HyperStretch™ Sealing Film

HyperStretch™ is a transparent, paraffin-based sealing film that conforms to almost any surface and securely seals a wide range of lab vessels, including tubes, flasks, dishes, bottles, and beakers.

Made from a proprietary, latex-free blend of paraffin and polyolefins, it forms a strong yet flexible moisture barrier that protects samples while allowing the exchange of water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide for safe off-gassing.

Stretchable and self-adhering, HyperStretch™ performs reliably at both low temperatures, including liquid nitrogen (LN₂), and elevated temperatures, creating an exceptionally tight, liquid-proof and airtight seal.

SureStrain Premium Cell Strainers - 5 New Pore Sizes

SureStrain™ Premium Cell Strainers provide a fast, efficient way to detach, isolate, and filter cells from clusters and tissues prior to flow cytometry.

A durable polypropylene frame supports a nylon mesh available in eight color-coded pore sizes from 5 µm to 100 µm, including five new finer options for enhanced control of cell aggregate and clump filtration.

The advanced frame design eliminates the “air-lock” effect, improving aeration and flow-through speed. As air escapes during filtration, spillover is reduced and processing time is minimized.

Features:

  • Eight pore sizes for precise cell separation
  • Advanced design for faster flow-through
  • Adapter included for tubes smaller than 50 mL
  • Compatible with 6-well plates
  • Interlocking and stackable design
  • 1.5 mm feet for use with flat plates and dishes
  • Sterile, individually blister packaged
  • RNase-, DNase-, pyrogen-, and cytotoxin-free

Magnetic Bead Separation Rack  

MTC Bio’s reversible magnetic separation rack is designed for low-throughput, bead-based nucleic acid purification. Its innovative flip-over design and double-sided magnets enable separation in either 8 × 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes or 16 × 0.2 mL PCR tubes, while maintaining a compact 3.75 × 1.75 × 1.5 in. footprint.

Ultra-strong magnets deliver a pull strength of 5000 g and a field strength exceeding 5000 gauss for rapid, efficient separation. Tube wells are angled at 10° for optimal magnetic contact, and microtube wells include adapter rings to fine-tune tube height within the magnetic field. A removable magnet sleeve allows quick resuspension without removing tubes from the rack.

Features:

  • Flip-over design for microtubes or PCR tubes
  • Powerful magnets for fast, efficient separation
  • Removable magnet sleeve for easy resuspension
  • Adapter rings for adjustable tube height

Microinjection Pipette Tips  

These flexible microcapillary tips are designed for filling glass microinjection capillaries used in cell injection applications. They enable highly precise, bubble-free transfer of extremely small volumes and are commonly used to back-load solutions into glass Femtotips®.

With an ultra-fine 0.33 mm diameter, these tips are among the smallest available. Smaller diameters have been shown to improve cell viability and increase microinjection success rates.

Ideal for a range of molecular biology applications, including cloning, genetics, virology, and cell biology, the ultra-fine capillary end is also especially effective for gel loading. The tips are fully compatible with universal 2 µL and 10 µL pipettors and can also be used with 20 µL pipettors (manual tip removal required).

Features:

  • Fits universal 2 µL, 10 µL, and 20 µL pipettors
  • Ultra-fine microcapillary tip (0.5–20 µL capacity)
  • Compatible with Femtotips® and other glass capillaries

Femtotips® is a registered trademark of Calibre Scientific.
