AS1X8FILMSTRIPS
Adhesive Sealing Film, Polyolefin
These 2.8 mL, 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.

Black Vinyl Sealing Film for Black Microplates
AbsorbMax™ Black Vinyl Sealing Film for Black Microplates
AbsorbMax™ is a black vinyl film that can be applied to either the top or bottom of the plate.- Minimizes background fluorescence and cross talk between plate wells
- Ideal as a back seal for black plates with clear well bottoms for top reading measurements
- Absorbs stray light, reducing the background caused by light scatter
- Protects light sensitive samples from degradation
- Features a single split liner for easy application
Applications
- Fluorescence assays
- Light sensitive sample protection
Temperature Range
- -40°C to +80°C
For Use with White Microplates
BrightMax™ White, Light-reflecting, Vinyl Sealing Film
Designed for use with white microplates.
- The light reflective properties on clear-bottom plates maximize the sensitivity of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence assays in bottom-reading luminometers
- Maximizes intensity and signal-to-noise ratios in luminescence assays
- May be used as a backing matrix for microscopy of punch-out samples for filter plates (e.g. ELISPOT assays)
- Features a single split liner for easy application
Applications
- Luminescence
- Fluorescence
- Microscopy
- -40°C to +80°C
- Provides exceptional seal to safeguard samples during transport or storage
- Eliminates well to well contamination and cross-over in PCR applications when used with Axygen's compression mat
- Polypropylene film is wide temperature range compatible, -40° to 104°C
- PCR-TS is designed for ELISA/EIA applications
- CR-TS-900 is twice as thick (as PCR-TS) and is suitable for water-bath and other difficult PCR applications
