FoilSeal™
- Certified DNase- & RNase- free
- Pierceable with a pipet tip or robotic probe for direct sample recovery
- 2.0mil aluminum foil removes easily without shredding or tearing
- The conformable nature of foil allows for the visual verification of the seal’s security around each well
- Not recommended for long-term storage
- Remove diagonally from a corner to prevent tearing
ThermalSeal® RTS™ Optically Clear, Pressure Activated, Non-tacky Silicone Adhesive
The silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressure is applied to the sealing surface which then creates a secure bond around the wells and perimeter of the plate. Also ideal for dry samples (e.g. soil, seeds, insects, etc.) because the non-activated adhesive above the wells remains non-tacky. A roller or sealing paddle is highly recommended for use with this product to ensure consistent and adequate pressure is applied during the sealing process.
- Provides an extremely strong seal to minimize evaporation
- Certified DNase- & RNase- free
- Chemically resistant to DMSO, acetonitrile, and methanol
- Ideal for use with flat-top, raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates
- High optical clarity and low auto-fluorescence
- Available in roll format for automation: ThermalSeal® RTS™ Roll-Seal
- A complimentary sealing paddle is included in each box
Applications
- qPCR
- Long-term storage
- Protein crystallography
- HPLC
- -80°C to +105°C
Helpful Tips
- Sufficient pressure must be applied to activate the silicone adhesive
- Multiple swipes of the sealing paddle in both directions is highly recommended
- A 10 minute or greater wait period before thermal cycling increases the film-to-plate bond

- Not recommended for removal after thermal cycling
Application
- qPCR
- -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
Zone-Free™
Zone-Free is a multilayer film consisting of a top pierceable clear polyethylene film and a white polypropylene sublayer with 96 circular areas void of adhesive.
- Pierceable
- Offers excellent chemical resistance
- Samples have minimal contact with adhesive due to the adhesive-free zones

1 x 8 FilmStrips™ for Sealing Only One 8-well Row of a 96-well Plate
Designed for use with either 1×8 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.- Certified DNase- & RNase- free
- A pliable polypropylene film minimizes aerosols upon removal
- Each sheet contains 8 strips on a continuous liner for ease of use
- Apply individually or two-at-a-time
- Use as a secondary film to seal previously pierced wells or to prevent accidental pipetting
- General laboratory use
- Incubation
- ELISA
- -40°C to +120°C
Adhesive Sealing Film, Polyolefin
These 2.8 mL, 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.

The Rotocycler 72 facilitates the handling and insertion of caps on the tubes by offering a special solid aluminum loading rack. This rack can hold up to 18 x 0.1 mL tube strips for a total of 72 tubes. Other cavities can hold larger reaction tubes. To keep reactions cool during setup, simply place the rack in a refrigerated area. For easy reference, all wells are numbered. Color coding is made possible by inserting a Capinsert in up to two locations on the rack.
Includes: Rotocycler 72 and 500 assorted color coding inserts
