AdvanceSeal™ Sealing Film

AdvanceSeal™ Sealing Film offers high-performance sealing solutions for laboratory microplates, designed for use with automated roll format heat seal applicators. Available in two configurations, pierceable foil heat seal and peelable transparent heat seal, this film is ideal for demanding applications such as PCR, compound storage, and high-throughput screening.

Pierceable Foil Heat Seal

Engineered for automated workflows, the pierceable foil heat seal delivers a hermetic seal that protects sample integrity by being highly impermeable to light, gas, and moisture. Its non-adhesive design ensures that no residue is left on pipette tips, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Key Features

• Pierceable with pipette tips or robotic probes
• Ideal for low-volume and sensitive samples
• Strong microbial barrier for sterile applications
• Excellent chemical resistance (e.g. DMSO)
• Free of detectable RNase, DNase, human DNA, PCR inhibitors, and endotoxins (PCR Certified) 

Peelable Transparent Heat Seal

The peelable transparent heat seal provides superior evaporation protection and is easily removed without leaving residue, making it suitable for workflows that require easy sample access post-processing.

Key Features

• Clear, peelable design allows for visual inspection of samples
• Easy removal without damaging the plate surface
• Effective in temperature ranges from -80°C to +105°C
• Compatible with polypropylene, polycarbonate/polypropylene, and polystyrene plates
• PCR Certified: Free of detectable DNase, RNase, and human DNA
• Compatible with leading heat sealers:
• Kbiosystems, Porvair®, Azenta, ThermoFisher®, Agilent PlateLoc™                            

Ideal For

• PCR and qPCR
• Sample storage (short- and long-term)
• Compound screening
• Automation and robotic systems

Storage Recommendation
 

For optimal shelf life and performance, store at 137°F ±10°F with 50% relative humidity.

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

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 Polyolefin Sealing Film 

• Optical Seal Adhesive Sealing Film
• Polyolefin 2.8 mil Ultra-clear for qPCR
• 50 Films/Pack, 10 Packs/Case 

Incredible optical clarity, non-absorbing, and non-fluorescing properties of these films make them ideally suited for Real Time PCR (qPCR) and optical assay work. Featuring an inert, ultra-clear, and strong encapsulated silicone adhesive that provides extraordinary performance in demanding 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, preventing evaporation and lessening 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.
