PELCO Prep-Eze™ Microwave-use
Specimen Holders & Staining Nets

PELCO Prep-Eze™ Holders

The PELCO Prep-Eze™ Holder accomodates processing 6-12 specimen batches. The unique design provides simpler handling and reduction in the volume of chemicals needed. The PELCO Prep-Eze™ fits with the 36135 Polypropylene Petri Dishes.

The outside dimensions of the holders are: 50.8mm diameter x 19mm High (44.5mm High with handle), (2" dia. x 0.75" H [1.75" H with handle]).

No. 36157-1 has 6 wells, 12.7mm diameter x 17mm deep (.5" dia. x .67" D).
No. 36158-1 has 12 wells, 9.5mm diameter x 17mm deep (.375" dia. x .67" D).
The mesh openings are 420µm.
The small hole can be used to hold the temperature probe for specimen level temperature control.

Polypropylene Petri Dishes

Polypropylene Petri Dishes are microwave transparent and sturdy. These dishes can be coupled with the PELCO Prep-Eze™ Specimen Holders for microwave processing.

Bottom inside dimensions: 50mm dia. x 12mm deep
Lid inside dimensions: 56mm dia. x 10mm deep

NEW PELCO Prep-Eze™ Specimen Dishes

The PELCO Prep-Eze™ Specimen Dish Kits come with a rectangular polypropylene tray that have 6, 12, or 24 wells which fit 6, 1.5, or 0.5mL polyethylene specimen dishes respectively. They can be used for many steps of specimen processing, staining, and fixation. The unique design provides simpler handling, reduction in the volume of chemicals needed, and separation of samples from one another. As such, they are particularly useful for the labeling of free-floating sections, on the bench or in the microwave.

The removable dishes allows for any number of specimen dishes to be used at a given time depending on the number of samples to be processed. Once processing is completed, used specimen dishes can be discarded and replaced (specimen dish refills available).

The Specimen Dish Kits may only be chemically sterilized. All components are suitable for use in microwave processing.

PELCO Prep-Eze™ Wellplate Inserts

The rectangular polypropylene Wellplate Inserts have 6, 12, or 24 wells and will fit into the Corning Costar^® Tissue Culture Plates of 6/12/24 Wellplate design. A 420µm opening, polypropylene mesh is at the bottom of each of the insert wells.

The Wellplate Inserts may only be chemically sterilized.

The outside dimensions of the Wellplate Inserts are: 81.3mm W x 123.5mm L x 24mm H (3.2" W x 4.86" L x 0.88" H)

Well dim. of 6-wellplate inserts: 24.1mm dia x 22.3mm D (0.95" dia x 0.88" D)
Well dim. of 12-wellplate inserts: 14.2mm dia x 22.3mm D (0.56" dia x 0.88" D)
Well dim. of 24-wellplate inserts: 11.2mm dia x 22.3mm D (0.44" dia x 0.88" D)
Depth of well from top to bottom on all Wellplate Inserts: 17.68mm (0.696")

Corning Costar^® Tissue Culture Plates

Tissue Culture-treated Plates are designed for a wide range of applications including general cell growth experiments, cloning studies, virus isolation and in vitro testing.

Plate bottoms have a uniform thickness, allowing for distortion-free observation. Alphanumeric coordinates are placed on the same focal plane as cell growth, for convenient referencing of cell position. Gripping edges make handling easier.

All plates have non-reversible covers with condensation rings to minimize evaporation and the risk of contamination.

Plates are made of optically clear, medical-grade non-pyrogenic polystyrene, TC-treated, sterile and are used for processing of tissue on the bench or in the microwave. The corresponding Wellplate Inserts are No. 36168 for the 6 cavity, No. 36170 for the 12 cavity, and No. 36172 for the 24 cavity.

SecureSeal™ Sealing Film

SecureSeal™ is a thermal adhesive sealing film which consists of 2.0 mil polyolefin film coated on one side with pressure sensitive acrylate adhesive. Designed to reduce spill-over and well to well contamination in tissue culture plates, SecureSeal™ also minimizes evaporation and vapor loss for PCR applications.

This film has low autofluorescence and is functional from -70°C to +100°C. Certified RNase, DNase and DNA-free; DMSO resistant. Available in sterile and non-sterile packages.

Amplate™ Roller

Roller made of medium hard rubber secured in a heavy duty handle.

Manufactured with a comfort grip to assist in creating a perfect seal when used with SecureSeal™ Sealing Film.
