Good science begins with observation
ViewPointTM tubes transition from clear to blue when exposed to cold temperatures. This multi-step and reversible thermochromic transition offers real-time temperature signaling to indicate fluctuations above and below 4 °C. At 5 °C and above, ViewPointTM tubes are clear and transparent. At 4 °C, ViewPointTM tubes transition to light blue and become slightly opaque.
At 0 °C, ViewPointTM tubes reach their full progressive transition to dark blue, are completely opaque, and provide protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light. Offered in 1.5 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL size tubes. Patents Pending.
REAL-TIME TEMPERATURE SIGNALING
Blue color transition begins at 4 °C with full dark blue signaling at 0 °C
PROTECTION FROM UV
When dark blue (0 °C) ViewPointTM tubes protect biomolecules, fluorophores, and chromophores from Ultraviolet (UV) light
HIGHER LEVEL OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Maintain desired temperature throughout experimentation
TESTED AND CERTIFIED SAFE FOR CELL CULTURE
Lot tested free of ATP, RNase, DNase, and Endotoxin. Testing includes Sperm Motility Assay (SMA) and Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA)
Real-Time Temperature Signaling
Tube transitions from clear to light blue at 4 °C
Optimize Incubation Time On Ice
CHILLING SAMPLES AND SOLVENTS ON ICE
A large number of protocols require chilled cells and/or chilled solvents. In these protocols samples and solutions are chilled for 30 minutes, 3 hours, or overnight. ViewPointTM signals that a sample is chilled to 0 - 4 °C. Efficient chilling reduces incubation time, saving researchers time in their workflow.
