BRAND has applied its decades of experience in premium quality molding to the production of 96-, 384-, and well microplates. BRANDplates are manufactured from the highest quality virgin resins. Available in a variety of different colors, well numbers and wells shapes, BRANDplates are designed to minimize cross contamination and ensure excellent sample recovery. Using proprietary treatments, BRANDplates feature several surface types for high throughput applications such as general assays, protein assays, cell culture assays and more. Additionally, BRANDplates are color coded for easy identification of surface treatment and well positioning, and follow ANSI-SLAS Standards 1-4, BrandTech Scientific offers high quality microplate sealing films for a wide variety of applications including storage, PCR, automation, ELISAs, and tissue culture. These films have unique features such as non-tacky adhesive and optically clear film material for accurate qpcr results; color coded films for plate and sample tracking; cut corners, piercable and partially resealable films for automation efficiency; and gas permeable sealing films for even gas exchange during tissue culture.

7 BRAND Liquid Handling No life science laboratory is fully equipped without tools for efficient liquid transfer. Sensitive samples like DNA, RNA, and cell lines need to be moved between tubes and plates, dishes and flasks, and handled in contaminant free zones such as tissue culture or PCR hoods. BRAND s Life Science portfolio also includes the highest quality robotic liquid handling system, single-, multi-channel, manual and electronic pipettes, pipette controllers, pipette tips, and fluid aspiration systems. Trust BrandTech Scientific and BRAND to be your life science partner. Transferpette S Single & Multi-Channel Pipettes HandyStep electronic & HandyStep S Repeating Pipettes Pipette Controllers accu-jet pro & macro TM BRAND Pipette Tips, Bulk & Racked BVC Fluid Aspiration Systems Life Science Products Liquid Handling Station The BRAND Liquid Handling Station (LHS) Pipetting Robot is designed for labs that want to increase productivity by reducing repetitive manual pipetting through the development of automated protocols. The LHS is extremely compact with 7 working positions and 5 available liquid ends with single channel volumes up to 1000µL and multichannel volumes up to 300µL. This flexible and intuitive system moves liquids between tubes, plates, and reservoirs and is great for plate reformatting, setting up ELISA s, cherry picking or designing liquid handling methods for larger pieces of automated equipment.
