Clean room production

 

BILATEC plastic disposable products are manufactured under clean room conditions according to latest guidelines (class 100,000 and 10,000 after GMP standard).

 

Highly qualified personnel, high availability of the production plant, most modern mechanical engineering for highest precision as well as security by separate manufacturing plants are a guarantor for short response times and flexibility. The manufacturing plant is certified ISO 9000.

 

A good entrance to injection moulding manufactures enables a fast realization of projects into all plastic ranges.

 

 

NCC (Non Cross Contamination) Technology (see also NCC)

 

The high sensitivity of PCR means that cross contamination is a problem to solve. BILATEC offers a patented alternative sealing method by avoiding aerosol contamination in microplates and tubes. The NCC technology as a system as been developed for both manual and automated implementation in research and everday lab work (RoboAMP 4200, MWG Biotech AG).

 

 

Quality control

 

The THERMOSPRINT® and NCC of products fulfill all requirements to a reliable plastic disposable. The increased use of the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) in hospital and research requires new purity criteria, which are examined with the THERMOSPRINT® products by most exact quality controls.

 

Quality requirements

 

DNAse/RNAse free: smallest quantities of DNA, which are used for the attempts, must be protected against DNAse and RNAse

 

PCR-Inhibitoren free: all disposables, which come into contact with PCR solution, must be free of PCR inhibitors

 

Human DNA free: plastic disposables must be free of nucleic acids, i.e. it must be guaranteed that during the manufacturing process there is no contamination with human DNA

 

Thermo-transfer

 

Extremely thin walled reaction tubes (£ 0,3 mm) guarantee an excellent thermo-transfer for a better and more reliable PCR.

 

 

Evaporation of THERMOSPRINTâ 96 plates with different sealings

 

PCR plates with different sealing methods are checked permanently by BILATEC quality control.

 

See illustration of evaporation of the THERMOSRPINTâ 96-well plates

 

 

Evaporation

 

Independent from sealing method, wall thickness of the reaction container and used plastic type a fundamental steam permeability is to be expected.

 

Based on the data of the BASF, the permeability of a 100µ foil from PP for water vapour at 80°C is approx. 310g/m2/24h. Assuming a linear dependence of this permeability the following can be calculated:

 

With an average well thickness of a tube of approx. 280 µm (corresponds to the well thickness of the THERMOSPRINTâ plate) a steam permeability is to be expected from 110,7g/m2/24h.

 

Experience values show that injection moulding components due to pronounced amorphous character exhibited 80% of the steam permeability in comparison with foils. That would correspond to 88,6g/m2/24h and/or 172.8 mg their total loss per 96-well-plate/30 cycles.

 

Evaporation per well during the cycle process lies with approx. 0.05 mg/tube/cycle.

 

Lower evaporation could be achieved by reduction of the number of cycles and/or by reduction of the cycle times.

 

Steptavidine-coating

 

THERMOSPRINTâ plates (MTP/96-well/384-well) are also available with streptavidine coating.
