Polyester, 3.1 mil,

The polyester films are a great general purpose seal; ideal for sample protection and elimination of well-to-well sample cross contamination. The acrylic adhesive offers a strong bond that seals tightly on polypropylene and polystyrene plates.

This seal is ideally suited for short term storage, Elisa assays, prevention of sample loss, and general lab usage.

The paper backing of this film is scored on both ends to allow for two handed (precise) placement on the plate.

For PCR applications see our standard PCR film or our Real Time PCR film.

For applications where accessing samples through the seal with pipet tips or a probe is required, see the pierceable aluminum (MID-PCR-200) film.

Certified free of RNase, DNase, Pyrogen, and nucleic-acid contamination.

Polyolefin, 2.8 mil, Ultra-

These 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.

  • Provides a secure seal and is easy to remove
  • Rigid polyester film features good clarity and easy handling
  • Can be used as a temporary economical seal while awaiting further processing

Optically Clear, Pressure Activated, Non-tacky Silicone

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
Temperature 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
