Sealing Film
Sealing film plays a vital role in modern molecular biology and life sciences workflows, helping ensure consistent, contamination-free results across PCR, qPCR, cell culture, and high-throughput screening. Whether you’re working with 96-well plates, tissue culture plates, or deep-well blocks, the right microplate sealing film or mat is key to preventing evaporation, ensuring plate sealing integrity, and protecting well contents during incubation, storage, or thermal cycling.
At MIDSCI, we offer high-quality sealing solutions designed for compatibility with standard PCR plates, multi-well plates, and cyclers. Our product range includes adhesive films, pierceable foils, silicone sealing mats, and heat sealing options, all rigorously tested for compatibility.
Types of Sealing Films
Microplate Sealing Films & Tapes
Designed for short-term and long-term storage, these films are available in adhesive, heat-sealing, and pressure-sensitive formats. Options include polypropylene, polyolefin, polystyrene, and polyethylene-based films for a wide range of applications, from PCR and qPCR to ELISA and microscopy.
Microplate Sealing Mats
Silicone sealing mats offer a reusable, autoclavable alternative to disposable films. They provide a secure seal that resists evaporation, leakage, and cross-contamination in assays and incubation processes.
Features and Benefits of Sealing Film
- Excellent seal integrity across a wide temperature range
- Adhesive seals that are non-sterile or sterile, depending on the application
- Compatibility with fluorescence-based assays and microscopy workflows
- Designed to minimize well-to-well contamination and evaporation
- Secure seal options for solvents, reagents, and PCR applications
- Pierceable and resealable designs available for automation or manual pipet access
- Leak-resistant construction is ideal for short-term storage or long-term storage
- Heat sealing and foil seal options for enhanced barrier properties
- Tight seal performance with various PCR plates and well plate types
- Low autofluorescence options for sensitive detection workflows
Applications of Sealing Film
- PCR and qPCR: Maintain consistent thermal contact while preventing evaporation and contamination.
- Cell Culture and Tissue Culture: Seal well plates for incubation without disrupting gas exchange or sample integrity.
- Assays and High-Throughput Screening: Prevent cross-contamination in fluorescence- or absorbance-based assays.
- Microscopy and Imaging: Use clear, optically compatible films for accurate, artifact-free imaging.
- Storage and Transport: Ensure sample integrity in reagents and biological samples during long-term storage.
