Key Applications

Sealing FilmsBrandTech® 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.

BRAND® Life ScienceBrandTech® Scientific offers high quality laboratory plastics and liquid handling devices manufactured by BRAND®. Based in Germany, BRAND® has one of the largest cleanroom facilities in the world for the production of life science products. Whether you are a geneticist, cell biologist, cancer researcher, or other life science specialist you need reliable, high quality research tools to obtain consistent, high quality research outcomes. With BrandTech® Scientific as your trusted life science partner, you can expect disposable plastics free from contaminants and leachables, and liquid handling devices that will perform with precision and dependability.

With so much at stake, why trust anyone but the best to provide you with the appropriate lab tools?

Microplates BRAND® has applied its decades of experience in premium quality molding to the production of 96-, 384-, and 1536-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.

• HandyStep® touch & HandyStep® S Repeating Pipettes

• Pipette Controllers—accu-jet® pro & macroTM

• BRAND® Pipette Tips, Bulk & Racked

• BVC Fluid Aspiration Systems

Liquid Handling Station Pipetting RobotsThe BRAND® Liquid Handling Station (LHS) and LHS Flow with integrated HEPA filtration pipetting robots 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 6 available liquid ends with single and multi-channel volumes up to 1000 µL. This flexible and intuitive system moves liquids between tubes, plates, and reservoirs and are great for plate reformatting, setting up ELISA’s, cherry picking or designing liquid handling methods for larger pieces of automated equipment. With extremely easy-to-use software, methods are created with ease!
