Petri Dish Plate Stickers

PetriStickers allow for petri dishes to be labeled quickly, neatly and reliably. Made with water-resistant ink, substrate and adhesives and will remain firmly attached at temperatures from 42° to 4°C. Simply remove the label's protective backing and apply it to the back of a petri dish. After labeling, the dish can be held in a comfortable position for streaking or colony transfer, stored in an incubator or refrigerator, and photographed.

PetriSeal™ Sealing Film

PetriSeal™ stretches and conforms to form a tight seal and is temperature resistant, waterproof and chemically resistant. It resists abrasion and puncture and blocks vapor loss while reducing the rate of gas exchange. Use PetriSeal™ with microtiter plates, Petri dishes and culture plates to prevent to entry of contaminants. The seal remains flexible down to -30°C and can withstand continuous exposure from -40°C to +77°C (with intermittent exposure up to 100°C). Tests have shown that PetriSeal™ leaves no adhesive residue even after two years.

PurePlus® Deep Well Plates

Labcon’s PurePlus® Deep Well Plates are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of RNase, DNase, ATP, and endotoxins. With our in-house microbiology lab, consistency is a top priority.

Available in sterile and non-sterile formats, these plates fit most popular instruments and can be sealed with sealing films or reusable silicone mats. Barcoding is available for both 1.2 mL and 2.2 mL plates by special order.

Ultra Clean & Ultra Clear 

PurePlus® plates feature molded-in orientation and permanent printed locating grids for ease of use. They are available in multiple formats: 96 well square hole with conical or flat bottom, 96 well round hole with round bottom, and 384 well square hole.

With volumes ranging from 0.2 mL to 2.5 mL, our plates are offered in non-sterile and validated medical-grade sterile versions, sterilized to an SAL of 10^-6 in compliance with ISO 11137.

The 1.2 mL and 2.2 mL volumes include three-sided alpha-numeric labeling grids, and their smooth interior surfaces ensure efficient pipetting. Designed for manual or robotic handling, these plates are SBS formatted for compatibility with automated systems.

Hoefer® Standard and Preparative Combs for Mini Vertical Systems

Compatible with SE300 MiniVE, SE260, and the SE250 Series Vertical Electrophoresis Systems.

Precision machined from Teflon®, which is highly resistant to acids, bases, and all commonly used buffer systems. An important benefit of Teflon® combs, compared to other types, is that they are easily removed while maintaining gel integrity. They are lightweight and virtually unbreakable when used with reasonable care. Some combs have microtiter spacing for use with multi-channel pipettes. (See Specifications.)

Standard Combs come attached to a standard back, which produces maximum well depths of 25 mm, except for the 28-well combs, which produce well depths of 15 mm.

• 9- and 18-well Standard Combs have microtiter spacing for use with multichannel pipettes.
• Preparative Combs have adjustable comb backs (10, 15, and 25 mm depth) and form 1 large preparative well plus 1 or 2 small reference wells.

Lab Armor® Bead Bath

Bead Baths from Lab Armor® are designed with the user in mind and are optimized to work with Lab Armor® Bath Beads. Bead Bath performs all the essentials, including warming, thawing, incubating, chilling and does so while maintaining a constant temperature just like a water bath. These baths deliver exceptional temperature uniformity up to 80°C. The baths are available in 6 L, 14 L, and 20 L sizes, with and without beads included. 

• Uniform Temperatures
• With Bead Bath designed specifically for beads, temperatures are consistent and uniform everywhere in the bath. Thermal uniformity is an amazing ±5 °C at 37 °C and ± 1 °C at 65 °C. Since Bead Bath won't boil off like water, or pose danger of combustion like oil, it is ideal for most applications from 37°C to 400 °C.
• Fast Start
• Bead Bath gets up and running faster and you never need to turn it off. There is nothing to evaporate. Unlike a standard bead-filled water bath, Bead Bath allows you to achieve a new set temperature quickly, without long warm up delays, so you can make quick adjustments.
• Stays Organized
• Unlike water baths that require racks, floats and bottleneck weights, Bead Bath naturally holds things in place without accessories. The types and kinds of vessels that can be used with the Bead Bath aren't limited to water-tight containers. So you can safely incubate multiwall plates and petri dishes-or thaw samples without fear of water wicking under the lids. And vessels can be set into the beads at any angle for better thermal optimization.
• Low Maintenance
• Water baths must be routinely monitored, cleaned and maintained. While it is a good idea to keep an eye on Bead Bath, it rarely needs attention. A bi-weekly or monthly spritz of a biodegradable disinfectant is usually sufficient.

Hoefer® Standard Format Glass Plates for Vertical Systems

Standard format glass plates are for SE660, SE600X Chroma, SE600, SE640, SE410, and SE400 Vertical Gel Electrophoresis Units.

Run as many as four 0.75, 1.0, or 1.5 mm thick gels on SE600 Series units and two gels on the SE400 Series at one time under identical conditions using the double gel capacity Divider Plates. Insert a divider plate between the glass plates that make up a single gel sandwich. Place spacers on each side of the divider plate to form two gel cavities for pouring gels. This two gel “club sandwich” fits into the same casting stand and seals perfectly.
