ...
