General Purpose Sealing Film For a More Secure Seal to Minimize Evaporation

• 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

X-Pierce™ Sealing Films for Re-sealability and Easy Access Without Pipet Tip Coring or Adhesive Fouling

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

DuraSeal™ Sealing Film

• Durable, heat-resistant, solvent-proof laboratory sealing film
• Chemically resistant
• Heat resistant & Microwave compatible
• Tight sealing
• Tear resistant

DuraSeal™ is easy to use. There is no inter-leaf paper to strip away, just stretch the film symmetrically over a container opening and the 1.5mil thick film contracts inwardly around the opening or neck of the container to provide a drum-tight, water-proof seal. The film can be elongated 500-800% before breakage. The film clings to itself, especially after stretching so the free edges of the film may be stretched around the container to secure the container edges.

Permeability Information:

• Oxygen = 125cc/100in2/24hrs at 23°C
• Carbon Dioxide = 1300cc/100in2/24hrs at 23°C
• Water Vapor = 1.0g/100in2/24hrs at 38°C and 90% R.H.

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.

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.

Sealing Mat for 96 Square Well Microplate

AxyMat Sealing Mats

• Multi-use silicone sealing mats
• Natural color
• Autoclavable and washable

AxyMat Sealing Mats

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.
