AbsorbMax sealing films are 203 µm thick black vinyl films with 37 µm acrylic adhesive for use with 96-well, 384-well, and 1536-well black microplates. The sealing films may be applied to either the top or bottom of the plate. A split backing aids in applying the sealing film properly. Edge cutouts assist in positioning and accommodate ribs on the plate bottom. The light-blocking and absorbing properties of AbsorbMax sealing films make them ideal for protecting light-sensitive samples during storage. In fluorescence applications they reduce stray light and well-to-well crosstalk.
For top-reading fluorescence applications, apply the black sealing film to the plate bottom with clear-bottom wells.
For bottom-reading fluorescence, use the black sealing film as a top seal. Dimensions: 76.2 by 114.3 mm.
AbsorbMax sealing films will fit within the rim of raised-rim plates. Recommended temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C.

These optically clear polyester films are ideally suited for Real Time PCR (qPCR). They feature an inert, ultra-clear, and strong encapsulated silicone adhesive that provides extraordinary performance in real-time PCR applications.
Encapsulated silicone greatly reduces the risk of sample contamination due to exposure to adhesive. Once the film is pressed onto the plate, the raised portion of the well penetrates the encapsulation and a tight seal is formed on just that surface (not over the sample). This silicone seal adheres aggressively and diminishes the possibility of "Edge Effect".
The plasticized backing of this film is scored on both ends to allow for two handed (precise) placement on the plate. Both film and adhesive maintain incredible clarity and are the choice for highly demanding manual and automated processes.
Certified free of RNase, DNase, Pyrogen, and nucleic-acid contamination.

STR-SEAL-PLT alternative is GPS-PP-100.
PP-100 substrate is polypropylene instead of polyester for the STR-SEAL-PLT. GPS-PP-100 is designed for the same application – ELISA/Incubation/General Storage.
100-SEAL-PLT alternative is TTS-100.
XTR-100 and XTR-LG-100 alternatives are XTR2-100 & XTR2-LG-100.
ELISA, Incubation, and Short Term Incubation Sealing Films
All films on this page are designed for ELISA, Incubation, and Short Term Incubation Sealing Films. If you are looking for something specific please consult our selection guides by attribute or application on this page. All films are certified DNase- & RNase-Free.
Specific film descriptions:
1x8 MiniStrips (GP-CS1X8-400 and GPS-CS1X8-400) are less expensive than full-size sheets when using only a partial plate. Designed for use with either 1x8 strip-well ELISA plates or standard 96-well plates where rows must be selectively protected or accessed. Ideal for COVID-19 testing to seal a row of 8 wells after swabs are deposited into a deep-well plate.
General Purpose (GP-PP-100 and GPS-PP-100) polypropylene lms oer superior barrier properties to minimize evaporation and prevent well-to-well contamination. Ideal for use with polypropylene plates.
Pre-scored lm (SP2-RL-500) on a roll is a more economical and ecient alternative to rapidly seal microplates or racked test tubes; faster than applying single sheeted lm. Self-standing, non-slip supports hold the pre-scored lm roll securely in place for quick and easy bench- top dispensement. The roll unwind tension can be easily adjusted to user preference. Continuous backing liner can be torn o or fed directly into a waste basket for disposal.
The SealMate SealPlate Starter Kit (SM-KIT-SP and replacement rolls) features a re-usable dispenser and two rolls of perforated lm. The dispenser facilitates the quick and easy dispensing of lm from a roll allowing microplates to be sealed three times faster than using sheeted lms. Cost-eective replacement rolls are sold separately. Ideal for use under the hood; the SealMate dispenser minimizes lm contamination.
SealPla te (100-SEAL-PLT and STR-SEAL-PLT) minimizes evaporation, prevents well-to-well contamination and spillage. Eliminates the edge eect which can occur with plate lids (e.g. greater evaporation in the outside plate wells).
SealPlate Color Tabs (SP-IDx-100) Each end-tab features a colored dot and white writing area. An inscribed color-coded end-tab can be removed and pasted into a laboratory notebook while the other remains on the plate for identication. The lm sheet can be removed from the plate without disturbing the identication label due to the nely perforated end-tabs. Choose from 5 dierent individual colors or the assortment pack.
SealPlate 2x8 MiniStrips (SP-2X8-50 and SPS-2X8-50) are less expensive than full-size sheets when using only a partial plate. Designed for use with either 1x8 strip- well ELISA plates or standard 96-well plates where rows must be selectively protected or accessed.
ThinSeal (100-THIN-PLT and STR-THIN-PLT) minimizes evaporation, prevents well-to-well contamination and spillage.
ValueSeal (SP-VS-100) features smaller dimensions and a single non-perforated end-tab to provide a more cost-eective alternative to protect samples from evaporation, external contamination, dust and particulates.
