Southern Labware is now carrying GroMax™ Baffled Deepwell Microplates from Microbio. These plates are typically used for culture growth and the GroMax™ Baffled Deepwell Microplates are able to produce up to 60% extra yield over standard deep well plates. The increase in yield compared to a traditional block plate allows for increased recombinant protein production which effectively decreases the scale-up volume requirements. This makes protein expression microscreening and scale-up in E. coli more cost efficient. The GroMax™ Baffled Deepwell Microplates come with many different useful features. These plates increase mixing, aeration, and culture production. There is decreased incubation time, high throughput and reproducible results. The plates also feature high chemical and temperature resistance, raised wells for effective sealing, and precision molded virgin medical grade polypropylene. The GroMax™ brand of baffled microplates (patent pending) is the next evolution in the micro-fermentation. We used 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics to optimize the baffle form and create the greatest surface area to volume oxygen exposure. The continuous cycling aerates the bacterial media and provides a superior growth environment resulting in the proliferation of cells. Culture Growth Each well has four (4) equally spaced baffles Increased Mixing and Aeration Increased Culture Density Decrease Incubation Time High Throughput, Reproducible Results Free from Dnase, Rnase, DNA and Detectable PCR Inhibitors

A new line of products from MicronPlus has been added to the website for purchase! Southern
Labware is now carrying pattern adhesive sealing films and silicone mats for microplates! What
makes the sealing products from MicronPlus special is that due to their adhesive-free well
coverage they are designed specifically for the elimination of clogging and contamination of
needles as well as prevention of particulate generation and cross-contamination. These sealing
films offer the best optical clarity for inspection and diagnostic applications. Fluorescence is
detectable through the film surface as there is no adhesive interference over the wells.

MicronPlus Sealing Films do not require HEAT to adhere to the surface of the microplates, so no need for a microplate heat sealer. These seal films are made with the highest quality Teflon and the most robust chemical and temperature resistant color adhesives. They are available in 96 Round, 96 Square and 384-well formats. These sealing films have superior performance in comparison to sealing films from other brands, and they offer many features that make them stand out from their competitors. Some of these features include: adhesive-free well coverage, perfect performance for PCR applications, Auto-samplers and long term cold temperature storage applications, no cross contamination or evaporation, RNase-DNase Free,  outstanding resistance to the following solvents.10% MEOH in H2O 5% Sulfuric Acid in H2O DCM 90% ETOH in H2O 5% Nitric Acid in H2O Dioxane 90% IPOH in H2O 5% NaOH in H2O MeOH:DCM 90% Acetonitrile in H2O 100% DMSO THF 50% MTBE in H2O 50% DMSO in H2O Toluene 10% Acetic Acid in H2O Chloroform Ethyl Acetate 5% HCL in H2O.

Another advantage of MicronPlus seal films is having the option of Pre-Slit cross-cut in the center of each well. The pre-slit Cross-cut center improves performance with autosamplers and liquid handlers by eliminating the force needed to pierce the sealing film, thus enabling sample retrieval or additions to the plate well using plastic pipette tips. These pre-slit center cut sealing films are available in 96 Round, 96 Square and 384-well formats. All these formats are also available in roll format for automation.

Replacing difficult-to-use dimpled mats, this dimple-free mat manufactured from 10 mil medical grade transparent Silicone with Adhesive-Free well coverage bonds firmly to the microplate, permits precise withdrawal and injection of liquid, and reseals after multiple needle injections.   Being optically transparent above the wells, these mats can be used for qPCR testing.  These mats are an ideal cover for multiple steps: qPCR, PCR testing followed by aspiration and reseal. End product of PCR is a homogenous, highly concentrated solution of the desired DNA sequence. Products can then be run on a gel, sequenced, or used for further experiments. These mats show superior performance for cell culture gas permeability for Oxygen and CO2 as they eliminate edge effect; cell count reveals no apparent difference in cell count between central and peripheral wells. These mats are available in 96 Round, 96 Square and 384-well formats as well as roll format for automation.

Southern Labware has added NEST’s treated and non-treated cell culture inserts to their product line. Southern Labware is a distributor of NEST products, meaning their products can be purchased directly through the Southern Labware website. Cell culture inserts are an essential tool for the study of both anchorage-dependent and independent cell lines. This product is widely used in drug transport experiments, cell migration and cell invasion experiments or used for in vitro analysis. This product is able to produce a cell culture environment that closely resembles an in vivo state. Polarized cells are able to carry out metabolic activities more naturally. NEST’s cell culture inserts have an innovative edge design allowing for more convenient sampling and great insertion versatility which can be matched with multiple brands. These cell culture inserts have a polycarbonate membrane which gives a lower absorption rate and effectively reduces the loss of small molecules and other compounds. The membrane materials of this product have passed the SUP Vi-grade toxicity tests and are used for the field of medical devices. Use NEST’s Cell Culture Inserts for all of your co-culture, epithelial cell polarity, migration, invasion, transport and permeability studies.
