AlumaSeal® 384™ and 96™ Aluminum Foil Seal

Easy-to-pierce Aluminum Foil Seal for Direct Sample Recovery.

AlumaSeal® 96™ provides a secure seal for 96-well raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates to minimize evaporation, reduce cross-contamination and prevent spillage. 

• Certified DNase- & RNase- free
• Ideal for use with 384-well and deep-well plates (or select AlumaSeal® 96™ for smaller cut for raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates.)
• Features one end-tab with no perforation
• Pierceable with a pipet tip or robotic probe for direct sample recovery
• Large cut allows for easier positioning of the foil to the plate via edge of plate alignment vs. centering
• Available in roll format for automation: AlumaSeal® Roll-Seal, 80 mm x 100 mm

• PCR
• Long-term storage
• Light sensitive assays
• Robotics

• -80°C to +120°C

• End-tab removal before thermal cycling is highly recommended
• Remove diagonally from a corner to prevent tearing
• 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

Designed to Facilitate Air and CO2 Exchange.

Designed to Facilitate Air and CO2 Exchange. AeraSeal™ features a hydrophobic, gas permeable membrane with a medical grade, non-cytotoxic adhesive. The porous membrane consists of layers of heat welded rayon fibers.

• Pore size from 10 uM to 50 uM
• Moisture vapor transmission rate = 4,200 g/m²/24 hr
• Easy-to-pierce with serological pipets and pipet tips for direct sample recovery
• Available in roll format for automation: AeraSeal™ Roll-Seal

SealPlate® SealMate™ Rolls

For Fast and Efficient Microplate Sealing. The SealMate SealPlate 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.

• Environmentally friendly; no paper liner to remove and discard; utilizes approximately 72% less material than SealPlate sheeted film
• Each sheet is separated by an adhesive-free, perforated, color-coded green band
• The smooth lower surface of the dispenser can be used to seal the film to the plate
• Dispenser protects unused seals from contamination
• Lower support prop prevents dispensing bill from contacting surfaces to prevent contamination
• Replacement rolls can be easily installed by releasing the locking clasps on the dispenser

• General laboratory use
• Short-term storage
• Incubation
• ELISA

• -40°C to +120°C

General Purpose Sealing Film

• Certified DNase- & RNase- free
• Features good chemical resistance
• Provides a very secure seal to minimize evaporation, but is slightly harder to remove than SealPlate films
• Less rigid polypropylene film reduces aerosols upon removal
• Specially formulated adhesive minimizes plate residue
• Can be used as a temporary seal while awaiting further processing

SealPlate® Sealing Film

Industry Standard for Sample Protection.
 
SealPlate® minimizes evaporation, prevents well-to-well contamination and spillage. Eliminates the “edge effect” which can occur with plate lids (e.g. greater evaporation in the outside plate wells).

• Provides a secure seal and is easy to remove
• Rigid polyester film features good clarity and easy handling
• Can be used as a temporary economical seal while awaiting further processing
• Features two end-tabs with perforations

eXTReme™ Seal Extra Strong Sealing Film

eXTReme™ Seal features an extra-strong thick adhesive to minimize evaporation, yet removes easily without leaving residue on the plate.

Features chamfered corners to eliminate plate overhang for robotics applications and tight storage conditions.

• Certified DNase- & RNase- free
• Ideal for use with raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates
• Available in a larger cut for flat-top semi-skirted and full-skirted PCR plates: eXTReme™ Seal, Large

Application

• PCR
• Robotics

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

ILP Clear Zone™ and Indexed Sealing Film

• Pre-slit “x” wells allow for in-process access of wells without damage to film
• 2-end tabs and a white colored insert with 96 clear rings assist in film alignment
• Easy to peel 

Indexed Seal Pre-Slit Sealing Film

Clear, pre-slit, and printed wells; designed for in-process sample access.

Applications: Sample protection while processing, automation with pipette tips, and sample indexing

• Reduce pipetting errors with easy-to-read well indexing
• Ideal for protecting samples on the benchtop while working with the plate, especially for manual procedures
• Easy in-process access and well-indexed labeling 

Clear Zone™ Pre-Slit Sealing Film, 96 well PP

Clear with no adhesive over well areas and designed for in-process sample access with probes and reuse automation.

Applications: Sample protection while processing, autosamplers, automation with probes or needles

• Best choice for automation; Ideal for protecting samples while in process
• Adhesive-free well areas reduce potential contact with samples and the risk of fouling probes/needles
