Soft, Extra Thick, Conformable Adhesive
ThermalSeal® 2™ and ThermalSeal® Advanced Sealing Film
ThermalSeal® 2™ and ThermalSeal® Advanced feature a soft, extra thick, conformable adhesive that forms a very strong seal around raised wells to minimize evaporation and cross-contamination.
- Certified DNase- & RNase- free
- Ideal for use with flat-top, semi-skirted and full-skirted PCR plates
- Compatible with hard-shell dual component (e.g. polycarbonate/polypropylene) PCR plates
- Large cut allows for easier positioning of the film to the plate via edge of plate alignment vs. centering
- Available in a smaller cut for raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates: ThermalSeal® Advanced
Application
- PCR
Temperature Range
- -40°C to +120°C
Helpful Tips
- Selection of the proper film size will minimize evaporation
- The film should not overhang or ride up the wall of a raised-rim plate
- More complete coverage of skirted flat-top plates will reduce evaporation in the outer wells
- End-tab removal before thermal cycling is highly recommended
Adhesive Sealing Films
Soft and impermeable aluminum sealing foils with medical grade acrylic adhesive. Once applied, the seal adheres aggressively, forming a tight positive seal preventing evaporation of VOCs, sample loss in storage, drying, cross contamination, and reducing the risk of aerosols and pathogens venting.
- Suitable for sealing all standard PCR plates, micro plates, and deep well blocks.
- Perfect for light sensitive samples
- Easily pierced with single or multi-channel pipettors and probes
- Withstands long term storage down to -80°C
- Single tabbed backing paper removes easily; aluminum sheet resist rolling back.

For Re-sealability and Easy Access Without Pipet Tip Coring
X-Pierce™ Sealing Films for Re-sealability and Easy Access Without Pipet Tip Coring or Adhesive Fouling
X-Pierce™ film is designed for short-term processing and storage of samples that require multiple access to wells by pipet tips or robotic probes.A pre-cut “X” over each well creates bendable flaps that provide sample access without coring or adhesive fouling of tips or probes. Ideal for COVID-19 sample collection in deep-well plates using swabs.
- Pierceable
- Printed circles aid in the alignment of the film to the plate
- Printed alphanumerics identify each well of a 96-well plate
- Reseals after piercing for continued sample protection
Helpful Tips
- To help position the film to the plate, align wells A-1 and H-12
Applications
- Short-term processing and storage at ambient temperatures
- Robotics
Temperature Range
- -40°C to +90°C
Starter Kits and Refills
AeraSeal™ SealMate™ Rolls for Fast and Efficient Microplate Sealing
The AeraSeal™ SealMate™ Starter Kit features a re-usable dispenser and two rolls of perforated film.
The dispenser facilitates the quick and easy dispensing of film from a roll allowing microplates to be sealed three times faster than using sheeted films. Cost-effective replacement rolls are sold separately. Ideal for use under the hood; the SealMate™ dispenser minimizes film contamination.
