PR1MA™ Agar, Bacteriological Grade

 Optically Clear, Pressure Activated, Non-tacky Silicone.
 
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

Temp. Range

• -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
